The 87 Fox GT Project.

Well, this has been planned for quite a while, but I’ve finally decided to start slowly but surely working on my 1987 Mustang GT fox body. It’s in rough shape now, but solid enough for me to be able to strip it down and start from the ground up and do what I need to do.

I figure I will update this once in a while with more details when I feel up to it, and the occasional picture or two of certain aspects of the build. :wink:

This car has a lot of sentimental value to me, and this build will get the absolute best of everything in every respect. :slight_smile:

I have placed no limitations on myself as far as a budget or time is concerned, my only acceptable end goal is to build the caliber of car that I promised my best friend I would build when I was a kid. This car wont be out anytime soon, but when its done, it’s going to make some noise.

On to the pics. I’ve got a long way to go. Phase 1 is a complete, and I do mean complete tear down of the car to its bare shell. Ive just started to do a little bit of this, as you will see in the pics.

More to come, when I feel like posting it. :smiley:

Awesome, dude :tup:

That red interior is hot! hot! hot!

Saw her today in person… Id like to see it again when its all done… Ill have to snap a pic when I get the sideskirts on my 5.0…

lol, I am pretty positive at this point I am going to do an 04 cobra interior in it, same colors i had in my Cobra. :smiley:

Sure thing man, its gonna be a while though. Good luck with yours.

That’s what i was planning on my notch :tup:

I wanna see this baby when its done too.

PM me what kinda motor and suspension ur gonna run if ur not :snky:

LT1 swap :tspry:

It will be a beauty once again. :tup:

Ruh roh, someone’s been sniffing too much race gas again :lol: I want the car to be fast, why would I put an LT1 in it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Honestly, at this point I am not positive what motor/tranny is going to go in the car, that is so far out its not even a concern right now. :bloated:

Right now I am focused on cleaning and solidifying the core for whats to come after. :tup:

:tup:

this makes you so much hotter now…:wink:

awesome though…:tup:

I must admit when I saw the title of the thread I figured this was gonna be like a kitchen remodel or like “hey check out my new arm chair cause i’m getting old and I don’t want to go fast anymore”

You know like half of this board.

:tup: to you. For fucking doing something. And not being cheap.

Good luck sir.

That red interior looks like a stick of cinnamon gum.

wow dood…I know the whole story and its awesome you are following through on it.

This reminds me of sooo 10 years ago we we rolled mad deep at the como park. I should scan some of those old pics for NYIRP and como park.

I should hunt down my old blue gt and rock it old schools :slight_smile:

GL mang

Gotta love the porno red interior ha.

Im sure you will make it clean and mean, its gonna take alot of free time though which I doubt you have too much of.

cool!

you should do a turbo’d 5.0. sewiously /homestarrunner

I think for a street car, you would have alot of fun with a n/a stroked 302 motor.

Thats what I would build for a fox.

should be a fun car when all is said and done :snky:

:word:

this baby is gonna be sick

ughhh ive seen it done and man is it ever sexy!

nice Fox, can’t wait to see it run. know it will be siiiiiqqqqq

Sweet project. Perhaps a new cobra motor in their would be the hotness!?

kenne bell’d 408 :tspry:
