My 89 Foxbody Coupe, Freshly 5 lugged and Dressed in Drag

I figured I would share a few pics I took today of my latest project. I've had this 1989 LX Notchback for a little over a month now and I just got it sitting proper this week. Over the past few weeks I have installed a UPR k-member, A-arms, front coilovers, CC plates, Strange struts, Sn95 spindles, Sn95 brakes, offset rack bushings, new end links, Moser axles, and Champion Cap 5 wheels with Mickey Thompson ET streets. I also just completed a complete paint correction over the weekend. I've been pretty busy with the car. Plans are to pull the engine, do a mild HCI setup, smooth and paint the engine bay, and add an on3 turbo kit.

Here's the pics.



















And a pic of how it looked a few weeks ago. It's came a long way in a short period of time!

 

Thanks! I plan to just run open downpipe if I go turbo, but if I end up going with a supercharger I definitely want some VRS 3" tailpipes.

 

Right now the plan is to run 10lbs on the stock block with a safe tune. That will be more than enough power to keep me happy until I pop the block or sell the car.

 

It will be going up for sale sometime next year after I get done with it.

 

I paid $5500 IIRC with the suspension, heads cam intake, and a bunch of other stuff included new in box.

 

Thanks everyone. I still have the 97, it's just sitting in the garage. The silver fox is gone, someone wanted it a lot more than me so they ended up buying it and I bought this with the spare change and put the rest in the bank. I go to college, work at a tire shop, flip cars, and detail cars for a living.

 

It's Cabernet Red, I like it much more than my Wild Strawberry coupe I used to have.
