What did you do to your foxbody mustang today?

Same here. I pulled the front wheels off convinced I had a bad ball joint by the noise. Took the end links off and I could move the sway bar up and down a few inches with just my thumb and index finger, and there was the noise.

I'm not a fan of the aftermarket cold air systems, they just don't look right and I don't think they do much.

Yeah I hate that bbk. It was on the car when I bought it. I purchased a used TB and EGR spacer. I just worry about having to reset the base idle.

It is fine now, but I don't need a bbk 70mm TB on a basically stock car.

Already looking better in my opinion. The EGR spacer is given me some trouble. Doesn't want to budge.I need to grab some stuff from the shop, and also look for my new TPS sensor....I can't remember where it is....

Rear wheels installed. I wasn't happy where they sat with the Fox-lenght 5-lug axles, so I swapped to 94-98 SN95 axles and the standard cobra disk brackets. Pushed the rear wheels out far enough where I think it's perfect now.

18x9 all around. 245/40/18 front, 265/40/18 rear. Where the rear wheel sits now, i feel i could have gone 275 or even 285. Next time.

I'm on the home stretch with this car. A couple more minor projects and then i'm gonna throw in the towel and call it done and just clean and cruise. Hoping I can wrap those up over the winter.

Got the gaskets and finished it up.

Looks like the gauges have slipped back, and the back light lamps are hitting the face of the gauge.

LOL @ above reply... that was my exact reaction too! In all the years of owning Fox Mustangs and working on them, I've never seen that - ever!

I'd say same thing, that the gauge overlay has delaminated causing the visual appearance we are seeing with the back lights.

I'd just source a new (used) cluster, there's always some listed on the Mustang forums and eBay.

Just dropped off the fox to get the rear exhaust done. With the MM panhard bar the exhaust tailpipes need to reworked. I'll post a pic when it's done.

Also just got my recaro seats in. But need the brackets to mount them which is another 700 buck's kinda expensive to me just for brackets.

That is the worst part. After i got my Recaros all set and started looking for brackets and sliders, it was a 2nd round of sticker shock.


And then folks wonder why these seats sell for $2k+ on the marketplace in good shape with brackets.

Took it to a car show.

Well I got my seat bracket in just waiting on the sliders and they don't even show shipped yet. Was trying to have them in for car's and coffee this weekend. On a side don't order crap from Vivid racing. Unless you wanna be waiting weeks for simple items that they supposedly have in stock.

Adjusted the coil-overs on my suspension and readjusted camber for these wheels to tuck a bit better on bumps. First real drive without hitting up front. Actually quite impressed how these fit.

Did a nice cruise this labor day weekend. Car has really come together well. Engine is running good. Suspension is tight, handles like a go kart, stops on a dime and looks sharp. My favoritie feature by far is the ice cold R12-filled AC. This car may have the best AC out of my entire fleet.
