Default FINALLY FOUND IT! got another fox.

Picked this up tonight for $800, 1985 LX four cylinder.

Been looking for a four banger for a while to daily drive, ever sence i started DD'ing mine four months ago.

seem's pretty sound, seems to not want to start, have to keep in the throttle to keep it running, but once you get moving it is good to go, and gives no issue stopping at light's and such.

four banger automatic, three speed. tran's seem's fine, but prob going to have to buy little thing's here and there to get the engine running right. Nightmare of extra wire's all over the place under the hood, so probably going to have some wiring issues......

we drove a hour to get it, and it made it all the way here on the highway and such, so its running pretty good already i guess, haha. (one day it will be a drag car im sure)

anyway, heres some picture's we took, we literly just got the thing, so its 11PM

more pictures and info in the morning.







I LOVE WHITE 4-EYE COUPE'S!!!

My favorite part is the mud/snow tires on the back. keep those babies for a conversation piece.lol Nice find. I paid $1000 for my coupe 4cyl, it ran as good as a new one, but the tranny was smoked and wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a cats ***. I see a build thread in your future. You know you want to.
