I know people did this to the MN-12's, but I've never seen one on a fox before...

That's what I thought when I first saw it too..."why would someone do that to a sport?"

Looks better on the Fox than it does in the MN12. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that with some tweaks (wheels, paint, get rid of those God-awful bumpers) I could actually like it. I'd like to see one done on a four-eye, though - I think the side glass on a four-eye would go better with the whole '50 Ford look...

Honestly its not that bad. Its all steel with actual 50's metal on it, I can appriciate it far more than the cut and stick fiberglass kits EVERYONE does to mn-12's...

I wouldnt say it was destroyed, but you know its one less bird going to the junkyard anytime soon

Would anyone close to the seller like to do me a favor and put it and its owner out of their misery? Thats just plain wrong no matter how you look at it and i am just waiting for the 20 clowns to pop out of it.

Well, its not my style. His work is really amazing though. Very few untied strings on that car. Its a shame his efforts going into that and not rodding something unique.

I see the good and the bad in it.

Yeah, it is a Sport, yeah, it *looks* to be top notch work, and yeah, it'd be neat to own.

I too think an '85-'86 might have better lines due the smaller, different shaped c-pillar.

With that said, a moonroof? C'mon guys, they suck ass lol.
One less Sport in the junkyard, and still, well, mobile.

Is it possible to like, but yet dislike the same car?

Wheels, different paint, and some handling/suspension upgrades...where do I sign?

Yeah, I'm an inch shy of 6 feet...a manual seat (think no downward adjustment...) and a moonroof don't mix for a (somewhat) tall feller. I suppose I could I tilt the seat way back, but then I'd have to wear boxers uunder my pants that sag down to mid-thigh, and a pen 15eyed ball cap and f*ck all....

Yup...either the moonroof has gotta go, or the manny seat bracket....since I do have a power seat track, but no mad skillz with a welder yo, the roof with the moonshine hole has to stay...
