    Progress Thread Daily Driver.... 89 GT - Body & Paint Done

    Its been a while since I posted on this thread. Its been a long road to get my car fixed. The guy I had lined up to fix the car basically ghosted me. He had said he would take the car the week of the 4th. I called the body shop a couple days after the holiday and asked if we were still on...

    2000 GT: PI intake swap time

    What coating did you purchase? I am asking because I want to protect the single stage paint on my 89 and keep it from oxidizing. Wife picked up the mother CMX stuff a few years ago. I never used it till recently. From what I read it is good for the money but does not last very long. Just...

    Need advice: 93 Cobra audio upgrade with no permanent modifications

    I put a system in my 89 GT that can be removed and nobody will know. Nothing was drilled and no wiring was cut, well other than the plug from the factory amp but it was dead anyway. I have kicker separates in the front. Mids in the doors with some killmat and the dash has the tweeters in the...

    2000 GT: PI intake swap time

    Nice work sir :nice: That car has come a long way since you got it. I feel the same way about my 89 GT. The red was so oxidized when I got it. A lot of elbow grease brought that old original single stage right back. Then I had the titanium ground effects repainted. Now I am on the fence...

    Engine 1991 Fox body runs like crap with hood closed

    Do you have an open air filter element and an exhaust leak? If so it could be the carbon monoxide that is choking it. When I first got my jet boat, the water log headers leaked exhaust a bit, I didn't think anything about it but after about 15-20 min out on the water the thing would start...

    2000 GT: PI intake swap time

    Looks good sir :nice: The material looks like it is decent quality. I need to do the same thing to my wife's 96 vert. What did you do about the foam? Was the leather glued to the foam?

    Engine What engine oil are you running in your foxbody?

    I have been using Mobil 1 in pretty much all my cars and trucks since I bought Tigger in 99. Prior to that, it was whatever was the cheapest name brand conventional oil. My mom's 94 Escort GT is the only car that we have owned that I have used synthetic in since it was new, well since the...

    Fox Need paint code help !!! Need answer quick please.

    My 89 GT is in the body shop. I am getting the lower titanium redone. Can someone tell me what the correct paint code is for this so the body shop can order paint? Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to avoid them making it up from scratch. Last question is what is the sheen supposed...

    2000 GT: PI intake swap time

    I had the motorsport B springs which were Eibach pro's on my Tigger car. I was never happy with the drop out of the box. I ended up cutting the dead coil off the rears and probably another half coil or so off the front to get the car to where I was happy with it. I went sportline when I did...

    So I guess this means time for a heater core.

    The original heater core let go on my 89 GT last fall. I spent a couple weeks hunting for a brass replacement or someone to recore my original one at a fair price. Unfortunately, at that time, I could not source a brass one and the only rad shop in town that repairs radiators wanted a little...

    No brake lights and turn signals don’t flash

    My 89 had intermittent turn signals when I first bought it. Half way thru my commute to work they would stop working. And then on my way home, no issues, they worked just fine. I figured out that it was my ignition switch under the column that was bad. I just happened to jiggle the key...

    2000 GT: PI intake swap time

    My PSA is to not buy cheap ball joints when you replace them. When I lowered my wifes 96 GT vert, I had to do it on the cheap. It had a bad inner tie rod and outers were squeaking because they were original and had no grease zerks. Ball joints were iffy too so since I had to order parts I...
