but that was After I drove to the other side of St. Catherines for this.... It is a fox, but not a bird or convert cat, but still kind of rare, at least around here....  Note the roof...

so, what are you gonna do with that hood?
Title: surprise, soon.....(pics added)
Post by: 1WLD BRD on August 25, 2007, 09:42:38 PM
sell it or trade it for one for this body style.. I also have a Mach I hood for the '87-93 style.. Considered swapping the front end for the other style but I cant, I love the looks of this car.  This is EXACTLY the same as my first stang, only WAAAYYYY better shape.  The one I bought was actually my dream car, but by the time I got it it was rotted beyond repair, so now this will be a tribute to it, and it's memories.

Yeah same here, that is why I bought it.  I am already looking for a set of SFC for it.  They will be welded in , then I will be doing a 5 bolt conversion, since it REALLY needs brakes, as they are none existant now.

Got it running today, first time it has even been cranked over for 4 years.

Video of cranking it up. (http://"http://s205.photobucket.com/albums/bb170/1WLDBRD/?action=view¤t=MOV03524.flv")

Ah, yes, my fave of the fox stangs.  Congrats.

Post by: 1WLD BRD on August 26, 2007, 10:10:43 PM
yeah the noise is gone now, probably was just a dry lifter.  My buddy found it a few years ago sitting in the back of a driveway, on the way to one of his jobs.  When he seen it move out to the side of the road with a for sale sign he stopped and checked it out for me.  Needless to say we were both excited about it, (him more then me actually  LOL) 
He bugged me today to sell it to him, since I haven't really done anything to it yet.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
