I got to drive the car out of the garage today felt good to see it out of the TOMB lol. Still need to bleed the brakes gonna do that this weekend. Also put the front end back on it, its still a total of 3 different colors but oh well thats the easy part for me. Gonna get some new sway bar links tomorrow, and hustling some parts just about got enough to pay for the tuning software, compliments of OEM parts lol.

UPDATE- Got the sway bar links on and bled the brakes drove up the road about a hundred feet lol need to adjust on the clutch cable, its right off the floor and i hate that. Also put the rest of my interior back in just gotta cut the new dash and fit it and that should finish the inside up for now.

Yeah it felt good but i wanted to keep going down the road lol, maybe in a week or so im in no rush now, but it took me all day yesterday to put upper and lower controls arms in, I HATE RUSTY BOLTS lol. I also dropped the back about an inch gonna see if that looks better on it. Got my 3650 crossmember and the body mounts need to put it in now. Just the small stuff will keep a man busy working lol. Im thinking of painting my car White instead of the Grabber Blue, I always liked the white coupes with a nice set of wheels and satin black trim. This is EXACTLY what my car would look like if i decide to go white, simple clean looking coupe. I really dig it alot. Mine DOES NOT have the Porno red interior though LOL

Really like the Redfire color too, also calypso, also emerald and forest green, but i am for sure gonna change the color i want something with metallic in it. So the Grabber Blue is out lol. Maybe a white with pearls or metallic. Just want a great looking clean look to the car, i thought i wanted a flashy PJ but i have changed my mind for sure lol. Please give your thoughts and opinions.

Just ordered me some led's for the side mirrors, gonna mount them in behind the glass and wire into my signals. I like the look of those mirrors but they dont make them for a fox, so i will make my own lol. My moto is " If they dont make, make it yourself " lol. Be awhile getting here coming from China, hopefully they work after shipping lol.

Got the new dash cut and installed today, still need to dye some parts but atleast the new dash is in its final resting place. I put a newer dash in with out the dash clock i have it laying on top in one of the pics i may cut a hole and install it, unsure yet but leaning towards it i like the dash clock. Here are some pics.

I got my car mostly wired yesterday for the LED mirrors i making, some may think it is ricer looking but there is a purpose behind it. When i wired in the tail lights the SN95 harness has dual bulbs for the turn signals the fox DOESN'T so i have a real fast blinking like a bulb was blowed. I have never seen a set of LED mirrors for a fox so i thought it would add to the " WHAT THE HECK " factor on the car. As soon as the get here i will install and share the pics, hopefully they will be here today.

Well my LED's finally came in and i got them installed. here is a video, still have the fast blinking going on with the turns but not with the hazards on. Im gonna look for some type of solution, i can fix it but i have to leave a bulb dangling in the trunk of the car not to fond of that so we will see what i can find. Here is the finished product though. Enjoy!!!!!!

I still have not tuned it but today i pull it out of the garage and i see what appears to be oil on the ground. I changed the power steering line yesterday so i thought maybe it was from it. I am getting this nasty watery oil looking crap through the exhaust. Cracked head, blown head gaskets, dont know at this point. I guess a compression check is the next thing on the list. If it wasn't for bad luck i would not have any luck.

What does the oil in the pan look like?
