Thought I would start a new thread so that I can post of pics of the 4banger. I would say that the only 2 things I saw that could be problamatic on the car is the paint and the seal around the moon roof needs to be replaced. Sorry I didnt clean her up for the pics... she is what she is. Body is dang near in perfect shape.











Found one crack on the spoiler

Good pics. Project 4nomore. Time to resurect the mare. Paint is pretty rough. I thought it might be able to be buffed until I saw the pics of the roof line forward of the sun roof. Looks like someone liked auto brush car washes.

Shelby10'

Yeah dont think Buffing is going to cure the roof

DavidM

It might come clean with a wet sand and polish?

Shelby10'

Well if I was a paint expert I would give some input... but I am not such expert. You will just have to see the car in person and be the judge.

Shelby10'

I think with a little buffing the car will clean up nicely, but the roof def needs some clear haha

DavidM

The roof and moon roof, side mirrors, interior, seats, wheels, tires, motor, spoiler, hatch, doors, quarters, etc etc,,, All in need of some serious TLC

DavidM

How long has it been sitting?

The clear is peeling. No fix for that except to respray.. It will need paint IMO. But the car is very clean otherwise. Good project!

DavidM

I wonder if you could get a sand and clear cheaper than an entire repaint?

Shelby10'

I was told that the expensive part of a paint job is prep work. If we do all of the prepwork and do a good job. All we will have to do is have someone shoot it with paint and clear it. Paint isnt tooo expensive.

DavidM

Yep that is correct. I won't settle for a Maco Crap job though. I would guess a budget of a grand should do it if a lot of the prep work is done before hand.

Also its just my opinion but the interior I would change. I dont like the seats. They just dont look like fox body seats...oh and they need to be shampood

DavidM

I have been researching different things and talking with Andrew to come up with a plan of attack. I think we have decided that it is best to get it looking correct inside and out first and then start building the drivetrain. He is thinking to go with the 93 Cobra clone look of sorts. Pony in the grill, 93 cobra replica wheels, 93 Cobra rear wing and rear bumper cover. After the parts are on the car we can start prepping for paint. The interior will get new carpet and I think we are planning to see if we can source some sport seats from a salvadge yard from a 5.0 then recover with new upholstery. I think the rest should clean up and will remain stock. Obvious items like the mouldings and seals can be sourced out relitively cheap from LRS (50RESTO). I am currently taking donations for the project. LOL

Shelby10'

Sweet... just like overhaulin... strip her down to the bear minimum and choose your pieces sounds like fun... I wanna fox tooo

DavidM

You can live vicariously thru my kid. Thats what I'm doing. Again donations are welcome and can include parts that could come in handy. LOL

Shelby10'

Hey I'm down... I have a cobra spoiler.... My brother is going to build my old 85 back up... it still has the cobra spoiler that i had on it. I'll see if he wants to sell it or keep it

DavidM

Cool. I think all I have left from my old fox days are a flywheel, a set of heads, two ten hole wheels, and two LX taillights. If any of these parts your brother can use and would like to trade Im open.

Shelby10'

He hasnt started his build up yet.... he has to finish justins mustang first. I bet you two could trade for quite a bit. I belive he has blocks, heads, headers, and others stuff..trading might be possible.... do you sell your body, he loves trannies?

DavidM

Hmmmmm........Well ..........?????
