What should I do with this?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just aquired another fox body. It is an 88 t-top 5.0L 5 spd. It runs and drives. The body is rusty but still could be saved. I have been doing rotisserie restos on these cars and have fixed rustier examples. The question is does anyone even want a t-top car? Sometimes I'll fix a rusty fox and someone will race it-needing the rust repaired for structual reasons-Nobody wants a t-top race car. Should it be restored just because its rare? Or should I strip it for parts and crush it? I can't decide
Please help

give it to me... :)


i'd restore it...
T-Tops are awesome.. :)

i think thats one thing i miss the most about my 88 Trans Am.... cruising with the t-tops in the summer....

i definitely want another t-top car next season.... debating on another Trans Am.. or a fox body mustang... only next season will tell :D

good find though..

let us know what you do..

how much do you have ivested in the car?, I have a 95 with a supersoupe 6 waiting to go in, but have lost intrest in it. Would you consider a trade? don't crush it.

here it is, the supercoupe motor has 175,000 on it and teh car has 174,000 on it. it is a 6 banger with blown headgaskets and the supercoupe motor was pulled out of the rotten car.

I would definately trade here is the t-top car you should know it is a little rustier than it looks but it runs and drives. And the rims don't come with the car. But I can talk to the guy who owns the wheels I think we can work something out cheap. It does include 4 "turbine wheels" that look like they came off of earlier model maybe mid 80's .I am trying to send pics but not working send me you e-mail i'll send them to you

t-tops are nice. grey interior is ugly though.

How long is it taking you to resto a fox, complete.

89racer 10-16-2008 02:25 PM

depending on the depth of the resto and the customers cash flow between 1 and 3 months plus paint
