Wonderful topic!

I just signed up on the forum so I could follow the progress on your Fox restoration.
I dug my old Fox out of the garage yesterday and think I will do the same thing.

You have inspired me!

My next step now the front end is almost complete is to rub down and polish the side bumpers



al rubbed down and ready to polish





fitted







i also fitted the ball joints

i started work on the gearbox shafts

i split them in half and cleaned out the moly grease,this stuff is hard to shift even with a wd-40 soak overnight.





i managed to get the worst out then lobed them in the us cleaner for a good steaming



they came out well in the end,i didnt replace with moly grease i used graphite grese instead.
i put some o rings on the end of the rubber boots to help seal them better from dirt and whatever else is likely to damage these guys





retightend sleves

i fitted these lugs,if your running a vintage 6v hump pack or is it a 7.2v... i dont think you fit them? .im using a 7.2v stick pack so on they go





i will at some point make a case for a standard stick pack so it fits snuggly in the space

Nice looking resto!
Have you seen the write-up on the re-re version 'Novafox'?
Page 56 in this month's Racer magazine.
Always wanted one in the 80's... but may consider the new release

Hi porsche959boy

i havent seen the write up of the novafox,unfortunatly i dont subscribe to the mag,how did they rate it?

i was lucky enough to be brought one from my other half a few months back,me and my boy have taken it out loads,its a great car.

im glad you like the resto mate,its taken me a while to get it to this point,im still undecided wot do do with it when its done....shelfer or runner

its a tough one,when you put so much time/effort into something do you take it out to get wrecked or chuck it on a shelf to look at
