I'm sure it was a great project. I've had a few Fox Body Mustangs and they are fun cars. I really like the color and the fact it's a notch back coupe.Gyrhead wrote: ↑09 Jun 2017, 17:39Well gang - 3 months of hard effort and the LX 5.0 is about done. New suspension with Koni struts / shocks, 5 speed conversion, replacement of the radiator support/front apron/fenders/hood (past crash damage) and a good general freshening up of the 85,000 mile 302 (timing chain, oil pump, water pump, gaskets, rebuilt injectors) plus a fanatical top to bottom scrubbing and we've got a presentable and good running 5.0 Notch.Gyrhead wrote: ↑13 Mar 2017, 18:44New addition to the team. 1988 LX 5.0 Notch. Low miles, a bit ratty but ZERO rust. This is a project for me and my 16 year old. Great cars, epic parts availability and anvil simple to work on.
First order of business is suspension. struts, shocks, C-springs, rear control arms and 5 lug conversion (to allow a better wheel/tire package). Can't wait!
Great project, the boys put in a decent amount of effort and they love the result. Long story short - another worthy Ford lives on, and the next generation of Ford lovers ensured. Dave Wyrwas - seems like a long time since my oldest was a toddler and used to come to the Tewksbury cruise night in our 428 CJ !!
