[88pony]

Re: another Fox







I thought all the ashtray doors were broken from day one? I got this car for the mass-air conversion to my car. I have a spare one of everything for it also. Now my wife says she thinks we should work on it and she'd drive it-dunno what I have done to her all these years ??? ??? Got the front fenders also. Think the fuel pump is out or problems with the wires to it. Hope to find out tommorrow.

Re: another Fox

Yup, that one looks strangely familiar! ;)
Looks like a good find and seems to be definetly repairable.

Re: another Fox

check the fuel pump relay it's under the drivers seat and are prone to going out. My old one quit lots and i eventually eliminated it. Looks to be in quite good shape compared to one up here the same vintage in the Great White North ;D

Re: another Fox

Thanks, guys. The doors, hatch, strut towers front fenders have no rust issues. We'll see how it goes.

Re: another Fox

Nice Stang! I don't know if this is the case with your car, but I once had the fuel pump shut off in my 88 Tempo GLS after a minor hit, and I had to reset the fuel system with a button/switch in the trunk of the car. Maybe it's the same situation in your car.

Re: another Fox

It may be 'another Fox', but the cool thing is we here at BS have a lot of Fox diversity.

We have:
4 eyes
aero nosers
a wagon
carb'd turbo 4 banger
efi turbo 4 banger
efi 5.0L
carb'd big block
DD's
street/strip
road racers

Good luck with it. The more I work on mine, the more I like it's simplicity.

Re: another Fox

Perfect place to ask this... Is there a better chassis for an engine test bed vehicle? I've heard of almost anything you can imagine in a Fox. Turbo6 Buick, BBC, Pinto Turbo4, Mod motor, even a flathead!

Not a problemo for either in a Fox.

Re: another Fox

Fox body mustangs are the deuce coupes and Tri-5s of this generation. Cheap, easy to work on, light and fast with a few mods. You're limited only by your imagination.

X2 on the simplicity. If mine is the carb'd/turbo 4banger one on the list, put a two in front of the efi turbo 4banger on the list, just scored an 86 SVO engine/trans and all the fixin's for three bills ;D.

I say build a track only car on the cheap, and race the ba-jeezus out of it no matter what type of racing you chose.

There is now a blue print on here how to make this thing a sleeper. Have fun no matter what you do.
