Default Here's my new fox

So I got the 86 roller I was looking at and figured I share some pics. She's a little rough around the edges, but she's got it where it counts, a straight rust free frame, intact torque boxes, and it's a 4 eye. There's nothing wrong with it that a little TLC and a few of my interior parts can't fix. I paid 1200 for it, but IMO it's well worth it to have a great foundation to start on, plus I can do what I want and not feel bad about messing it up.



I'll try to get some better pics when I get it home, plus I'll be taking pics during the swap and maybe after a fresh coat of paint.

For right now it's going to be the MAF 302 from my 89. In a few weeks depending on how work goes I'm going to start building either a carbed H/C/I 306 or 331 I haven't decided yet if I wanna go with the bigger engine. I have a buddy with a carbed 306 with stock ported heads and an ots cam an he wants like 500 bucks for it so I might just drop that in for now and put the suspension stuff I was gunna put on the 89 on.

not bad but the price is a little high for my taste.

i waited for 4mth's and payed $800 for a coupe that run's and is in good damn shape.


are fox's just rare/expensive in your area?

other then the price it looks pretty nice. hood is a bonus
