>electric fan not working
He would of figured this out after cooking it first
>carb needs tuning

Can you do these things? can you restore this car to a satisfactory level? Will you enjoy the end result? Can you afford to fix the car? how often can you buy parts for it?

If you swap an aero Mustang front end onto it, someone will find you and murder you and your entire family

Get an 87-93 fox, don't fuck around with the earlier ones.

Capris are the sexiest foxes, put a 5.0 in it.
if you have a garage to work on it and your father has the tools, do it.
The worst that can happen is that you end up with too much of a handful and you dump it to another fool.
i was here in the last thread btw
My cousins just finished restoring an '88 Chevy Monza Spyder. Its ugly but I love it.
I;m going to guess some of the Fox Body general are in here.
OP just post this in the foxbody general.
>from the anon last night that told you these were foxbody, and sold in the US, and not just some obscure Canadaland ford sold for a year or two.

True
Assume literally everything is broken, but it's a fox so it's good for like $700.
That's not a turbo...
Somebody assploded it and swapped and n/a 2.3 in. But thats good. Good excuse for an efi 2.3t easy to make 300whp with them. Do it
