Newbie in Alabama
Hey Folks -
I just purchased my second fox body (my first was an 85 Capri with a 5.0). My "new" one is a 93 Triple White Fox. It's in pretty good shape for a 15 year old car with 119k miles. It's stock with the exception of an aftermarket exhaust (no cats), headers, 3.73 rear end, cold air intake, and a JVC cass deck with a 10 disc changer in the trunk. The wheels were recently (within the last few years) powder coated.
It needs the timing adjusted, front end alignment, and possible u-joints. It may need new shocks/struts - it rides pretty rough but then again I haven't driven a car this old in a long time.
For the most part, it's been garage kept since new so the interior and exterior are in good shape - just slightly aged. From twenty feet away it looks awesome.
I'm the third owner. I paid $4000 for it. I'm not sure if that's a good deal but I've wanted one for a long time (actually since 93).
The guys at work are giving me a hard time - calling me Vanilla Ice and singing, "roll'n in my 5.0 with the rag top down so my hair can blow..." I guess it's not as bad as being called "Joe Dirt" - that's what they call the guy that drives a 1990 Camaro with an LT1 motor. They're just jealous!
Talk to you later!

Here's an update on my mustang - the transmission crapped out while I was doing 75mph on I65. Anybody have any suggestions on a fix? Remanufactured or a new one?
What brand did you use? IT also makes the transmission last longer right?
I used the Trans Go AOD-HP kit. Yes, the transmission will last much better with it.
