Soon to be back in a fox!! Reply #4 – October 02, 2006, 11:12:39 PM No offense, but that engine bay is bad. I hate to think it, but it looks kinda like Ether947's TCR. Still not bad for the price in any way Quote Selected
Soon to be back in a fox!! Reply #5 – October 02, 2006, 11:22:03 PM Yeah Judging by the engine bay that black paint coulda been a quick cover up.. inspect the under carriage thoroughly and make sure you're not in for a rude awakening a few months down the road. Quote Selected
Soon to be back in a fox!! Reply #6 – October 02, 2006, 11:31:44 PM I'd check the rear frame rails where they go over the axle, too. They're pr0ne to rust and will cause the whole arse of the car to buckle at the wheel well - one of those pics looks like that may have happened. Quote Selected
Soon to be back in a fox!! Reply #7 – October 02, 2006, 11:32:39 PM Looks good in the pics, hopefully will be just as good under closer inspection. Worth every penny of $200 IMHOThen again I paid $100 for an 86tc with a blown engine, no turbo, no door and missing a quarter panel and though I did good :pOn second look that engine bay looks pretty crusty...Thunderchicken why do you say that? qp's look straight to me Quote Selected

Looking at the pic of the front view, though, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. I think it's just a combination of the light, reflected background and the complex curve of the fenderwell.

Soon to be back in a fox!! Reply #10 – October 03, 2006, 08:09:23 AM I agree with the others... look CLOSELY at that rust in the engine bay around the frame and shock towers. Quote Selected
Soon to be back in a fox!! Reply #11 – October 03, 2006, 04:35:31 PM Yeah im gonna give her a super close inspection once i pick her up. And she won't be driven on winter roads. She will be cleaned up nicely and the whole underside of the car will be covered in por 15! Quote Selected
