Dude it's 43 here in D.C.. Hell it may be cooler than that now.

Jim, Very nice ride. I really like that color!

WOW! Another new S197 owner! Welcome!

What got you to go ahead for it? I'm rather surprised that you having 16 foxes.

I learned (via the tech that helped me finish) how they "drop" the dash down...I'm still not doing that job myself anymore, though, unless the car is already apart.

There is a way to do the heater core swap on a Fox without discharging the A/C but it takes 2 people and is a bit of a pain....I've done more of those than I like to remember but being in the business I'm in I can't get away from doing them.....but I do charge what it's worth for the job and I still don't like doing them.

Yep, those S197s are nice, nice cars. I test drove one a while back and I'm soooooooo tempted to replace my Zinc Yellow '01 GT with a new GT....make mine Grabber Orange!

Congrats to everyone on your new purchases.

Thanks! Go for it if you desire. Its huge difference by sitting in it and driving it.. much easier to clutch it due to hydralic powered clutch.. unlike fox body.. full weight.. worn my knee out a bit. its much more fun driving it anyway

on my face every time i drive it.
