Project low and slow 1977 Fox

[ppoida]

Well it was a sad day yesterday when the new owner came and picked up the S4 and my yellow car days are now over.

But welcome the new car in my life

THE FOX!

This little beaut is a 1977 4 speed manual version and in nick named "Project Low and Slow"

the plans are

A lick of paint
Re-trimm interior
Re-skinned dash
White walls
white rear blinds
White vinyl roof (proper vinyl not this new fangled stuff)
Maybe a set of carbs and exhaust

Then just cruise!!

Here are a few pics























Overall the car isn't in bad shape will be great once finished for sure, I can't believe how big the boot is in these things is huge!!

Now I know Doms will faster, but for sure mine, will be more brown and true to the 70's lol

Way more brown!!!!!


Stay tuned

I love this. Does it really need paint? Looks pretty good to my eyes. Keep it OG!

Wow! That's unbelievable. I think if you looked up "old skool" on the urban dictionary you'd find a picture of that car as the definition lol. It's great

Hello ,

sorry I havent been around for a couple of months?


I have had a few days off the last couple of days so I decided to pull the interior out and give charles a good clean

-Vacuum
-Shampoo carpets/seats
-pull the contact off the dash
-remove the piece of fabric stuck of the dash
-clean of all the interior bits

Here are a few photos before cleaning






Then after sorry about the bad quality











Overall the carpets came up very good the dash has a few cracks but thats to be expected. In my efforts to totally grandpa spec out the car I have added some supper fluffy soft wool seat covers and a knitted rug on the back seat.


A few quick question for the more informed people out there

What if any 5-speed box will bolt up with this engine the 4 is great but really needs a 5 gear i think
Does anyone have or know where to buy new molded floor carpets and dash mats from?
Does anyone have a set of rear shocks absorbers?

Cheers

Pete

The paint look good in the pics, how ever they are alot of patches where tree sap or bird poo have been left i think.
