Speedfreak is now officially back into a fox! Today I picked up a decent 1981 LX notch with 107,000 km but she is a 6er ... for now! No pics yet will have some shortly. Let the parts accumulation begin ! Will be looking for an 8.8 rear end 94/95 spindles as well as any and all parts to convert to a v8 computer wiring harness ver soon.

Looks a lot nice then the 80 or 81 hatchback I had back in high school, it was a 6 cylinder 4 speed car ran and drove when I bought it but never made it to the road. I put a GT front end hood and hatch on the car but then sold it for parts.

Hard for some to believe but the Cobra did not have that OMG spazaz for very long! Don't get me wrong it was a great car but just not what I WANT ! my favorite stang is was and always will be 79-86! But I understand where your coming from I feel the same confused way how people like the mustang II or even the fucking ugly 2015 + stangs.Its all what appeals to you!

03-25-2016, 07:34 AM
Wow, that is one clean looking interior! I think I would preserve much of that interior as is (minus the wood grain which I would blackout) as it is too clean to change out IMO.

Personally I would do a 5.0 efi with HCI, tko500 5-spd, 8.8 (3.73) swap, 5-bolt SN brakes, weld rims, 82 or 86 nose with a deep impact blue paint job with blacked out Chrome. Then drive the tires off it!

Going to be a great project. Congrats!

Not ugly at all! When it's clean original, it's nice as hell. But if you insist in changing it, here's what I'd do to keep it stock but with a few minor upgrades.

1) flock the dash panels, replacing the wood grain. It would look like the SVO. (I did mine in grey: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6ZhsDFmWdQE/T7lpdacxeII/AAAAAAAAEKI/PEJzkBDhHuw454IvWv4SRA3opT2pb3CUwCCo/s1024-Ic42/int.jpg)

2) Black carpet

3) Optional: Replace the black/white tweed in the middle of the seats for black to tie it all together

4) put a clutch pedal in there :D
