    Bought my first stang

    I don't know their usernames on here but both of my friends have or have had a fox body so I got the bug to get one as well. Bought an 88 the other day but don't know much about the car. It'll be a fun project, the car runs and drives pretty good as it sits now though, looks good from a distance though haha.




    I'll be posting more pictures later, but here is what I'm starting with.

    If anyone knows anything about this car please let me know as even the guy I bought it from didn't know everything about the car.

    Thanks for checking it out

    very clean! From my experience of owning 3 foxes. Either do performance or looks. Trying to do both at first like I did I was broke by the time I wanted big performance!

    Looks like it has potential. Where do you live? That area looks familiar.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Looks like a good solid car.
    Job 1 should be ditching the stickers.
    Job 2, if you're planning heads, cam, etc., do a MassAir conversion
    Job 3, put the stock airbox back on it or run the filter into the fenderwell.

    Blue hood has got to go, along with the hood pins. Needs wet sanded and buffed at least until the winter time when we can strip it down and repaint it.

    Has been running a little rough lately, actually as of this morning not running at all, it cranks hard just like it's not getting spark? Any ideas? I called a good friend (who is a mechanic) and he's looking into it for me but just curious.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

    If it were mine I'd re-do all the door frame trim to satin black. I hate when foxes get everything painted like that.
