csledd's foxbody picture progress thread
 

so basically I'll just post pics in this thread throughout the process of building my foxbody. Excuse the lack of my normal photography skills in these pics, not much to work with

3/4/06 -- This is pretty much how we got the car, you can tell from the pics it needs a lot of work. Btw I paid $200 for it with a title. Going to see what we can do with the little money we have to spend on it. I ordered an 8 point roll cage for it today from Jegs for $149.99 + $89 + $9.99 for handling fees. So right now the money spent on the car is under $500. Next week the roll cage will go in and we'll get it ready for paint. It's going to be a DSG foxbody btw :)


lol, figured I'd get my dad's poster in the pics for the guys on the forums :poke:

Hmmmm matching stangs...I cant wait to see when you get it painted...when you planning on doing it? Theres so much you can do with it emptied out like that its not even funny:devil2: :beerchug:

well, as soon as the roll cage comes in we're putting that in, and then it'll probably take about a day to get it ready to be painted, and the next day we could paint it (my dad is a body man :) )

it should be a monster since it will be carburated. there was no fuel injection for mustangs in '84. cousin had 3 84' GT's that caught on fire. keep on :punk:

oh man, the sex

dsg fox body with 5 lug conversion and anthracite fr500's!!!

THE SEX!!!

hmm I didn't think about fr500s lol

im definitely jealous of the fun you will be having with that thing

good luck :beerchug:

Damn that is going to be sweet DSG!!

Why'd you get a rollcage if you don't even have an engine yet?

But it is cool, I've always wanted a foxbody!

Damn christie, when did you decide on getting a fox?? I need to browse the forum more often. What year is it? Is it a 4 eyed? It's going to look bad ass in DSG.

I have an engine and a transmission but neither is in the car right now because we want to put the roll cage in first and THEN paint it so we don't bang up the new paint in the process of installing the roll cage.


yeah its a 4 eyed 1984 :) lol older than me by 1 year. I HATE the 4 eyes though so I think I'm going to get the black headlight covers for it lol

What about some anthracite or chrome bullitts?

i say keep the 4-eyes, it keeps the original styling, but thats just me... add some lamps to the bottom bumper and it would look sweet

btw i do have the front bumper.. we just took it off to make pushing it easier lol

again, thats just me, cuz i really don't like the dark covers on the headlights.... only on darker mustangs...... so, if you are going to keep the paint similar to your other stang, it would look good, but with a lighter color keep the 4's... either way it's going to look very nice

sweet christie, and yeah I'm with you on the four eyes...check these out:

bad ass fox body

Yeah the color of the foxbody is gonna be pretty similiar to my 03.. probably not AS good, cuz it's a drag car only but it'll be close enough.

Those headlights look pretty good, but I'd rather just get some cheap ass covers, I'm low budget on this thing :)

I got an email from Jegs saying the roll cage is backordered :( So now I dunno how long it'll be before I get to make anymore progress

What kind of engine and tranny you got waiting to put in?

just a 302 and a c4 tranny for now. we'll probably get a ford racing cam for it soon also.

Very nice, I want to do something like this. You MUST get a set of Kirkey seats for it. Im getting some for whatever car I make a project car, be it a fox or a 94-95. I would love to put them in my car now, but dont think thatd go over to well with the folks lol.

a c4? i thought you were trying to keep it cheap

You planning to use any NOS!!!!?

subscribing...


i almost bought a 93 4cyl to swap in a 302 a couple weeks ago. i may go back and buy it this week. i'd rather start with a 4cyl because it has less weight due to no power anything. power steering, power locks, power windows, most of the time no ac, nothing.

Should be fun...

keep the 4 eyes...

and **** bullits and fr500s and all that crap...

throw some slicks on her and some nasty drag wheels...

i agree about the wheels... lightweight drag wheels with slicks. i dont care for 4 eyes, i'd probably change them or get covers if it were mine.

4 eyes... they look good on a car w/ good paint and wheels and whatnot...

dont listen to floppy, he's a dork

oh yeah.. the 302 engine and the tranny were given to me for free :) my dad's boss is a BIG ford guy and he owns a repair/body shop and they have piles and piles of parts cars, especially fords. so he said i could have whatever engine/tranny i want :) I could've taken a 351.. but I'm going to start with the 302 and see how well I can build it and I may put the 351 in it next year

Right now the plans are to be all motor and see what it'll run, most likely it'll end up getting sprayed

3/22/06 -- roll cage was delivered today, set it up real quick to snap some pics.. i have to double check some rules books to make sure we set it up accordingly

NICE FLAG IN THE GA RODGE!

i have a flag that size in my room (minus the bike)

I asume yer gonna weld that in yerself...

lookin good... lookin good...

is that fox gonna be a drag only car?

lol the flag is my dad's.. he also loves harleys

yeah it's drag only :)

I'm lookin for a foxxer for the same purpose...

There is nothing more fun (IMO) then building an egine from the ground up on an old race....

I was waiting on Greg to chime in about the flag. I was gonna say something before he ever did but I didn't want to make a pointless post lol. But now I don't guess it is pointless. HA

well the deer beside it on the wall has a mullet wig on... pretty redneck if you ask me :)

looks nice down ther in kentucky... does yer pops have his own still too?

Thats bad ass I would LOVE to have a project like that

Unfortunately, no money, no time, and no place to store it.
