Default Another ls1 fox swap.

Just picked up a 93 lx 4cyl auto. has 89k miles and all black interior. has some rust patches on the floor and its JUST starting on the shock towers but it can be saved. The best part is i got it for 400 bucks! My plan is to collect parts over winter then in spring start the build. Im a student so i dont have money shooting out of my ***. Im going this the cheapest way possible for now wich means doing an auto trans. But down the line want a t56. Gunna use stand alone harness mabye? Here are some pics!

Sure looks like a solid car for $400!! Good luck on the project. What ever your budget is....multiply it by 2 as these things will nickel and dime you to death if you want to do it right! Spend money in the right places and save on the shiny fancy stuff lol

Thanks! Yeah its obviously not perfect but i know my way around a fox pretty well. And i can sell the interior for double what i paid for the whole car. Im not into shiny, pretty parts anyway my motto is "Function over Form".
