I had a 92 gt fox body 5.0 but it was a auto, actually was given to me by my dad who got it used in the early 2000s and seen it on one of those early Saturday morning used car shows LOL had 80k miles no rust (that we could see, was Def underneath that plastic cladding), was a fun car, and what's amazing is that when I turned 16 and got my license he gave it to me as my FIRST CAR! Lol what a fun first car, they were only rated at 225hp and 300lbs of torque. Not sure if they were under rated but it definitely got beat on. Held up pretty well, blew the steering rack and eventually the trans went. I drove it for a while with the bad trans making running/grinding noises the entire time until it wouldn't drive anymore. Ended up sitting for some years until we needed the garage space and it got sold as is for 2k. Bad trans, wouldn't crank due to starter relay blowing, no exhaust (all rotted away from Wisconsin winters) sure it needed many other things as well.

Lots of nice fox bodies around. I have two just as nice as that one. My first car is a 92 gt I bought in 1997. My other one is a teal 1993 Cobra.

You guys make watching these videos fantastic. Bringing these older cars back to life is just great to watch. Favorite channel on KZread now.

The 2 step on the horn button is amazing, love love love that.

Glad to hear the Rolls is still on the project list. Love that build.

One million wires need to be soldered. JR: "Let's go!"

Run headlights through a set of relays controlled with dash switch. Power direct from battery through a fuse block to relays. Great power and cool switch.

If I got to work on the Mustangs with Joshs and Watch JR Goes I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and puff on the Cannabis Cigar and get all schmoked up.

You need to relay mod the headlights, doesn't matter what kinda lights you have if all the power runs through the switch. It's really easy to do; you unpin the sockets. Run 12v power to the relay. from battery. Relay power(trigger wire) from switch to turn on lo and or hi beam. Ground wire to relay ground. And socket ground. The mod let's the switch be a switch to turn on the lights, which get all their power from the battery instead of the switch having to support all the power with the undersized wiring for the job. You'll keep burning out switches otherwise, even with running bigger wiring, since that increases the current. I did the mod with my crown vic because they have a similar problem and used two relays for lo beam and two relays for hibeam for safty and redundancy, so I didn't lose all light if a relay burnt out.

JR's smile at 5:00 tells EVERYTHING about that car. I've always loved the Foxbody... but they HAVE to have the wing to look the best.

For some reason I picture Josh as a mafia hitman and he works on cars to keep his temper under control. Considering we haven’t seen Gabe in while, I think we know who his last victim was.

Can someone please explain what is a 2 step and what it's purpose? I don't understand.

Makes me miss my 85 5.0. I ordered it from the factory just the way I wanted it. It was a beast. Drove it for years.

Heck YES! A WatchJRGo video for my Friday night!

You need to wire up the 2 step to the "Kill em All" switch. (Kills all the lights outside the car)

I had to do the same thing with my Ignition wiring however my connections inside the harness was OK the plastic wasn't OK so I just unpinned the connection from the new and and repinned it with my old wires, worked out good, no green corrosion of death.

That dash looks really cool at night, like an old cockpit or something

Options for power steering pump/alternator.. etc brand new, rebuilt, used - pulling from a scrapyard, or rebuilding. Power steering: seal kit ($20), snap ring and take the opportunity to replace hoses.

I have a fox Mustang convertible I need to sell. Would love to see someone like these guys get it and turn it into a real performance car.

I always turn the steering wheel lock to lock multiple times and top off the steering fluid as needed before I start the car.

Amazing fox body!

Nice Fox Body!

Sweeet Foxbody! sounds great!

Going to drag the mustang with the rolls?

So... Let me give you a little pro-tip. The wires on those new connectors are that length, so you can stagger your electrical connections apart an inch and a half to 2-inch. So you won't have to worry about electrical interference and current jumping from one side of joint to the other. And it will fit back in the wiring loom properly. Don't be afraid to cut into that Loom. It's only cheap conduit. Or remove parts, to get to the areas that you need to reach. The book gives you plenty of time to do the job properly . The trick is to make it look more like, you were never there. And less like, a crime scene. Your headlamp switch gets hot, because the ignition is rolling back to its proper setting, it's drawing current from two sources. Replace ignition cylinder, with the same type of key as the one that came from the factory. If it was a silver key, use a silver key. If it was a black key. Use the black key I just went through all of this with an 88 Fox T-Bird. The fusible links in those cars rot out over time as well. So do the ground wires. I also replaced my power and ground from the battery, with O cable. And added a body to engine ground. This helped stabilize the voltage coming out of the regulator. This helps direct more energy towards the ignition, then to the areas that don't require as much.

What are the modifications to the foxbody? Sounds really really good!

:D Thanks for the update on the Rolls. I wish you the best of luck with that car. :-)

I had a 1985 Mustang. I wanted the SVO version but the insurance was more a month than the payment. I used to store my Mustang in the winter. I ended up trading it for a Ford Ranger.

John, If i heard you correctly, you plan on having "Rolls When Pushed" ready for C&C Bradenton (April 4th) You should pretend that the event is March 24th. That way you can have it Fixed, Tested, Broken again and Fixed again plus some seat time under you by the time April 4th is here. I wanna see that Bad Momma Jamma "Roll Smoke"

Stang is sick

Nice video, as always :)

Beautiful Fox. I have an '89 GT myself. Almost burned to the ground because of that headlight switch.

I really hope you put a proper locker in the new RR rear end instead of welding the dif again.

where did you get the connectors? did the dash lights come back on? thanks

I can't wait to get a better look at his trailblazer SS not many of those around !!!!

sick fox body!

Thats a clean fox.

Watch JR Grow a Mullet. Just throwing this idea out there.

I would install a 5 point harness on the passenger side before your next ride JR. I imagine the backseat is comfortable but being thrown around back there by "Steve McQueen" is a bad way to go down the road. Unless your supposed to be back there to inspect the interior?

JR Check with Moser Engineering for the rear end. I'm sure they wouldn't mind having their name on that bad ass Rolly

the "fix stang" ?

Do you plan on taking the rolls to LS fest?

Do love a Foxbody

My fox fought fire right there but I saved it and put in a new harness

Wow a real car this time

As long as you throw some lower gears in the RS/RR... I really felt bad for you guys after all that great work! looks like a rear-end swap and hit the drive line shop ?

My man with the real requests

On old Mopars all the current goes through the small wires into the amp guage. A bunch goes through the headlight switch when they are on, and the dimmer switch on the floor gets cooked on the low beam setting between the amperage and always get wet and corroded. Sounds like Ford has done similar stupid stuff. I have resoldered and beefed up the flimsy pins with tiny trim nails soldered in place. Had to do similar to my 95 Neon and my 78 van needs all the connectors and pins redone too. Welcome to dealing with older stuff that wasn't designed to last 30 or 40 years or more.

Isn't a lot of Rolls-Royce Parts similar to BMWs so wouldn't a BMW rear end potentially work. Also could you just replace the centre section of the rear end since I do believe you mentioned it has independent suspension.

BMW Rolls Royces came much, much later the JR's Wraith II. Everything on his is Rolls Royce specific. It's a hell of a conversion that looks like an old Roller from the outside (in that it shows its age) but is nothing like an old Roller in the drive train and brakes department. Love it for being that way.
