I thought I had some pictures but couldn't find one. If they are the same as other foxes there is a bolt that goes through the frame rail to hold the bumper support in and has a slide nut on the...

The fun continued into mid-October in 2021:
Of course the gratuitous October gas pump photo:

I lost my sweet storage a mile away last summer in August so the car is stored in my garage right now.
This 86 SVO is a fun and nice car to drive. While I know I may be pushing my luck knowing...
2021:
I've had the car running since late May. Over the summer I haven't gotten as many trips out as I'd wished. We all wish for more seat time don't we?
First day out:
...
Little to report on the SVO this year. There isn't much for me to do really. The things I want to do are a little more of a time commitment than I was willing to put in this year - valve seals,...
A couple more doing car and storage shuffling!
Come on 2019! :tu:

I have neglected updating this post about the car but the car isn't neglected. See below updates I posted to FEP :)
After doing the brakes, I find they work great! I still feel more resistance to...
Welcome. Good luck with the car!
I redid the front brakes on my 86 SVO and found I was missing one of these anti rattle brackets. I need to install the missing one as after the work, I have noted some noise that I think is from the...
Thanks for that. It may be further up like you say. I have not been in behind the valve cover and head to see back there up close but it could be. One day this will be rebuilt so I can live with a...
Thanks and good eye Rod.
Looking at the two closeups I have of the front Koni's is they both are stamped 10-2-87. Door tag has a 01-86 date on it. Clearly they must have been replaced at some time...
Well, the coolant leak is fixed as well as the oil pan plug is good. With it being cleaner plus in my garage to look for any leaks sooner after running it, I have found the last culprit.
Looks...
During the installation of the pads, I decided to change the fluid out. Gravity drained most of it and used the vacuum pump after. Lastly used another person to press the pedal to ensure all of the...
Speaking of rotors... I took the ones off the car in and they machined them all. The rears were well within spec.
...
It's funny. I had to look around to find the sensor on the engine. As stated, I had questioned the fan operation and temperature switch in relation to the gauge reading. A couple of summers ago, I...
While awaiting the pads to arrive, last weekend I hit a some things on the list :tu:
The usual oil change. I have not driven the car too far since I have owned it but hadn't changed the oil in a...
Well, Mr. Smarty that I am buying things months if not years in advance have an issue with the front pads I bought from RockAuto last year.
Here I thought I would get everything back together in...
Early last week, I pulled the front apart to get started on the work.
It was so tempting to jump in and start cleaning and detailing every little thing but I know I cannot spend the time this go...
As usual, I have been gathering needed parts over the last couple of years to eventually get to one day.
On the list:
- Front pads and rotors. I knew these needed to be done.
- Rear pads. Turn...
With having the rework on the Tangerine coupe ongoing, these was not a lot of opportunity to do any "major" work on the SVO last year.
I finished the 79 finally last week and found the time to...
The main local Mustang club I belong to and go to the odd meeting and show always do the local World of Wheels and for the last number of years win the club display. This year they were asking for...
For the last while since that show, I have been side-tracked with repairing some front end damage on a 79 coupe I had restored. It took me over a year and a half after the frame work was done!
...
Guys, I haven't updated in a bit and don't visit as much as I used to but the car is still here and I am always picking away!
This happened prior to the show above and ended 2016. Originally...
What are the brand of those?
Are the OEM Ford replacements not recommended? I bought a set a while back and it's still on my list of things I need to do.

This guy is really close to me. The ad is not active but I do not think he sold the car yet. $14000 Canadian (that's only $10500 US!) and comes with NOS Gatorbacks and other parts (just let me have...
