I love build/member ride threads but never really make my own. Some people here know about my 03 Cobra but I've had my 91 Hatch for 14 years now. I've started working on it again so I'll try and use this thread for some motivation.

Little back story, I had saved all my money as a kid knowing I wanted a Fox 5.0 as a first car. Luckily I somehow convinced my parents to let me buy this car in 2000 when I was in 8th grade. I'll never forget the day we got it. Bone stock down to the air silencer with some shitty purple tint. A commercial pilot in Park Ridge had it for the princely sum of $4,500, everything I had.

It's kind of been on the back burner since getting the Cobra. Recently I've decided to change some stuff on it and now it's all apart again.

It's a typical bolt-on Fox. No LS bullshit here or ever. If I had the funds I'd wanna do a Coyote swap but the pushrod 5.0 is still fun.

Here's some somewhat current pics of the car. I'll edit and add stuff the more I do.

What started all this was me selling the Ford Racing blue silicone hose kit I had since I've been wanting to get rid of all the blue stuff and just have everything be black or silver under the hood.

So I have a new NPD black silicone hose kit, new Ford Racing water pump, switched to black plug wires, got rid of the washer tank, hid the hood release cable, trying my best to hide bullshit wiring, cleaning things the best I can. I'd love to remove the motor and go HAM in the engine bay but it's not in the cards right now. This car was completely undercoated in the engine bay and underside. I've removed most of that crap in the engine bay which was a pain but has preserved the paint. This whole car is factory paint still.
