Looks pretty good. Welcome to MM! So, I'm curious. Do you pay a premium price for a car like that over there? Are they tough to come by?

Nice ride! Welcome to the site! You gotta a funny little orange light on the front of your fenders though. I'd get that taken care of before it gets worse. Next thing you know it looks like a chicken truck going down the highway with 172 orange lights all over it. They spread like measles.

lol sadly we need the yellow lights indicators/turn signals, its a requirement here in the UK sadly im gonna try and convert it to yellow/orange bulbs a bit later if i can, its only yellow indicator repair covers so i can peel them off anytime, i might get some parts from a ford explorer or something to convert it....
the car itself only cost me £3K so around $5200, the foxes are rare but if you know where to look their out there...
ive know there are only a handful down here about 10 to 15 that ive seen, the more popular are the 65-71 models which are like ants and sugar, one or two 78,79,81,84, alot of 94 to 2007's as u can probably imagine but i fint the 87-93fox's easiest to work with especially since im just starting out but generally mostly your early and late ponies floating around...
i bought mine from www.dreamcars.co.uk they specialise in american motors....

only things ive replaced are the headlights, tail-lights, alternator, drive belt, wheels, new battery, and im looking into getting the arches rolled to fit some fatties on the back wheels and i don't mean people you can pick up at an all you can eat buffet lol
paint works quite heavily oxidized so will need to get a good respray done on it sometime in the future, but for the moment its still got a little laquer left on it so can still bring out a little shine to her... thanks for the welcome guys
