Few More Pictures Ive Found Just for the Record of the Color

the car looks really clean. I have a 92 calypso green fox. I do not think the color will help or hurt you. I think the auto may hurt you . In the end it is whether the car excites you!!!

BTW can I ask the HP and price?

 

[lxsteed]

Thats awesome, I'd pick that up.

That is a rare color combo , i had a friend in the 90's that had a hatchback that colpr. I would get it if you had the space.

 

[blubyu90]

me personally would pick it up. for some reason i love rare or ugly colors on foxbodys. my favorite color for a fox is mimosa/tropical yellow. i had one and sold it and regret it so much. this color is kind of similar to trop yellow. i like it. If is a nice car and reasonable price, why not?

 

[jd-hart]

We had a 89 GT with the tan interior, the interior is really rare. Cool color combo. I have only seen that color on a Capri. Nice car.

Does that mimosa color look kind of like faded yellow? I remember seeing a convertible that color many many moons ago the I loved

Thanks Guys I picked it up about two weeks ago, Making minor changes to it to fit my taste

Heres the seats I put in:

and the wheels are on the way. Little photshop.

 

[delvin.a]

Very nice indeed. I was kinda hoping you had planned on some '93 Cobra R wheels. Are those Recaro seats? Looks good, well except that billet e-brake handle but to each his own.

Beautiful car :beer:

Next Phase I guess will be Scott Rod Fab Panels Installed

Off with the Dog House, Getting ready for Engine bay work.

Also Hid Wires.

Few updates on my Little Sand Beige Coupe.......

I used the Scott Rod Panels

Marked the area off for grinding, so we would have a nice solid weld. For those wandering we only found it necessary to clearance the small spot you see with the paint missing in the next photo. Mark only had to hammer it in some, no 5lb hammer stuff just minor. Other than that the fit was Great. I do know that I tried them on the white car before it left and found out that on an Air Bag car the front of the Scott Rod Aprons will have to be trimmed.....

Painted the Scott Rod Panels with some primer on the back...should help with Rust........

Hood awaiting Paint:

Welding away:

Passenger Side was fun........It will have the Hole cut for the Power Pipe....very hard to determine with out the engine.

The hole looks kinda of large but with the trim we have to go around it. I think it will be just fine. Also welded up the Top of the Radiator support for a clean look.

Car is looking great, would you mind sharing specs on the wheels you have installed, size offset, backspacing, etc? They look great on the car, I love the tuck in the rears!
