Mine looks the same. It's resting up for the local pumpkin fest car show sunday. Then it might be going into hybernation for the winter. I got to get busy and get a roof on my garage so it'll keep dry.

I'll post up a pic of mine. I've been driving it all week trying to install my Sequential Turn Signal kit. I get off work, feed the kids, mess with the car for an hour then back inside to play before bedtime. It needs a serious cleaning. Monday it gets the hood and new scoops repainted. For now I have a video from tonight.

Here is where mine stands right now...  Rolling on the turbines because they had better tires than the snowflakes.  I still have to trim the A/C compressor bracket so the hood will close.

Also to adjust the transmission cable and finish the exhaust (as I just have temporary lers that dump before the axle.  Very LOUD.

if i wasn't on my phone, i'd post the last pic i took of my black car on the trailer.. nasty steel wheels, an interior full (literally full) of parts and all that.. i'll be posting plenty of pics of that car when i get settled in my new 'home based' shop and start ripping into her.. full blown race car status ;)


finally on the computer.. this is what my soon-to-be 110% stripped black TC looked like, when it was leaving the old shop..

Looks a bit sad, hasn't been on the road since Nov '09... I did roast the tires about a month ago out in front of the house but that's the first it'd been out of the driveway since it was taken off the road... Yes the 5.0 with head gasket blown between cyl 3 & 4 is still in it...

Well, this is a pic of my fox from last winter. It was in the back yard at the time. Unfortunately, I've lost track of it and can't provide any current pics. Sorry.

Hell yeah anything with no rust = MINT far as I'm concerned lol.

Sadly this is exactly what it has looked like for months LOL. Friend's dad who will be doing the frame rails has a good friend that works for Keystone (LKQ) and the guy found a yard somewhere in FL with a mint front subframe, now we're just waiting to hear the name of the yard so I can set it up. Wheels turn slow these days, I guess LKQ is buying up everything they can find as far as yards and the company is getting turned upside down. But maybe soon I'll be able to STOP saying "soon he'll come and fix the subframe" haha.
