Well I brought home an ‘88 LX 5.0/5spd yesterday that was sitting in a neighbors yard. Shes got good bones for the beginning of a long term cruiser project that I’ve been wanting to do since I sold my last fox ~ 20 years ago.
Today after work I spent a few hours going through everything, cleaning out the leaves and muck, washing it, starting to understand just how deep of a hole I’m in, etc. I’m the process I noticed the moon roof trim metal is totally roached. Rusted through and flaking off.
I can’t readily find any replacement kits, and what little research I’ve done kinda tells me I need to fork over a bunch of cash or get lucky on marketplace. But before I start hunting I figured I’d ask the net and see what people are doing these days.
I forgot to take pictures of the glass trim, but here are a few random ones I snapped because who doesn’t like pictures? (The exhaust was dragging on the ground when I bought it, the photo was to show the wife we’re “already making progress”
)
