Thanks man! I appreciate the positive feedback and your insight on one of the important fox body questions, lol. Your point is well noted. I have been sticking to a fairly frugal budget as far as parts go, but that doesn’t account for time spent in the garage I suppose. I do try to look at the whole thing as a great learning experience (that truthfully I wish I would have gone through at a younger age).Cool thread.
Thanks for taking the time to document the work you're doing. I can't tell you how many times I've relied on some bodies video to figure out a fix.
The work you're doing goes to show why the value of an older Fox in good condition commands so much money. The time and money it takes to rebuild/restore one can end up costing more than just ponying up for a nice one.
Also never knew about the chocolate fox show and I don't live very far from there. So thanks to the poster that mentioned that.
I've got a teal 93' Cobra that's bone stock with 15k miles on it, an 89' Red GT that's also bone stock (same turbine wheels as your car) with 138k miles and an 88' that's been a road race car since brand new. Love them Foxes!
Man....of course I love the 93 but the red GT looks mint!I can tell you this. If you're able to make the time and do a project like this, you'll be that much more proud every time someone comments to you about how cool your car is. Not to mention everything you'll learn along the way. Plus documenting everything the way you are you'll have pictures and videos to remember everything. I'm always in a rush and never take pictures of anything. Can't tell you how many times I wished I'd have taken pictures of projects I've done.
Now that we're back to work full time after the shut down my projects have come to a halt again. In fact I just sold a Coyote motor that I was planning on using for a swap in one of my Mustangs.
Now on the down side a project is never done..... You'll always continue to find more things that you need, well want, to do.
The 93' Teal Cobra is one of my favorite Mustangs. I sold those cars when they were new and loved them back then. Just never spent the money to buy one.
Had time during the Covid shut down so I went through all of my mustangs. Took a picture of a few of them when they were out of the garage.

Part 2 of my brake master cylinder saga is up on my YouTube channel:
After making the video, I managed to replace the front left brake line with the part that came in the MM kit I got a while back.
I got it pretty secure on the brake/wheel side and it seems there's enough flexibility that I should be able to get it lined up with the new MC when I install it. I went ahead and ordered the proportioning valve eliminator kit from LMR. Probably won't be here until the weekend but I'm hoping I can make everything fit/work between that and the new front left brake line. Fingers crossed.

The molding adhesive eraser tool arrived this weekend. I definitely should have picked this thing up sooner.

I used it to remove some more of the adhesive from the body molding stripe area. I had largely ignored the rear bumper, which I assume will eventually need to be replaced but since I don't know if that will happen any time soon, I do at least want to clean it up and do the new red stripe soon, all around the car.

My gaskets also arrived (intake manifold, EGR spacer to intake) and I already have the valve cover gaskets but I think I'd like to get the brakes done and drive the car for at least a few days before tackling the gaskets and then working on the rest of the oil leaks.
