[rob03svt06]

found this on craigs list. its a 89 coupe, 2.3 I4. picked up for $1,600. Thanks for looking Enjoy

Loaded up going to new home.

Get it home, go to put fuel in it, and theres a leak... come to find out the the sending unit was bad so i replaced that and the broken "o" ring that was causing leak

Found the 6in Outlaw hood on craigs list for $50

Gibbs Race Car's in Mooresville NC installed the hood, the zuse fasteners look much cleaner then 2 hood pins.

Added smoked headlights.

Out with the ugly "Red" interior...

In with Black and Gray,

Made my own rear sear delete. Turned out really nice.

Added a set of Weld's

Im going this Sat to pick up a 88 Turbo Coupe 2.3 engine. other future mods include,,, window tint, roll cage, mini tub, 5 lug conversion, and new paint.

Thanks again, comments welcome

Nice ride, looks like its being treated very well!

It really makes me miss my 90 GT with a 5 speed and black interior. I always hated the red as well!

That's a hell of a good looking fox! I'd dd the shit out of it. Gibbs does good work he did the cage in my camaro.

 

[SteelyBuns]

Why are you putting a roll cage in your 4cyl DD? You plan on racing it?

That is one mean looking stock 4cyl lol.

you should take it to the track and run it as is just for shits n giggles

thing looks great. that was quite a transformation you pulled off there :beer:

 

[Kellyo77]

Great transformation! I gotta agree a little about the Welds. Kinda played out.
But, work with what you got!

I think there are a few little tricks you can do to the 4 banger to make them run well. Should be fun!

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Well done.:beer:

 

[Allen2001GT]

Great looking car! You've made some great changes so far.

Hoods a little much for me, but the car looks great!

This. Sounds like a fun project none-the-less.

 

[NateV8]

Nice! I think it would look better with a stock, or smaller cowl hood though.
