Yeah, normally most fox bodies are worth less than $10K, an SVO might be up there pretty close though

nah it would take 20k with new parts, this is a junkyard build, i will be putting a 8.8" with 3.73's outback,basically the only thing that is going to be Z is the body. making and building cars takes 1 or two things being this is a hobby build to break thing im not worried about lasting. it's gonna be a fun run car. i dont see it costing a ton of money. but it is the little **** that kills projects.

Take it to one of those car washes with a pressure sprayer on a trailer or in the bed of a parts truck. Scrape off heavy stuff. Soak it with the engine degreaser. Brush heavy stuff. Spray off. Repeat.

Blow dry at home completely. Tape and spray with high heat paint according to directions. WD-40 the rest (after the paint is dried).
