Gentlemen,
As stated, another Canadian here trapped in my garage with my fox for the winter.
Currently working with a 85 5.0 100k (km) fox. My Dad was the second owner, and has passed the car on to me. Largely unmolested... minus 3.73's, edelbrock performer rpm intake, matching 650cfm carb, trickflow cam, hedman long tubes w/ 40 series and a custom (horrific) fabbed exhaust. It got a centreforce stage 3 clutch, B&M short throw shifter, smog pump removed.
All of this was in 2004/05, and now the valve covers leak, exhaust needs some work, water pump looks like it is toast (green granular looking dried crud near the water neck on the intake?), and of the biggest worry - I noticed some on/off throttle slop. Feels like it could be lash in the rear end . The u-joints are tight, I haven't looked at the engine mounts though. Suspension is all stock, and original as far as I can tell.
Some work to do mechanically - but she's in good shape otherwise.
