My New Addition

[JETHRO]

brought home my fifth fox body thanx to YEAHLOH95. saw it in the local paper and it said it needed a tranny. so i went to look at it and it wasnt bad other that the moss growing on the front bumper because it had been sitting so long. other than a couple places of minor rust from stone chips and 2 dings in the fenders , its staight. the thing i liked the most is completely unmolested. air silencer is still in it. im the 3rd owner now and it has a legitimate 90000 miles. 1800 bucks took it. now i have 2. ive heard youre not happy until you have 3 though.

[gmkillr]

Cool, post up some pics when you get a chance!:biglaugh:

[yeahloh95]

hey i like that trailer in your avitar and rob thats the car :awsome: put up some bigger ones the car is in great shape

[Viper_ed]

ive heard youre not happy until you have 3 though.

Everytime I get to 3, I always sell one within 3 months. Guess I just need to buy 2 next time and just go right to 4!

[INSANELY CRAZY]

cool.. dont stop at 3 or 4.. you can never have to many mustangs at once.. lets see few pix

[Killercanary]

Congrats Steve! What the plan for this one? Is it also going to be a SCCA car? If so, will it be built for a different class than the one you currently run in?

[lib88stang]

Sounds like a good find. Post some pics.

Sweet and congrats... I'm working on getting my second Stang. I don't think my wife will let me have a third one though because that means her car would have to sit out.

k member and suspension are going in this one from the red one. ill probably just use what i need and see what i can get for the shell. ill need to get a couple things like a clutch and the tranny from the red one. its good so ill use it. brought the painter guy over last night and he was really liking the body on it. fenders will be swapped though from the red one. SCCA car ,(same class) definitely i have 2 but ill only drive one. besides this one also has a sunroof so ill have room for when my helmets on.:veryhappy: stop by saturday paul ill be here and you can take a look at it. the body of the red one is not bad but that rocker is pretty ugly where it needs fixed at.

Theyre not the greatest but they should do for now. Boy you can really tell a fenders been repainted when you enhance a picture.

[Silverhatch]

Looks decent.:woot1:

[INSANELY CRAZY]

looks like a nice buy

[Killercanary]

Looks good Steve! I won't be around today, so I won't be able to stop. Let me know if you are planning to sell your red one as a shell and what you want for it.

Depends on whats left of it. As far as the gray one goes , i just got done taking the motor out so i could do things easier. needs a rear main anyway and ill probably throw a clutch in it. The people that had it before didnt do a thing to it. not even a K&N. The throttle body still had coolant lines running through it. other than minor rust spots underneath everything is perfect. dog bone still intact.

[JETHRO]

Here are some better pics. Sort of a had a big cleanup in the garage. Sorry about the garbage.http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t59/JETHRO75/100_0270.jpg

Yeah the red car is alright but once you get up close you can see all the flaws in the body. and some of them werent gonna be an easy fix.

Like you need another car Troy. How about beefing up the driveline in the yellow car so it can actually run 10's, buy the new wheels for the yellow car that you've been talking about for years, get the 55lb injectors for the SVO... and lets not forget the diesel truck you want for towing your trailer around or the poor poor escort that is begging for retirement!
:busted: :sticktonge:

[Viper_ed]

get the 55lb injectors for the SVO...

It may be cheaper to get the Siemens 60# ones that everyone uses in the Cobra. I have seen several sets on the Corral the past week NIB shipped for $350 or less.

While I was at the body shop I redid my intake plate . I put an old one there for a comparison.http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t59/JETHRO75/100_0308.jpg

[yeahloh95]

[JETHRO]

Well if anybody gives a sh*t , I fired it up today for the first time and drove it out of the garage. I still need to align the front bumper cover and finish the red stripe still, and put in the interior.http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t59/JETHRO75/100_0317.jpg Im really liking the 82 GT scoop.
