Picked up my first notchback, looking forward to all the plans! First thing is taking spoiler off and 5-lug conversion with some new wheels

It does definitely look very clean and well taken care of. Hope the project completes without any hiccups at all. Should be fun!

Looks clean as hell! Given how popular and rare these are, I'd over-restore it and put it in a bubble for a couple years!

Nah, screw that, drive that bitch!

Nice, beautiful car!:beer:
Advice:
1. Five lug swap as you stated (for bigger better brakes/rims)
2. Ditch the T-5 and get your self a Tremec 5 speed or TKO600 5 speed or anything else besides the T-5..... Their great for low horse/torque cars but after 350/350 their weak and will give you nothing but problems.... Every Fox I and my family has owned we ripped them out as soon as the car gets to our shops! We sell them for pennies on the dollar to young guys who are just starting out and trying to get there rides going...
3. Electric Fans and cooler stat; saw your location is Florida, Im from Louisiana and if you sit in any traffic with this jem in the Florida heat she is gonna start to run hot on a OEM clutch/fan setup with the mods she has...
