I finally was able to get a few pics of my car tonight. (Its 9:30 pm in buffalo and its windy and raining). The pics did not come out well, but at least you all have an idea of what my car looks like. The car is currently w/out my back bumper, and is on blocks on the left side due to a slow leak in my front tire. But here you go, more to follow on thursday, since i will have time to fill up my tire and take pics when there is sunlight.

What on earth did you do to that poor car? Somewhere there is a pep boys with VERY empty shelves.

dont start a fight..... :nono: but if u have a problem with each other u should pm each other. that keeps the issues out of the topic
see the forum guidlines at the top of the foxes forum, it is something that we need to keep everything smooth.

Nope, it is your car and you ve every right to make it look however bad.... or I guess good as you want to. That whole cowl thing is hideous, the talilights look like they came off a 16 year old's honda civic, the headlights dont line up for crap (look like ebay specials), the hood is awfull. It looks like it could be a very nice, clean fox, but it has been aesthetically raped.

Oddly enough I do like the wheels though

Like I said though it is your car, and if making it look like that makes you happy, then I say go for it. However, dont post pictures on the internet without expecting at least some negative comments. To me it looks like you totally scrweed up the look of the car, but to others it may look good. Variety is what makes the world interesting after all.

I like the wheels on his car also, they look neat. They arent muscular in anyway, but they do compliment the car nicely

Starting a fight? Who is starting a fight? All i wanted to know is why my car was made from a lot of pep boys parts. I dont care if you knock my car, just tell me what you dont like, which you finally did. Most of the criticism I get is from the lights and the cowl, but thats cool, cant please everyone. Thanks for looking anyways!!

They remind me of the Cobra Motorsport that are out there...the fake rivets and all. The rims are actually front wheel drive rims. I've been looking around and still cant find decent CHROME 18" five spoke rims for my car....anyone seen any lately?

If wheels are something you really want, it would be worth it to do a five lg swap. Then it would be no problem finding them.

I will see if I can find a website detailing install procedure, or you can just use google. Yes, I believe you are better off using the front assembly's from and sn 95, because if you use lincoln stuff I think it limits your wheel choices, but I mayu be wrong on that since I have never done the swap myself. For the rear I think you can use two ranger axles, either left side or right side, I dont remember which. Paul would know alot more about a swap on these cars thanI would though, since I am sure he has done one or two before.

Thanks Joker ....ive already looked on ebay for kits....they range around 400-700 bucks. I'll check out a few junk yards around here for 94-98 front brake parts.

I may have some extra parts in the next week or so, I will let you know. I know I will have calipers, possibly rotors and brake lines Only other thing you would need would be caliper brackets and spndles for the front. Anyways, if yo want I wil let you know what I have extra.

I am picking up a set of 99 dual piston calipers, rotors, brackets, bolts, nad lines for $60. If you want I will see if they alos have a full set up for an sn95.
