Okay, okay, I guess ill give it one more shot at owning a hatch car I like. Through a rare twisted screwed up trade I ended up with fellow board member, co-worker, and good friend "gt90_hatch"'s car. To make along story short my dad had a Nascar F150 he wanted for a dd, my dad has wanted my convertable since the day I got it, and cash talks with me. So through some trading Jeremy(gt90_hatch) ended up with the nascar truck, I got his car and some cash, and my dad got my convertable(:sad1: didn't really wanna see it go but its not like I can't drive it anytime I want). Im not sure which road I wanna go down, I was thinking Saleen clone, but now im not so sure I wanna go to the trouble so now Im thinking just piece all the best parts of the different foxes together and run with it. Its gonna be seeing some MAJOR changes in the next few weeks so stay tuned! Maybe Ill actually like this hatch!!:lol1:

Bought a set of regular head lights for it and some cobra/svo lenses for the taillights. It will be getting a set of chrome 93 Cobra wheels pretty soon too. As well as a little different exhaust set up and some 4.10's:drool:

Not as of right now. If I were to decide to go with a carb setup I would but that is doubtful.

I know the headlights are for sale. The taillights I am just going to swap the lenses on so you would have to use your old lights and just swap the leneses. Ill give you first shot when I get them off.

Ok well let me know cause i am about to do a saleen clone and i would really like it if i could have that intake, if you were interested i have a edelbrock performer intake that they dont make anymore, and its in superb condition and i would be willing to trade you that plus cash possibly.

Ok man just let me know. Cause the only reason im wanting to trade is because im doing my car saleen, cause the intake i have is in superb condition.:thumbsup1: But im nit picky and a perfectionist and especially about my car and if im doing saleen i want it all saleen. Im sure you can understand. But the perfomer rpm would go great with your setup and vice versa. So just let me know or ill get back to you!

Did a little work today and last night. The car was white at one time and someone didn't do all the jams when they painted it. It was bugging the **** out of me so I started on them. I did the back hatch today. Gonna do the rest next week. This is the worst one the rest are mostly black. I also did some touching up. The white showing through was pissing me off:yes1:

I know. I mean I liked the smoke ones but they sucked at night, and you just can't beat a clean look on a foxbody. Leading to why I am going to the stock hood!!



Got her aligned today. It was over an inch off:lol1: Man it drives like a new car. Got a sway bar mount broke though, guess its time to upgrade:yes1:

Started the "faleen" process tonight. Gonna have to get the fenders repainted there was no black paint behind the 5.0 emblems but I did the best I could with what I had to work with considering I had to have it done by saturday. Got my high dollar saleen shift knob on too. Still got some more goodies coming. Hopefully gonna pull the trigger on a 200mph saleen speedo in a day or two.

Looking good Jeff.:thumbsup1:

Is there a reason you didn't put the headlight housing seals in?

It would elimanate the gap, between the headlight and hood.

Hadn't done much to her lately but I got a new set of black carpet for christmas as well as some quarter window trip overlay pieces. Im putting the black jegs racing seats out of my camaro in this when I install the carpet and the rear seat delete kit I already bought. Added a couple of stickers to her today though. Thanks KB for the Faleen sticker turned out great:thumbsup1:
