    Old Guy Trying To Come Back

    Nothing yet just been scrolling Seeing what's out there. I'm looking for something as stock as possible, I really want an LX hatch or coupe but I wouldn't rule out another GT. All I seem to be finding is verts though. I used to be totally against verts but since I've had my jeep I've learned to...

    Old Guy Trying To Come Back

    Haven't been on here in forever. I have had several foxes and used to post here all the time. I (like an idiot) sold my last fox about 10 years ago. I didn't mess with cars at all other than driving them for about 8 years and then I sold my Tacoma and bought a Jeep TJ. I love the jeep and...

    2008 Battery Drainage

    Ok I have an 08 v6 with the notorious shaker 500. Battery was draining over night and I read all the crap about the :poo:ty radio/amp issue. Completely unhooked the radio harness from the head unit. Seemed to stop the battery drain....for about a year. Now it's doing it again (radio still...

    What To Look For 2012 Gt??

    Going this week to check out a 2012 automatic GT with 49K miles. I don't know much about the newer cars having only had fox bodies, are there any issues to look for?? Does the new auto have any issues? I know I read about some engine noise and oil consumption problems on the early 2011 models...

    2008 Mustang Stereo Draining Battery With Car Off

    My friend has a 2008 V6 with the shaker system. A few days ago his battery was dead and he assumed it was just because it was old and replaced it. Now a few days later the new battery is dead also. He noticed that while the car is completely shut off every few minutes you hear a loud pop through...

    What Do You Think Of This '82 Coupe?

    foxbody mustang Looks like a pretty clean and straight car and if the mods listed are well done it should be decently fun to drive. I know that's not a factory color but it looks like they went the extra mile and painted the engine bay to match.

    Why A Fox?

    Yeah maybe this one needs a little too much interior help. I found another interesting coupe closer to me check out my other thread.

    Why A Fox?

    The paint isnt a big issue, I have a friend with a body shop who would shoot it for me pretty cheap providing the body isn't to rough. What kinda scares me on the $ side is tackling that ratty interior.

    Why A Fox?

    So the guy text me back and said the guy who won the auction won't respond to his e-mails. Here is the car 1993 EX Texas DPS Mustang Varified looks pretty rough but it IS a notch and from the look of it the engine hasn't been touched.

    Why A Fox?

    Doesn't look like the notch is going to pan out, he had it for sale on E-bay as well as CL and it sold for a little above his reserve price, which was about all I was willing to pay for it. I told him if the ebay sale didn't work out to let me know. The search continues.....

    Why A Fox?

    That's what I'm saying, the '11 is awesome Sharad, but the little red LX gets my blood pumping a lot more for some reason. Hell my wife's Camry is probably faster than a stock Fox but it just doesn't matter.

    Why A Fox?

    I have been without a mustang for a while now, and have never stopped wanting one. I have looked at everything from new edge cars to test driving a '11 GT but I always come back to looking at and drooling over fox bodies. I found a '92 Notch that is supposed to be an ex Texas DPS car. Not sure...

    Pictures Of/experience With Dyed Interiors?

    May have a line on a '92 coupe, the interior is maroon however. Some parts will need to be replaced due to age of course but I am interested in dying the interior black or gray. Any suggestions or warnings?

    Which Would You Start With For A Build?

    It will be carbed and very bare bones, not a DD by any means. Just a hobby car to play with and drive occasionally. Thinking FR manual rack, no A/C. So accesory brackets shouldn't be a big issue. I would make sure the roller had all the dash harness and Headlight harness, but as for ignition I...

    Which Would You Start With For A Build?

    I have been looking at building a 4eyed car, nothing fancy just a solid N/A 302 in the 250-300ish HP range, T-5. Something that needs minimal body work just want to completely redo the interior, weather stripping ect. and go with a basic paint job. The question is this, I have found a few 4eyed...

    Pull The Trigger On '12 V6?

    Haven't had a mustang in 5 years, used to own several fox 5.0's. Right now I'm driving a 4 cylinder Tacoma and it's a nice truck and super dependable, but I'm itching for another mustang. I have found a 2012 with about 30K on it that I really like. Are there any glitches showing up on the new...
