Hey everyone. Glad to be here and share the fox love.
About a month ago I picked up my 1986 T-Top Mustang GT. She starts and runs strong but there's a lot that needs to be replaced in various systems of the car. One thing at a time is the name of the game here. There'll be a Stage 1 where I bring it back to factory-ish level and then Stage 2 in a few years that will be more of a full overhaul/customization inside and out. Appearance in the end will be made of Factory/Saleen pieces and should be pretty mean looking with the paint/graphics concept I have.
I decided to document things the best I can and started a little build blog with my progress and general plans. Here's the link: 1986 T-Top Mustang GT Build Blog
A little more history. This is my second Mustang/Fox/Four Eye. My first was a 1979 2.3T Cobra. It was a project car and my first car. Below is the only photo (unfortunately) that I have of it. Canvas and cinder blocks were there because the hood was off and the windshield was smashed in a bit. Life is life and I ended up selling it. I always regretted never finishing it though and have been planning this build since then. I did try finding the car again without luck. I bought the 86 GT almost exactly 10 years after selling the 79 Cobra. Love the sharper muscle look of the 4 Eyes. The interior and front end of the Aero era just seemed too much like any other Ford to me.
Anyways. Here I go again Luckily this time I'm a bit wiser... I think....
