This car went to the perfect home!

[@GearHead704]

100% thanks again for selling it buddy!

[@babyhuez597]

Good for your daughter keeping it stock height. It’s refreshing to see people keeping these fox bodies stock. Do a video rebuilding the rear when you get to it! I’m in the same boat.

[@GearHead704]

Agreed, oh and if you haven't seen my rebuild video series on that here it is: kzbin.info/aero/PLcU_NeZMyovJuvfLqouegm_vcKUD2Mi3k

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Honestly, I think it’s just right it went to the perfect place and thank God it is finally being driven all these cars that get parked and never used. It’s so terrible for them love this car and the fact that it gets used all well-being cared for those springs will settle as well. Perfect ride height for a daily driver, if it was me, I would put that 7.5 rear on the shelf and put a clean 323 geared 8.8 LSD rear in it then again all the work you just did to the brakes and the fact that she’s not going to beat on the car the 7.5 is more than likely plenty Thoroughly enjoy the videos my friend and got the added bonus of finding the TIP channel through you so thanks for that. I wish I would’ve never sold my fox cars. Edit I hope this car does come back the four eyes don’t get enough love 86 is my favourite ! Cheers

[@GearHead704]

TIP is awesome. Actually she has an 8.8 as that was in all the 86 GT's and she's running a 3.27 from the factory.

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

One more thing. Awesome. Keep driving it.!

[@GearHead704]

She's driving the heck out of it for sure lol.

[@dr.curious5136]

Glad to see the younger generation appreciating the fox body, Matt helped me out with a few years ago with some OEM parts for my 93 cobra….. Good place to purchase.

[@GearHead704]

Very cool! Yeah I'm glad she's into it.

[@ogsuperflygarage]

I think it looks good Matt! Definitely looks better than stock height...

[@GearHead704]

I think so too, thanks!

[@londawg3844]

Wow I had Hanlon motorsports rebuild my T-5 out of my 86' GT to a cobra spec T-5 way back in 1995. Good to hear he's still at it!!

[@GearHead704]

Oh that's cool! Yeah I think he does good work.

[@spassmore8483]

I absolutely love this fox Matt you and your daughter have one of the cleanest 4 👀👀 s out there along with your other cars I love the collection! Glad to hear one of these days were going to see what you end up doing with Nemesis eventually... I would love to have Halo sitting next to Shifty!!!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks so much it has been quite a journey to this point, but it's great to see she's been putting the miles on the 86! Shifty is a great Fox too. Thank you so much.

[@i-still-cruz2430]

We are overdue an update on this car Matt. 😀😎

[@FoxFan5.0]

I think the new 17” 10 holes would look sick on it.

[@GearHead704]

I think so too. I have the original 10 holes as well, but they have the gatorback tires on them.

[@RegularGuyGarage]

It looks good Matt. I’m sure it’ll settle a little bit as she keeps driving it too. Beautiful car! She’s lucky to have it for sure.

[@GearHead704]

Hey Dan! Thanks much dude, I know you really liked the 4 eyes. I'm so glad she's enjoying. Thanks for watching.

[@2023Taco]

Recently purchased a 86 SVO and like we all do these days, went to YT looking for content. And if I didn’t find a video my car on your channel, very cool!!!! I know this because the guy I purchased it from was in video. How cool!!! I think your title was “found after 17 years” from PITS ‘21 Anyway, new sub, enjoying going through all your videos.

[@GearHead704]

No way that's way way cool, I remember that! That was a nice SVO man. I love them too. I'm so glad you found the video and thanks so much for the support.

[@edwardthecoupe]

This car is sweet and looks awesome lowered. Very clean car when i saw it in person at mustang week 2023!

[@GearHead704]

Oh that's cool you got to check it out in person! It's had a LOT of changes since then. Thanks for the support.

[@Danknugz302]

I think that just sold me on the C springs, I'm just looking for a little bit of a drop while putting some new springs in my 88

[@GearHead704]

That's great to hear! I love it.

[@bmobuell]

Love the 86 for eye Contant! I can’t remember, but what video was it where Matt showed how to remove the halo headrest and seatback foam and cover all in one easy swoop?

[@GearHead704]

me too! And man I can't remember either, sorry about that

[@coreyrowe2052]

I like the ride height. It's her daily so it needs to be comfortable. It still looks sporty, sounds good and runs well...all the things a daily should be... especially for a young lady who wants a cool yet reliable car!

[@GearHead704]

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@paulhudgins5120]

It looks great, seems to be the right height, going lower, then you running into bump steer problems, great choice on the springs, great job double Matt on the suspension work.

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Paul, I really think so too!

[@randybelcher6693]

It looks better, still needs to be at least an inch lower in my opinion, but that's not what matters. It's your daughter's car, and it's whatever makes her happy! As a father of 3 daughters myself, ages 4, 10 and 17, I can say that I watched her video and that you guys raised an awesome daughter!

[@GearHead704]

I also would prefer lower for my car too, but yeah she seems to like it! Three daughters that's cool man, and nice age spread. Enjoy and thanks for watching.

[@mustangmike4078]

It doesn't look dramatically lower because the old stuff was so worn out but it's definitely a little lower though. Got all the same stuff sitting in my basement for the last two years but it's definitely going in this season. It's a little too chilly at the moment here in Ohio. Well done, nice job!

[@GearHead704]

Ohio man that's cold I bet! Hope it goes well.

[@nathanieljones7981]

You need a 4 eye 85/6 coupe shirt. or hatch

[@GearHead704]

I agree. May try to have one for Foxtoberfest this year.

[@nathanieljones7981]

@@GearHead704 if you do, I may be at PITS this year with my 83 Dominator Gt, I just picked up a 86 Utah SSP. Still has cats/mufflers and the air silencer still on it.

[@dmh1367]

What is the story on buying Matt Farrahs coupe? I bet it would make for a great video😮

[@GearHead704]

Should be up this Wednesday.

[@stunna1050]

Those look like the SVO rims from the 4cyl turbo. Always liked them

[@GearHead704]

I like those too. These are 93 cobra replicas.

[@bendirusso3149]

It looks good. I think she won’t mind a bit.

[@GearHead704]

She seems to like it.

[@alexp6016]

I think she’ll be happy with it. It lowered it just enough to get rid of the monster truck stance. Looks great!

[@GearHead704]

I think so took, thanks!

[@brandonknight7240]

Mine is lowered and i want it raised back up to normal height, just got longtube headers and they are maybe 3 inches off the ground

[@GearHead704]

Headers always makes it a challenge especially long tubes.

[@geraldjackson7652]

I think it needs the original rims it would look awesome and beautiful stock👍🏻

[@GearHead704]

We've still got them actually and with the original gator backs! I just don't want to shell out the cash for new tires for it right now, but they'll probably eventually go on it.

[@jasonr6763]

When are you gonna do an ‘85-‘86 shirt?

[@GearHead704]

Considering it for Foxtoberfest

[@timwindsor03]

Incredible video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope all is well. Tell the family i said hello. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

[@GearHead704]

Tim! Thanks so much buddy.

[@VidTubeWatch]

Definitely going to ride a lot better and quieter now for her. The car will settle a little more in the next day or so, but I don't think it'll be too low for her liking whatsoever. I was thinking, for your 20K giveaway are you going to give away Tarheel Fox? LOL. Just kidding.

[@GearHead704]

🤣 interesting idea! Maybe if I have brain damage I will, lol. Thanks for the laugh VV.

[@VidTubeWatch]

@@GearHead704 We'll call it a temporary lapse in judgment. lol

[@frogman7874]

It’s perfect! But it will get a bit lower once the springs settle.

[@GearHead704]

Agreed!

[@eddiefalcon8316]

Do report back on how it rides. My 93 is still riding on original springs but has kybs and new rubber parts all around and rides nice for being a 30 year old car.

[@GearHead704]

Slightly better because the original suspension was so shot, but not comfy like stock.

[@vrm86gt]

the bigger rims and less amount of tire sidewall definitely exaggerates the space between the fender and rim (4x4 look)

[@GearHead704]

Agreed.

[@josephleonardi8977]

Well Matt.. I know I said it should have been dropped and I’m thinking you did a tasteful drop on Kristen’s Halo!!! And I have no doubt she’ll like it! As for Nemisis… Christine said you have to finish him!! That’s a must!! 😜 great upload bud and as always… love them bloopers!!👊🏻👊🏻

[@GearHead704]

Hah hah well tell Christine it's definitely gonna happen! Thanks a lot buddy as usual.

[@johnnybravo6047]

You guys have any 85-86 GT factory seats for sale? Need front and rear.

[@GearHead704]

Not to my knowledge.

Hah hah, yeah he's a beast.

[@79chevy901]

Take the mudflats off of the car?

Already got one off lol. I still have it though. I'm going to ask her what she wants to do with them.

Because of the style or the fact that haven’t been cleaned? lol
