Hey guys, I'm new to your forum, but not new to Mustangs. My first car was an 86GT that I still own. I got it in '88 and it's been my baby. I have known "Stangman" for about a year now and I'm thinking of moving to Alabama with my wife. I'm really impressed with this site - Ya'll know your stuff! Anyway, tired of the b.s. in L.A. and am looking for a better living.

Alot different here than LA. But, there's alot of cool racing history around So Cal... weigh your options. Cost of living here is probably 1/4 of LA.

(ps...I saw a Red '85 GT the other day; real clean T-top car. I stopped and talked to the guy for a few minutes...he lives here in Hoover and has had the car since 1988 too... it now has 23k miles. :eek: MINT. )

Thanks for the welcome! I was actually looking at Oxford, but will know more after some feedback. My wife and I will be out to b'ham in mid July. We'll spend a week looking around to see what it's like. My 86 is on it's way to being restored, but time and $$ aint always there!

I have always loved 4eyed foxes, esp. the 86! Last year of 4eyes, first of fuel injection. I have done a lot of work to her. I will be doing a cam/head swap soon. Then, all I need is interior work and paint. I hand polish every part I can. When I get a chance I'll post some pics. Thanks again!!!!

Welcome to the board. :jeanyus:

Let us know when you and the wife will be out here, maybe we could all get together so you can see how retarded Alabamians really are. :jester:

Thanks! I can't say I have seen anything retarded yet (like a chevy motor in a fox) LOL!!! I plan on being out to b'ham between July 12 & 19. I'll probably see stangman and I would really like to meet you guys!!! Here in L.A. guys with Mustangs are retards!!! 20" rims and speakers to match, which I can't really knock the stereo's, but nobody knows how to turn a wrench. It's sad!!! I have had mine for 20 years and it's been in a body shop more than any mechanic's shop! Here are some pics -
