wow, this is looking good.. Keep them pics coming..
Got deep into it today, loved the trip to the pick and pull for the floor pans. Get up thoes picks Phill.
almost got fox stripped out....
We had to go to pick and pull and get a donor cowl panel for this little guy...plus next pic ill show my rear floor pans that are rusted out...the original owner was from michigan (road salt)..and it a convertible...im sure its been rained in a time or two...
taking engine and tranny out...
Did I understand from the pics that you are planning to use the back seat of the coupe in the vert?
Yep, you should see myers407 other builds... Awesome
Already did the test fit and in the Fox vert they will be a breeze to install. Will keep it posted as we go.
I'm looking forward to seeing how that works. I am planning on converting mine from 86 spec to 93 spec, but if it isn't a great deal more work, I have really nice black leather in the back of my 99 Cobra donor. I think the back seats are the fold down time, so that might present a different set of problems. Either way, it will be at least 6 months before I'm ready to tackle that part of the install.
That is correct Bill...It is almost an exact fit...have to drill 3 holes...
That's awesome news for me. Post up a link or two. I would love to use the stuff out of the Cobra, and if someone else has already done the detail work on the little bits and parts (seat belts trim, etc.) so much the better.
Bill is yours a vert? If so you will need the belts from a vert. They are made to come over the back of the seat. I am planning on having to fab some brackets but nothing major.
Yes, its an '86 Vert. I was looking on ebay and there is a guy that sells the brackets to mount the retractor, but I haven't seen if they are the same for a coupe and a vert. I'm putting in power windows as well and I've seen that they make it a tight fit for the front seat belt retractors, but haven't event tried to figure out the back ones yet. I still need to pick up the driver's side rear seat belt. I have the right side. I figure that will be the one of the later parts of the build.
Bill I can tell you that the coop and vert belt brackets are different. My doner was a vert and the Fox a hatch. Not even close but with a bit of thought and creative welding I'm sure it cna be done. Ill keep you updated as we go.
well the fox is down to just metal shell...time to start stuffing new parts from donor car on her...more pics to come...
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel like a dead beat, you guys get stuff done FAST its took me two years to get my car where it is. I need to get on the ball.
Don't take it personal, we just can't stop once we get going!
