New 93 Convertible 2.3L

New 93 Convertible 2.3L

Wanted a convertible for the summer...no ideas what future plans are.

ps: faded red (and i mean faded!) was killer to bring back...but mothers and a couple days...she turned out pretty good....have to try and either fix top motor (only clicks...have checked fuses/ok...and as clicks, im guessing relay ok...so im guessing motor?) or replace...but top itself is almost new and in really good shape.

Awesome!!! I love Foxbodies!!!

and as far as just the clicking it might be the starter relay or the starter itself if not the battery. The best place to start is the battery. Check to see if it has 12 volts and then check to see what it drops down to when you try to start it.

Great looking vert. I've got a red '91 with a 5.0!

I wish my top worked.

my vert was lonely,so got her a friend to play with...

it's a 88 2.3L auto....runs good,but paint has seen better days (price was too good to pass up)...might try paint with roller thing...and use as winter car (replacing the taurus)...not to sure right now...
