Drive it like you stole it. Because you pretty much did.

If everything works, time to clean up that rats nest wiring job in the compartment.

Great pick up!

Okay :P I just know some people might fib about stuff like that so I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to prove it. I thought it was really cheap as well, The guy had to sell because of his wife needing to get her car fixed(so he says) and he was asking 2k for it and I told him I had 1200 cash and could meet him 2 hours after we hung up so he took it.

That shitty wiring hurts my balls. Not bashing here, it isn't your work, and you got the car at a damn good price and you're bound to have some serious fun...but dat wiring doe!

I agree I do not like the tail lights at all and the previous owner purchased that hood; it is a carbon fiber hood he paid like 600 he said, whether that's true how much he paid is beyond me but I have a lot to work on with this car just going to do one step at a time


If he paid 600 for the fiberglass hood he's an idiot.

So, clearly this was rednecked together. Fixable. Good price for a rust free Fox. Interior needs work is an understatement, and it sits like a 4x4. Not to mention the electrical tape wiring, which would be my first fix.

Auto sucks, luckily T5's for these are cheap and plentiful.

Tails are painfully ugly.

Fuel pump isn't OEM style. Which I find odd, somebody would go through the trouble of rigging up another style fuel pump to work, on a carbed car. I would have just run a mechanical personally, but whatever. It works.

Extra tach seems super out of place. Firstly, theres already one there...Secondly it's an auto. Unless there's a stage 2 shift kit it's completely useless, and I doubt the 351 will be revving to 10k.

Keep an eye on the single core radiator.

And what are the 2 random gauges on the hood?

Other than that, good find for the price. When you start working on it, please do it right.
