    If the rest of the car is in good shape in the usual troubled areas. I would fix it and finish the car. If not, find a donor body.

    ^ Exactly that.
    What ever turns your crank is what makes sense.

    ^^Yup, floor pans are no big deal, just make sure you check the inside and outside of the strut tower frame rails, as well as the forward door posts.

    People were fixing floors, shock towers etc. on 60s Mustangs 20 years ago ... now it's time for the Foxes to get done! LOL

    I agree with the others, if the front bit of the car is solid, go for the repair.

    I would pass on it. Besides, you’ve got the ‘95 to keep you busy enough.

    If just the floors... yeah I'd fix it... If the front rails, rad support, torque boxes, door pillars are gone too... time to invest in a clean roller.

    Hard to find a clean fox that isnt $5k. If its gonna be worth the investment in 10 years time then id rather change the floor. Im not a big fan of cars going to scrap either and ill probably get my money back out of it if the market now is any indication of how things will be 10-20 years from now. Itll be hard enough to find a shitty fox let alone a nice one by that time lol

    It’s repairable as long as the whole post isn’t rotted, which can happen. Not hard to pull the doors or fenders to have a good look.
