    My 1990 LX project

    CL????? Craigslist. Nevermind , duhhh. Picked it up for $1900 with a decent engine and some nice seats. Original engine had a sever rod knock, so the guy swapped it out for another engine for me. I also kept the original engine which has also been machined already and is for sale.

    My 1990 LX project

    Update: I took the car to a very reputable alignment shop here in town. Suppose to be the best. The rubbing ended up being more than rubbing. Tires weren't rubbing at all. My rims were grinding against the lower a-arm at full lock!! Also, they found the k-member off by 1/2". Also something...

    My 1990 LX project

    One thing I was curious about was, how should I adjust the cc plates until I take the car to the alignment shop?? I haven't tightened up yet because i wanted to see if the wheels were going to camber in or out. I was thinking since the cc plates will be loose the wheels would camber towards the...

    Looks like I got me my first Fox 5.0 Stang!!!!

    Well I brought her home today. Had a 40 mile drive, so I got to feel out the car. She looks like she runs a little warm. The temp gauge tends to hang right under the last white line before the red. It wasn't doing that on the whole ride home, did it when i used the car later in the day when I...

    Very nice, but your car looks higher than stock from the rear.

    Sold my fox for a 2011 f150

    I agree with the others. Get another project. My bone stock down to the paper filter 2008 Tundra double cab w/5.7 runs low 14's all day. I have had different types of newer modified trucks for 10 years. My Tundra will be paid off in 2 years and I can't wait. The fox is paid for, so I can do...

    Who needs heaters? I live in southern California lmao!!! Seriously though, I know what you mean. I have replaced one in a buddy's fox body before. It was a real pain in the ass. Not worried about it right now, when the time comes I'll deal with it. Plus, when I pick up the car, it will be...

    Looks like I got me my first Fox 5.0 Stang!!!!

    Lol. Yeah, when I got there, the dash was out. The car was at a little shop where the guy has his own fox body business. He just deals with fox bodies only. I forgot to ask why the dash was out of the car, but then again for $1500 oh well. The guy was putting in a newer carpet for me as the...
