I think I hope you didn't pay a lot for that thing...

The best tip I can give you is start eating bologna lol cause its gonna get costly.

Haha Im just giving the new guy a hard time .

Definatly will be a fun project, I love working on these cars , and if I had the cash I would pick up a cheap fox to restore my self.

That looks like a total tear down every thing including seats carpet dash molding and all.

How many miles on the ole girl? Bummer about the salt air down there in florida , it eats every thing up.

Fox body mustangs and 5.0 cars I. General are a lot cheaper for restoring and modding than whole lot of other cars.

I paid less for my 94 GT car than the price of a mass air sensor for my rx7.

Blasphemy mentioning them here but the 80's gen camaros and mustangs seem to be the best bang for buck project cars.

These fox bodies are gonna be the next classic I'm feeling. Looks like you got a straight body too.

You should see my 93 Vert I just got its in worse shape. It was used as a doner car so it has no interior left, engine or transmission. Perfect body though and its got a new convertible top in the box. Best thing is I got it free lol paying 100 bucks to have it moved to my house tomorrow. But I am kind of insane I like to take the kind of car everyone will pass up on because they say its to far gone. Yours by no means is to far gone that is in good shape from what I can see.
