Make sure engine, transmission, brakes, shocks, tires were all in good operating condition.

repaint in original (I happen to like your OEM colors) colors

new carpet/upholstery

Drive and enjoy!

Let me ask you What do you want from your car. Everyone will have different ideas for you. As everyone taste is different. I like drag racing cars. So i would build a car more towards that. Some like cars to be like road racing cars and really want them to handel better. It is all what you want out of it.

Do you have any mods at all to it?
Are you looking for more kick in the ass feel?
If the car is bone stock. Then we can give you a few mods that will wake the car up. Some that don't even cost any money. Like just advancing the timming a few degress will make the car feel better. Also removing the Air slincer on the other side of the factory air box will help also. You can also run a shorter belt that will pick up a few poines. There is so much you can do to these cars to wake them up. Best bsng for the buck Would be a set of 4.10 gears

Also can you do me a favor and pick the nicest pic of your car and post it for me. Just want to see it.

I like it just the way it is! Your car looks killer factory... Not to many runing around like that anymore! I would do the basic as it needs replacing. Best of luck !

5 speed swap, gears and a blower.

The 5 speed swap was probably the best thing I did to mine. I hated the aod.

I really wish I had just bolted a blower onto the stock motor and left it at that.

Off road h pipe, headers, CAI, 3:73's, Cobra intake, T-5 swap, paint, and some interior work sounds like it would be good for you! Keep the factory colors though, they go perfect together.:awesomework:

Paint doesnt look bad in the pics, maybe you can clay bar and wax it to bring the deep shine back, repaints can be pricey.

Youve already got Flowmasters! Maybe a read disc brake conversion or a some lowering springs.

As stated, its a treat to see a Fox in stock trim, every one elses looks way modified, yours stands out in the crowd.
