Looks great. Real clean. You keeping it as a daily driver?

 

No...but do plan on driving it a fair amount...and yes it is fairly clean,and almost completely rust free (reason i bought)...my plans are pretty basic for now (although that could change),would just like to bring it back to it's original condition.(new carpet/seats/stock radio/original rims/paint/and hours of detailing cleaning)

 

It's nice to see another well preserved early Fox. Do you have any other pics?

 

we want more pics interior and exterior shots

 

engine swap in the future?

 

Congrats on the new ride, looks real clean! As much as I love my '06, I miss my fox...I knew as soon as the guy that bought it drove it away that I would regret selling it someday.

 

uploaded new pics at car domain (re: first post)

 

Love the 4 eyes....and you got a notch to boot!

 

The car looks very nice all around. I like the colour combo. How many miles on it?

 

220000km (136000miles)

car is pretty good..having bit of a issue with a starter (replaced and now two weeks latter it all of a sudden will not engage and just spins,so hoping it's just a defective part,and not some type flywheel/flexplate ring gear issue,which would be $$$) which ill try and get too this weekend....

 

Looks nice. Are the center caps pushed in on the 10 holes?

 

Yes,and have tryed making flat,but don't want to leave crease mark...any suggestion to make them flat?

As for the starter issue...it turned out to be a bad voltage regulator and not defective new starter ...voltage regulator was making alternator not fully recharge battery and thus not giving enough power to fully turn over motor...car had been sitting for well over a year before i bought it and for whatever reasons to get car going i had to replace (starter-original one was toast/alternator-had put on machine and it wouldn't produce a charge/battery-tryed deep overnight charge but it wouldn't take/voltage regulator)...she is however now running like a champ... :-)


update: ah the center caps came out flat with use of rubber hammer...
