I'm looking right now but clean one's are up there already.
Yup, are you looking to buy another one? I don't want a auto, but might have to so the wife can drive it.

yeah I'm not looking for a coupe I would like a LX hatch.
Cool, I'm looking for a lx hatch or GT. Ideally, I'd like both one day. I can't get myself to buy a vert. Although, some are nice. It would be cool to have every fox body style.

If I bought another fox I’d want an 85-86 ASC McLaren Capri, or an 87-88 GT with t-tops. Obviously the holy grail for me would be a real 93 Cobra.

I'd like a 93 cobra as well. But man the prices have gone up.

I'm looking at some shops now, ideally a 40x60. Seen some 30x48. Not sure if that's big enough.

Had to replace the coolant reservoir. The top mounting piece broke. Reproduction piece, about 12 bucks shipped from mustangs unlimited.

I think at some point I'd like to install contour fan with a Dakota Digital fan controller.

Next up, replacing my worn out steering wheel. I have one on order.

You aren’t kidding they sure have.

If you can swing it the bigger the better. Especially if you plan on adding more to the stable down the road. A lot easier then thinking you have enough room and then need more room later.

Is the contour fan better? I always remember reading the Taurus or Mark VIII fans pulled some CFM.

Yes on the steering wheel!
I like the plug wires.
You know the rule of thumb on a shop right? Figure out how big you need it to be....then double it.

How did you mount the overflow tank against that fan?

Just a couple of bolts and washers.

People say they are good, but this Mark VIII fan does pull some serious air.

Yeah unfortunately I'll need a wheel with cruise control buttons. They don't make a reproduction non cruise control steering wheel right now. I ordered one up.

+1 on the shop. Originally, I planned on taking down my current 1 stall garage and putting up a 3 stall. The max in my town is 1000 sq ft if it's not attached to the house. So I think it makes more sense to build or find a pole barn around 40x60. And later down the road make a bigger garage.

You can get a multi car lift and build a 40x25 with a large opening door. That would maximize your car storage space, doesn't allow for storage of much else though.

Ideally I'd like enough room for at least 4-5 cars. Also a 4 post lift.

I received my new steering wheel off eBay, sold by LMR. It stated minor pin holes on back of steering wheel. I don't really notice any imperfections! Best 100 dollars I've spent in a long time. Normally these are about 200+ dollars.

I bought cruise control buttons to finish it off. Although my car doesn't have cruise control.

Old one still on the car.

That will look soooo much better. Will you put cruise on it?
Didn't plan on it. I'm not sure what's all involved. Would be nice though.

Wouldn’t think it would be too involved if you tracked the parts down cheap.
