Window shopping

The white one is a clear winner.

BlakeusMaximus · Apr 2, 2019

I searched years for a coupe. I bought the one above thinking I would fix those rusted shocks towers, floors and rails. Just didn't have the time and resources at the time. Now, I probably could have saved it. Oh well, buy the white one!

If you wanted to hack the white car up and make it a 25.5 ultra street car so be it . It’s your money .

Whatever your plans were I’d get the white car all day long.

Opinions are like ...... if it were me . White car . 3 inch tail pipes , get it to sit a touch lower an enjoy the out of it

Ahhhh.... I see that I have arrived just in time.

I'll save you all a bunch of time and mention that ole hooptie there, has a particular knack for this sort of thing. What he does after, is often subject to discussion but I thought I'd just warn you that he's only thinking out loud in this thread.

You're not telling me anything I don't already know.

I remember back in the 90's, when I was shopping for a fox.

"A coupe? I don't want one of those. Looks like a ford Taurus. Gimme a hatch!"

I regret that choice

You and everyone else.

Not everyone. A hatch hardtop is still my #1. Good thing they made a lot of them.

White coupe. Sub frames, gears, 11rs, your choice of intake, stock cam. Enjoy.

With 10 holes?

CarMichael Angelo · Apr 3, 2019

And on that note, I'll add this observation. I think you're a car guy. Car guys don't stop wanting a car. Several guys get on here, buy a Mustang, flog on it for a couple of years and lose interest. Eventually selling off the car, and never return to the hobby.

Other guys keep themselves broke while they spend every spare dime on the " voice in the garage" for years...year after year.
( I'm that guy,...I'm finally past the income obstacle, so I feed the voice, w/o having to starve myself to do it)

You're gonna end up with a car again just as surely as you are reading this..and I've already stated that the best thing for you is to keep the car " tastefully" modded. ( wheels, brakes, exhaust, appearance) and stay the hell away from the engine. The minute you have to put a car up on stands where you can't complete the project in a couple of days, will be followed 1 year later with a for sale sign.

I do like the 10-holes. LoL I can't lie.

I love them on a red hatch with black molding

I [almost] bought these when they were for sale (way back when): http://www.detroitracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6209

I wouldn't mind doing something like this but what I'd really like to do at some point, is design a 17 inch by 10 and 17 inch by 8, 10-hole and put it on my Fox.

Someday

It [is] getting easier and less expensive to have one-off wheels made.

deathb4dismount · Apr 3, 2019

I’m not sure they would look good in 17. Have you ever seen 16 inch draglites? I think they look weird. Widening the stockers would be the way to go for me at least.

White car sold. It’s safe now

If the diameter of the 10-holes is enlarged to match the rest of the wheel and the number of holes is not changed, I think it would look badass.

I'll work up a 3D model so we can see what it would look like. Might take me some time to get to. It's one of those 'back-of-the-mind' projects that just rolls around and wakes you up a couple times a year in the middle of the night.

Hatch GT, with sunroof all day long...

Mustang5L5 · Apr 3, 2019

I'd trade my sunroof for T-tops if I could.

That car looks nice. Maybe it is the black molding. On mine, I hate them, and can’t wait to get rid of them.

Window shopping

Wasn't a pretty sight...and I've got big hands

Still got to try a little lube on my speedo head

If you're the village idiot what's that make me?
