funny you post this… my friend recently bought a 1988 fox vert to cruise over the summer while he fixed some things on his 99 GT. He paid $2500 for it off some dude out in springville. It is a complete pile of shit. All you are asking for here is more problems.
here are some options you should consider…
A.) Finish up the car, and use the good weather as motivation to get it done
B.) give up, swap me your 5.0 for my accord and cruise in that (it has a sunroof and a 5sp) :headbang:
or
C.) Get rid of everything, buy an Ls1 with t tops and enjoy
