    9:02 This is the exact reason I haven’t replaced my heater core yet. If I’m pulling the dash, yanking the seats makes it easier to get around in there. If I pull the seats, I might as well recover them while they’re out. But if I’m recovering the seats, I have to pull the rear also. And while THEY are all out, (and now looking snazzy), I need new carpet. And since I have ALL that new stuff, (and since it’s already out), the dash pad needs replaced…. And so on. ….all for a heater core. 😂😂😂😂

I have the interior out so I might as well replace the convertible top. And while the top is stripped, I should paint the top frame. And since the interior is out and the top is off and the frame is off, why not re-spray the car…. 😂😂😂😂

    I really like fixing all of the little things on a car (loose parts, align panels, cleaning etc), and get everything working. That will definitely make a car run, drive and feel totally different. The $100 spent for an hour on the hoist before you buy a car can either make you want to either disregard it, give you some bargaining power, or make you feel even better about your potential purchase. Can't wait to see you work your magic on it!!!

    My only experience was with my buddy's brothers 1989 fox body LX hatchback 5 speed when they bought it new (the brothers were twins). Back then it seemed like the fastest, most precise car I could have imagined at just 16 years old. I almost hate to drive one again just to not tarnish the memory I have about how great the car was. I have driven several IROC's, back then and since, and to think my friends car whooped their butts is a great memory. It was THE car when I was in high school.

    O2 sensors unplugged hmmm. Bought my 91 convertible in the winter when the air temperature did not get above freezing for a week. Unusual to find a deal this time of year on a convertible. Well the reason for selling was the car overheated while driving when the air temp went up! It was fine sitting still but not driving. Looking for the cause I noticed the fan had been changed out to one of those aluminum flex fans. Knowing these engines have reverse rotation fans I felt around and yep the air was blowing the wrong way! Didn't overheat when parked. Put the factory stuff back on and all good.

    So maybe some perspective from my seat as someone who recently installed a manual rack (FR) in my 91 lx vert 5.0. OE rack was shot replacements in my area are all reproductions and you take a gamble with the seals leaking over time in those. For me, it is less maintenance, cleaner in the engine bay, adds clearance, and frees a little weight. Yes power steering would be ‘easier’ to live with in my experience but the manual rack isn’t that bad. Obviously only at low speed really. Wouldn’t let my lady drive it but it keeps me in shape. This is on a weekend car. Plans to eventually add an EPS module since it’s been done by plenty in the past. Maybe that was the idea here. Just a thought!

    Just my 2 cents....it already has a manual rack. Do the electric power steering upgrade! No hoses, no fluids ,cleaner engine compartment and no parasitic power loss. All wins in my opinion. Power steering without the noisy Ford power steering pump. And the rack can remain. No alignment due to replacing the rack as well. Great project car 👍

    The 3 wheeler def got my attention. Appears mint! About that lean on the car...my fox was bought new by my dad and just driven for years. No mods. Anyway... Why he never looked into it I don't know, but since day 1 from the lot new in '90, it's had that same lean to the left....Ive acquired the car and I want it fixed. I remember asking him many times even in my teens what was up with it when it was new!😂 Now I'm in my 40s. What's up with a lean like that from the factory??❓

    Great video 👍 I do scratch my head at the mods done to some of these, all due respect to the owner who did them. Having read MM&FF from the early 90s to the mid 2000s among many other mags...I always assumed the progression was the 10 minute tune up, then other basics like good frame connectors, rear gears, a good shifter and exhaust. Obviously a person can do whatever they want but I don't think I've ever seen one with stock 3.08 gears, no frame connectors but fancy seats,a cam and Cobra intake swap. Just my humble opinion and thoughts 🤘

    i have one of their issues explaining the 20 things not to do to your Fox, while the two front cover cars had 'em (like lowering too much). i agree, a Fox with a manual steering rack isn't really "average" unless it's been gutting for the race track. or maybe it's a "regional" thing.

    @alertgasper 🤣Funny that you mentioned 2 mods I have that aren't average... lowered too much and a manual rack. It is just a no interior weekend toy though. You can do whatever you want with these cars, they made millions of them and are worthless on the market unless it's a Saleen or special model like 93 Cobra or some such.

    @@danfriesen4417 i agree with you except on the "worthless" point. compared to other Foxbodies (t birds, fairmonts, etc) they'll bring in a pretty penny unless you know where to look (like, for example, a local track where notch mustangs race with the OHC 4 banger. they're stripped down, but for the person who wants a stripped car with a cage looking to LS swap, or who wants a slick looking notch with smoked head-and-tailights and a custom interior, it may be an affordable beginning). but yeah, these things can be either a drag queen or a roundy-race king. that power-to-weight ratio is great, and the suspension design is still useful, even though it was meant for the Fairmont. better than buying an older mustang and trying to ditch the entire rear leaf springs from the era of horse drawn carriages to put in a custom 4 link or IRS. The foxes will take an OEM IRS from cobras or SC thunderbirds without too much fussin' and fabricatin'.

    @alertgasper I hear ya, I mean..they are worth more than the other fox platform cars. And the power to weight is nice when you start adding a bit of power. Mine is 2700 lbs no driver and makes the 300 hp feel like 500 in a heavy car. I'll need lighter wheels, aluminum heads and a Tubular K member to get closer to 2500 pounds

    @@danfriesen4417 we may never again have 4 wheeled passenger cars that light, with all the push for safety equipment and the customers' desires to have all their techno goodies. the less weight, the less money to spend on braking, handling, and performance. and as you know, the aluminum heads and tube K only help the car. the better a cylinder head flows, the less boost is needed to make a particular power number from the engine, and that can help one run on pump gas so the mustang is cheaper to operate. the K member can shift the wheelbase an inch longer, or can use an even better front suspension design or make space for an engine swap, so they aren't necessary evils but benefits.

    Man, that car is making me nauseous just thinking about how terrible it drives...I had these cars back in the day when they were new and it's not like they were amazing then, they were cheap and fun but honestly pretty crappy cars overall...most of them have not aged well and look, drive, perform like absolute sht...the only Fox Mustangs I would even consider owning now are super low mile(and at least 90% stock, preferably unmodified) LX 5.0 coupes, a 1989-1993 Saleen, or a 1993 Cobra but even though I can afford the $40k-$50k-$60k and up prices those cars brings they just are seriously not worth it to me. I'd much rather spend that same money and have a 2003-2004 Cobra, a 2002-2004 Saleen, or a 2005-2008 Saleen or a 2011-2012 GT500.
