My dad still has an 87' Hatchback. Stock. We drove it to Florida from Canada about 3 times. 4 people jam packed. It was awesome!

At this point in this cars life I would keep it Bone Stock. These were the best 7/8ths finished car ever built. We all know how far we could take them…However, this is too good an example to do much to it…my opinion. If I found one that was already modified I would go, GT-40 forged crate engine with a Vortech. A car that represents the history of what these cars were/are. But that’s me…

That car is a dream fox. My dream as i said in the live chat was a 89 fox because my stepbrother had 2 first one was a black 89 gt when i was 7 in 1992 and that shiny black paint and it even had the new car smell. He crashed that one and got a 89 gt vert red with the peanut colored top. That ome was super clean and had the styling bar which makes a vert look so much better and a cervinis ram air hood BOTH were auto and i only wanted stick. when i was 19 i got a red with grey bottom 1990 manual gt with 70k miles. I did every bolt on possible from rpm upper and lower intake 70mm throttle boddy egr spacer mass air sensor etc to mac headers bassani catless x pipe with edelbrock racing mufflers 3.73 rearend tube upper lower control arms. 275/30/zr17 toyo proxes wrapped around 9×17in blackchrome cobra wheels heads cam and so much more. i stored it during our wisconsin winters and that gave me time to build and add parts. well at 23 after all the sweat tears and money i worked my ass off for a supercharger and nitrous. I get to the storage in spring to put the supercharger on and my dream car was gone. IM 36 now and losing that still hurts today. being stored i didnt have insurance so being stolen it was a complete loss never found. Go figure my spine slowly ruined my life after that and ive never been able to buy another one. I bleed blue oval blood and it sucks being disabled not being able to get another one. i love my daughter and family but without another mustang my life will never feel complete before i die.

I've been restoring my wife's 89 GT convertible slowly for the past couple of years. It was her first car and sat in her parent's garage for 15 years not moving with all the fluids still in it, so needless to say it didn't start when I first got ahold of it. But with only 85k miles, all original everything and in really good shape all around it's been great to work on. The only problem is every time I feel like I'm only a couple parts away from having nothing else to replace, I find more stuff to add to the list. I just started installing the dreaded quarter window restoration kit a couple of hours ago. I haven't got to the "fun" part yet, but I think I'm prepared lol. I can't thank both of you guys and the rest of LMR enough for your guidance in all the different installation videos I've used along the way! There's no way I could do (or would even attempt) all these projects without them. UPDATE: Quarter window resto kit installed successfully! No real issues other than a couple of stubborn bolts and seat belts in different location than in the video, but nothing that requires rocket science to figure out. Either I'm really lucky or it was a lot easier than people are making it out to be! Thanks again!

Keep this series going! Topic ideas.. maybe oddball foxbody cars. Like the roush that had a twin turbo 351. And when you guys do mods to cars like suspension do a before and after. That can definitely work in this series. Wrench a bit. Drive. Eat. Drive some more.

I like this video too. Also I have a 88 notch back 4 cylinder 2.3L efi. I just turned 18 I replaced the fuel pump and sending unit. And I got it running, It will run for about 3 to 5 minutes then turn off, it starts back up as well but will do the same thing some times earlier. I was just wondering if you had and suggestions. Thank you I enjoy your videos I been watching them to learn more about the Fox Body Mustang.
