I must say thats a good lookin FOX body resto if I may say so myself. heh.
I miss the car, I just have too many projects and it was just going to sit there and felt it needed to be out there.

Im throwing the 5.0l I took out of my Built to Cruise Project and putting it in my F100 as the i6 240 compression is just gone.
Then it's on to the Bronco.

I'm in Carbondale, build houses in Aspen so right in the thick of brutal living costs.

The window tint looks amazing! Did you do that?

MRaburn · Oct 31, 2023

I bugged LMR and the owner for years to repop the 10 holes, they finally did!

MRaburn · Oct 31, 2023

@Trick_Gilly I still have the paint left over if you wanted me to send it to you.

I bugged Mike to bug LMR once I discovered he had an ear over there. He was already bugging them.

YES! Take my money!

Pushed out the oem lower intake gasket from the vortech. Had every intention of just replacing it.

Got in and most of the wire loom crumbled apart. Wasnt terribly impressed with condition of factory paint in engine bay. Redid all of it and a little wire tuck.

Thennn found a tubular gt40 and re-powdercoated it. 70mm TB, msd btm, Motion Raceworks valve cover vents and catch can, 8 rib pulleys, rebuilt injectors, and 130A alternator.

I had a set of cobra disc brakes on my other car that has turned more into a drag n drive project so I stole them. While i was in the rear end converting to 5 lug it got 31 spline axles, new trac-lok, and 3.55 gears.

Added the Maximum Motorsports road and track box, 18x9/10 saleen reps (will get different wheels later), and a new Maker's Garage splitter.

Trick_Gilly · Apr 21, 2024

And all done. Now it's just another ruined modded fox.

Took the car to Midwest Fox Fest in Omaha and was awarded "Best 4 Eye"

Noobz347 · Sep 17, 2024

How do they give a 4-Eye award with Aero Nose on it??? BLASPHEMERS!

By the way, some other dude came on here recently looking for a name for his white Mustang.

I suggested, "Cocaine"

He declined so, it's available.
