I just bought my 93 GT 2 weeks ago, it’s a completely rust free true 88K mile car. Interior is 9/10, paint is like an 8.5/10. Black on black interior car. Still has the cats, smog system, egr everything is stock. I payed $10K for it.
I'll give you 14 for it lol
@@TheInfamousProject I'm buying a 89 25th anniversary edition 5.0
That was a steal, 👍🏼Good Job 👍🏼
@@TheInfamousProject come to Indiana and it’s yours lol I’ve always wanted an 96-98 Cobra. I’m hoping next year I can get my hands on one to park along side the fox
@@brycycles95 email me info plz. You can contact via my website
fox owner here, too. Umm, math with spare parts you have left over. not really 10k car. the average person interested in foxes doesnt have a 'parts car'!
The LX 5.0 has always had a place in my heart. Such great memories from my childhood!
Awesome job man! I went absolutely crazy restoring my 92 GT's interior and nothing makes me smile more than knowing that "I" did that when i get in the car. I'm chomping at the bit to pull my motor/trans but space is tight and funds are limited. Love the channel.
Hope u finish the proteyect if don’t do not loose the fate
I just bought this one, it has the M code in the VIN which I understand indicates it was born a 4cyl car. What are some other things to look at to tell if it was originally a 4cyl car or if someone has swapped a M code vin onto the car.

Looks like a nice little car you got!
One of the top dogs in the Foxbody game! Great vid as always!
Love your content! 10k not including a clean fox correct? My definition of clean is a Foxbody in very clean condition cost 16-18k. 6k gets you a roller ready for paint.
My brother had one of these things, he put a built to the ass 351 in it. It was his daily driver, it was BARELY legal! High 9s it ran. He took me for a ride one time around the block, that thing was just pure EVIL!
My grandmother has my moms first car which is a 89 2.3 aid and I want to do pretty much the exact same thing 2.3 to 5.0 it’s been sitting for 21 years and I have photos
I love your collection especially the 86-4-eye
I don’t care what anybody says that is one beautiful bad ass notch …
I just bought a couple weeks ago eh Canadian Lx 5.0 up here for $500 170k sat for 11years but it's kind of a rust stang but I can fix it n make it a daily driver after watching your videos thx
Oops 91 Lx
These Fox Mustangs were my childhood generation. I’m 41 years old and my dream is to find one of these someday. Coupes are awesome but I’d go with either a hatchback or convertible soft top. I also like the 5.0 GT too.
Dang bro 💀
Miss my 90 notch. Low miles and all stock 5.0. Only needed paint and seals. Florida car. Sold it for $2k in a jam figuring id get another. Nope. Prices skyrocketed and now i afforded a 94 gt. I like it but my true love is the fox 😢
Great vid thanks I was looking for a vid like this thanks
Okay I’m digging this thing for sure it’s growing on me definitely good buy, these are the better looking stangs the knotch in my opinion.
NICE UPDATE MIJO! That car turned out fantastic, and on a decent budget! You should do a feature on those perfectly placed, equal length, no wheel hop lines in your driveway! Had to be a well-built car that did that! :-) In all seriousness, that notch was a great story.
Dude I love how simple and clean this is.
Glad you like it!
Im just trying to make my 4 banger 92 coupe a reliable daily driver with a few upgrades
Id be happy with that 4cyl conversation any day of the week. Amazing work as always
New subscriber here from Michigan!...just picked me up a 89 Scarlet red notch rust free that was a 4 cylinder car and it's been 460 swapped...I saved the car from becoming a drag car...I got real lucky and the guy I got it from saved all the interior parts that took me about a half hour to reinstall...I plan on getting rid of the 460 and c6 that's in the car and going with a fuel injected Windsor power plant for my build....I kicked around a coyote swap but I'm leaning towards the Windsor instead....but cut a long story short I paid 5700 for my notch because of how clean it is....these notches are getting hard to find that aren't complete drag cars so I'm glad I finally found one....I've owned a ton of hatches but I finally got the notch I always wanted!...it was definitely worth the 5700 dollars I spent for my car.
Great job Chris! That’s the way to do it. Old school car building. @Louis Avello he converted it to power windows! Lol.
Chris , with the stock camber plates and coil overs , where you able to get the proper alignment?
I’ve had notches and I don’t get the obsession with them. Yes, they’re lighter but they do not look as good as a well done lx hatch or GT.
i know this vid is old but i like the pinstripe. back then all cars had pinstriping on them. good to see you dont have the red interior. to me theres nothing worse than red interior in anything. that is a clean notch though for sure. im lookin at one now that has a fresh 351 build that has never ban ran since rebuild and also comes w a novi supercharger also in white. it used to be a service car and has the 160mph speedo as well. the issue i have is the guy removed the fi wiring and everything associated w it. there is 5k on the novi supercharger kit. he bought the kit new and blew the 302 then built the 351. has afr cnc heads 650 carb bunch of stuff victor jr intake etc. body is supposed to be clean dunno for sure. he drag raced it but has the interior. also has a lentech aod trans. if i do get it i will swap it to a stick. my biggest concern though is what to do in regards of the missing wiring. hes askin 5500 for everything which doesnt seem too bad tbh. that wiring scares me though as its all gone. any tips on that one? id much rather have fuel injection.
4cyl cars are better in a lot of ways because they were never abused. Torque boxes and some many other things I’m not going to bother getting into.
of course, "doing the work yourself" means you own your own garage space and tools. Don't bother renting space, it takes away from the budget and as Uncle Tony's Garage learned, you can have the place sold out from under you and 30 days to pack up dissassembled cars and parts accumulated over years isn't long enough. Learn real estate from online courses and go to those dumb local events at hotels to learn your local real estate market and nab a foreclosure or something. As for tools, hit the estate sales--get the old stuff that really was made in America, not down the bicycle path from where MallWart gets its crap made. Unfortunately the days of nabbing broken LL Bean stuff and Craftsmen tools for a buck and trading them in for brand new are done. But you can still walk around the deceased's house and see how he treated his equipment and know what you're getting--for less than even Harbor Freight (you can always return at the end of the day/weekend and whoever is in charge really wants to get the place empty for resale).
Many who want Foxbodies are old enough to be happy with a 12 second car and not needing a 1,000 bhp swap that costs more--easy enough to achieve with a pushrod 302 and Explorer heads and intake before a used power adder is included. There's a good point made about paint, but if the surface is smooth you can wrap. My mother had a 1985 white Ford Escort and the factory paint was crap--you could see the grey primer thru it like the tint had dripped down--because Ford was changing to EPA friendly paints. so you might find even factory paint isn't worth painting over for big bucks--check out some of Rustoleum's metallic paint line...with practice you might get a 50/50 paint job (50 feet away, or going by at 50 mph) or just go with a wrap until you get a better budget to start from bare metal and perfect gaps.
check out the big Ford vans converted to airport buses etc in your local boneyard, you may find 1985/cobra style tailights flipped over on the back. One side might be tinted by diesel exhaust otherwise they may be cheaper than repops--esp. if you want to try your hand at spray on tint/smoke kits.
I remember when 4 banger swaps weren't cheap unless you picked up a Mercury Cougar from that era so you could get "everything" or you found a fleet truck at auction with a 351W and tried to find an engine builder with leftover forged 302 pistons from someone's stroker rebuild. now, however, you'd have to replace half the old sensors anyway and the fuel pump was only 88lph and with folks doing spindle swaps (we used to use T bird lower control arms to get some neg camber into the front end) it's worth finding a 4 banger that wasn't whipped to death trying to keep up to friends with 305 camaros, be happy the torque boxes aren't torn out, and add in the used aftermarket parts you want to work with OEM stuff (like an 8.8 inch rather than hunt the classic 9inch and then weld on the brackets, use a 1979 manual rack and pinion rather than Flaming River's for twice the price, SN95 convertable subframe connectors etc).
Love her man❤
Well said. Good looking car ! Love the wheels
Debating buying the cleanest shell I can find for 1k no rust at all.
But it’s fully gutted, still has 4cy rear tho.
Really debating it, not scared of the work.. at all, or the money. More so timing of taking the 1k on the shell right now. But think may be worth it to build from ground up with my som
I had a white hatchback that I bought back in 99 when you could buy one for $1000 with a bad transmission. I converted it to manual which was pretty straight forward. I’ve been looking at a few clean 4 cylinders and considering this conversion 👍
It's a SWEET LOOKING FOX 🦊 BODY GOTTA LOVE IT ALWAYS A HIT AND IT'S A PONEY 🐎 GIDDIE UP WE ALL KNOWS MUSTANG'S MAKE IT HAPPENED 😮 THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE CHRIST WAS A PUP 💗
Not a whit car kinda guy but that is nice 👍🏻 your living the Dream .
Nice car
The car turned out great! I am doing something similar with mine. I bought a low mileage 4 cyl 5 speed notch and I am the 2nd owner. It is super straight and has a newer paint job. I had a GT I bought years ago and it was a major project. I decided recently to part out the GT because the last owner beat the hell out of it and did some suspect things to it so I will use the parts for the notch. All together I would say I have about 6k in to it. At the end of the day the car will be what I wanted. Even if it was a original 5.0 car I would modify it anyway so I don't see what the big deal is why people give negative feedback between 4 and 8 cars.
What u going to do with ur 4 banger engine??
This one actually was a roller but typically I sell em off to guys that do some bracket racing
@@musclecargarage8882 I will probably be using it for a while since it runs great with 78k miles. I will probably upgrade everything around it until I get another motor since the one in my GT wasn't in good shape and I need to get another one.
@@jamessalter676 oh ok. Mines runs ok seems pretty slow and it got 144k miles i think. Do u have any issues getting up to speed like 60 to 80 miles an hour??
@@musclecargarage8882 lol they are pretty slow and gutless having 89 hp. I haven't done any daily driving with it yet. I have probably got it up to 60 on the back roads without a problem. I just drive it normal for the most part. The 5 speed I am sure helps better than the auto would. I did squeak the tires once doing a U-turn 😆
Slowly becoming unobtanium for the budget builder, unfortunately, because of posts like these.
I miss my 93 black in and out notch oem v8 .. congratulations I like to have one again… even though having 2021 Durango hellcat..
That’s such a clean and sexy notch. I personally wouldn’t do much more to it because I’d just want to drive the hell out of it.
This project had a nice arc. Its easy to miss where it started vs where it ended with the other projects in between but who's going to complain about too many fox projects!
Lol that's what the playlist is for!
Wow this 5.0 sounds good, even over laptop speakers! LOL
Can you do a video on how to eliminate egr and not throw a check engine light? Thanks
Have an original 89. Some light passenger frame damage. Interior 10-10. 48k miles maybe second turn. All paper work.
Wanna buy it.? Be good for your channel
Some people will think $10,000 for a 30 year old car aint such a hot deal.
I would need to have 999999999.99999 trillion dollars to have a garage like that. On stupid Long Island.
my issue is insuring one. the blue book on these is not good and they are easily stolen. you better have a garage for it and your going to have to insure it with Hagerty or something similar. about two months ago i cost checked what i wanted to do and its not worth it for me in my situation and trust me i love the mustangs especially fox body one's.
😊 best car for beach our fooling around and younger son kids ice cream shop talking about the car with people who age is the time of car in its day
5 lug conversion..Was that alot$$?
Car looks clean and sounds clean. What kind of Bluetooth did you decide upon?
Love to own it not to much under hood 450 to 500 hores power less but standard to lower it bit more just fun guy and u got good deal
Chris you are living the dream. Another awesome notch.
I just bought a 88 notch with fresh black paint. Now that I've been watching your videos I'm finding out it's not as great as it looked. They didn't remove any trim just painted it all black but thankfully the guy used straight black base and clear so I can match the paint easily when I go to do the jams ect. Right now I'm trying to get it cut and buffed and ceramic coated but yeah I touch it and it's smeared. I love/hate black! YOU INSPIRE ME
HELP!!
Bought a 89 4 cylinder coupe roller and don’t know where to start(where to get engine/trans, Detailed Step by Step installs)...no rust, straight body, stripper optioned..
Cluster is swapped, looks to be a 8.8 rear end, A9L computer, flowmaster catback, interior is there, most of the wiring.
Not sure what are the other main differences, like the headlight harness, brake booster, suspension, etc
Thanks 🙏
Check out some of my newer vids.. did a complete v8 swap
Very inspirational, great video, thanks!👍🏻💪🏼
My pleasure!
Knowledge is power! I spent way more fixing a 06 BMW 330I then the car was worth but now I know a ton about E90s and no one can take that away from me except if demensia kicks in!
Ya I need to do some maintenance to my 335. Rattling waste gates and some vac lines need replaced
@@TheInfamousProject that's going to be my next daily driver. I'm on my 2nd 330. Never even knew the difference in models but now I need twin turbos 😆
Been trying to find a coupe(that runs and drives this time) and I haven’t found a coupe that’s not a rust bucket or junk for $10-11k 😑
I’ve lived on Facebook marketplace for 2 weeks, forums, facebook pages everyday and not a sniff…
I’m on the east coast
Gotta find the ones not posted!
Absolutely HATE the pin stripe in any Color
NO pinstripe!!! That is all lol
Great video thanks 😊 for sharing!! I’ve been thinking about converting my power windows to manual. I’m glad you went over the conversion, I didn’t the arm rests were in a different spot!! Of course my car is a 85 SVO, so I’m not sure if any of the information pertains to the earlier fox’s. Great looking build. I’d wheel it everywhere!! lol 😂
What color car? I have an 88 with manual windows. I want power. Hint hint.
Wow, can you spare a car? I would be the first to sign up for a raffle for this car.
Always great videos!!!
I’d buy that car is it for sale? If it is for sale send me a response & price
How times have changed...
I bought my 1989 1//2 5.0 5-speed LX notch BRAND NEW for under 10k, I still had room to purchase my Flowmasters, Saleen wing and Ram Air hood from Cervinis ( I saved a lot by picking up cuz I live in NJ) The Steeda ground effects put me over the10k.
I kept the special sport package (140 mph speedometer 89 😜) stock color 'Almond' because it was an absolute sleeper, especially with the tint. ARE BBS Mesh rims in black were added.
In December '91 I did a 5k value custom paint job in a Fuchsia pink with a blue pearl in the clearcoat... I could have never afforded it, but I paid for supplies, my brother is a professional auto body painter who specializes in custom paint. I LOVE my Pinkpony! I've been enjoying her for daecades! yes, I still have her and she is about tonbe rejuvenated! Over 30 years and only on my 2nd set of Flowmasters and 2nd clutch ..... We won't discuss how many sets of Gatorbacks I have turned into slicks 😜 ... Lol this Mama doesn't play! I still have only 93k miles, somehow less than my '06 Explorer 🤷🏼♀️ go figure
What nice job on that car I mean it I would cherish that cutie
I watch some of your vids in reverse. The ones in the past that I missed. That notch turned out so dope. It looks awesome.
Thank you sir
Wow do my coupe next 💯🔥
I’m looking into buying one myself , have any videos on LS swap ? I’m looking to do a ls swap big turbo setup
No LS lol
I vote ditch the pin stripe, that is a sick car for 10k.
Thanks bro appreciate it!
vanilla ice is at the door he says hes got something for you
Around how much would be tow swap a 4 cylinder to 5.0 I just found a notch back but it’s a 4 banger.
Depends on the donor car you find...
I would love to have that car!
Ditch the pinstripe.
I just purchased a bone stock 93 LX convertible. Not a spec of rust. Very clean body and interior for $7500
30 years automotive and 22 years a undercar specialist(front end alignments) and i must say every one i have ..un less brand new has a little wigglile in the steering wheels (4 lug) and the steering wheel can get off even after a good alignment( steering shaft has play after a while) just how it is so get used to it and done worrie!!!!! unless you have 10000bucks to put in it!~~and still have the wiggle and off steering wheel lol!~!~
Texas is the greatest country just needed to add that lol
Agreed
Every project takes time and $$$! If you’re not going to spend both someone will buy your project cheap! That’s why buying your project cheap is key, and have a straight body with no rust is key! Keep um coming and keep um running!
It’s my favorite car of all years
Man you don't play.. great job
Thanks
I have a 91 gt that’s just about done at the body shop. Gonna need some interior restoration. I’m in Louisiana, man I wish I could bring the car to you and just pay for your touch.
Hood pins always on these. I've had 8 , 4 coupes, once you have none or sell your "only child" it feels like you've lost your left arm.
good luck finding ANY notch, even a 4 cyl, for under about $10k
You good at building them
They built millions of these things so you would think you would be able to find foxs in nice condition for a good price, but not really. It's either really hard to find or they're not available
Killer 5.0
Fantastic job ! No matter if it was a 4 cylinder doesn't matter it's still another foxbody saved and running !
Wow, blue interior?
Manual windows?
It have AC?
Just picked up a 89 hatch for free cause my friends were moving they said if I can come pick it up I could have it needs motor and trans but rust free
Should have made it a turbo 4 cylinder.
😁🤗🤑
IMO
Swaping a t5 into my 79. Which headers will work the best with the cable and fork clearnce?
😍🦊🚗🔧🐎💪🇺🇸👊
Love the white color, really nice build so far. thats a solid 8-9k car
Took the yellow headlights out? Looks like it came out great overall. Nice job.
The car turned out great! Good info on how to get a project done at a reasonable price! I appreciate the time and work you put into your videos.
Thank you sir
DUDE I THINK IT IS AWSOME TOO HAVE A FOX THAT ISN'T PERFECT THAT YOU CAN DRIVE AND ENJOY LOL LIKE MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA I CAN'T DRIVE IT AND ENJOY IT LOL IT HAS JUST OVER 20THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE EXHAUST AND THE PAINT IS ALMOST PERFECT AND YOU KNOW THERE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE LOL I LOVE TOO FIND A BLACK 93 COBRA THAT NEEDS TO BE RESTORED SO I CAN MOD IT AND DRIVE IT AND ENJOY.
That's a super clean conversion 👌 You should get rid of the lonely drivers side pin stripe... The passenger side without looks cleaner.
what wheels are those?!!!!
It's a gud car to start w. Better then a ratty one. Nice paint. F pl. Notch n jus swap motor.
Wonder what you could get for it? $15? $20?
Baby Talk Womp
I love it bro she is bad
Definitely agree with you about finding a fox that doesn't need a complete respray paintjob. The days of getting a nice $4000 paintjob is long gone. PDR and a good paint correction goes along way to get thinks started
