After selling my 93 integra, I started looking for another cheap autox project car. I kinda wanted to try something RWD this time around. I bought this car for $475. It's a 2.3 automatic. I'll be sticking with the 2.3, but I already have everything except a flywheel and clutch cable to convert it over to a 5-speed. I've always liked the looks of these cars, just not the mentality of a lot of people that drive them.

This is being built to autox on a tight budget. Plans are a cheap paint job, and brake/suspension upgrades. The V8 equipped mustangs had a better braking system, so I'll be souring these parts from the junkyard. A cheap set of subframe connectors to help the notoriously weak frame in the twisties. After that, a decent set of tires and I'll probably call it quits.

What a monster.

 

Very cool, you also can swap on SN parts from the brakes and suspension

Best of luck that 2.3 is well anemic at best. Always fun to see a fox turn though

 

I think you could throw on a 16v head from a volvo, that would be pretty sweet.

 

Not the first car I would choose for auto-x.

 

Cool project. There are a lot of fox-body Mustangs that are super competitive in auto-x. I used to auto-x in Milwaukee, WI with a monster Mustang.

 

Good luck!

 

damn good deal...looks like you've got youre work cut out for you

 

lol so you signed up on here AFTER you sold the Honda? lol GL with that project man!

 

There's an older Mustang in my region that has been running for as long as I can remember. It's a very fast car and the driver(s) are great as well.

2 events ago, coming out of a corner-



Good luck, I'm sure you'll have fun!

 

^ That's a dope picture.

 

Hopefully sometime in mid-late july I'll have an entire 4 lug 5.0 brake set-up and 16x8 roh wheels to sell if you're interested.

 

if you are allowed to, get the torque boxes welded too, or they will eventually rip out. and keep an eye on the floorpan at the bend in front of the back seat. I've never seen it, but I hear they start to split there.
