Hell yeah😎

It's coming don't worry, I have more plans for that build and more events I want to go to! I have something big planned that has been taking up more time than I expected but I'm going to show you all soon!

Crazy that they were so cheap a few years ago now they've gotten so hard to find! I've always loved the coupes, so stoked to be building this one!

@@Four_Eyes that's a very good point as well. I do worry that I'll hate the look of a square tubing rad support but maybe I can do something to make it more visually appealing. Definitely the biggest build I've taken on so far, but really excited to see what new skills I have to learn to finish it! Thanks for watching, looking forward to the next chapter of your build as well!

Thanks dude!!

Me too! I hope this thing feels like a rocket! Thanks for watching

@@LooseFab well you got a follower for the build bud

​@@PaulsensGarageI appreciate the support!

Not on this one!! My mustang has them though

That's a great idea!! You should go in and at least ask, might be a cool story! Let me know how it goes!

heck yeah dude thanks for the kind words! Those v6s actually make some pretty good power, i bet that thing is still a hoot! keeping it all stock for now or are you planning to do any mods to it?

@@drec7366 glad to hear it! This setup is still going strong and I'm very happy with it. Would love to know how yours turns out!

I have certainly gotten a lot better at tig welding, I wish somebody would have told me this sooner! Great advice!

Dang what all have you got done to make that sort of power at the wheels? 👀 I bet that things rowdy

@@LooseFab built engine with turbo, cams fuel upgrades etc

I had definitely been considering it! I have a buddy with a new edge and he upgraded to 4.10s and finds that they are a bit too short for the tracks we drive.. Do you think 3.73s would be a good compromise?

@@LooseFab I have 3;73s in my 3 valve and they still fry the tires really well. That would probably be good for you if 4;10s are too short

@@3vGuru okay awesome! I'll have to add that to the list of future mods for me! What else have you got done to your 3v?

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed!!

Doing a build this quick was a first for me. I actually had to sell a different project (my ae86) which was a sad day, but it allowed me to ball out on a lot of parts all at once. I'd make a list of all the parts you want for your car, and maybe break it up into 'phases'. might be easier to decide what to buy and when!

I definitely agree! People love or hate the body style but I love them, and hard to beat for the price! v8 power without having to pay the coyote tax. and like you said, parts are cheap and plentiful! You're definitely right about leading the wheel, apparently these cars are notorious for having little to no self steering (something to do with the rack). I have the caster maxed out with the fdf plates right now. I've been trying to get the hang of left foot braking and how to use the handbrake but there is definitely a learning curve to it! Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching dude!

@@LooseFab interesting, did not realize the chassis was prone to low self steer. I’m sure the boys at FDF will figure something out eventually for them. Josiah is a madman. The best looking car is one that works and has somebody who can wheel. Both my drift cars when I bought them I was meh on them, but I ended up loving them after working on them and driving them for ever.

@@SDSGarage89 Yeah, it was something I was aware of before buying it just from watching other guys on here with them, they all seem to mention it! I'm a big fan of your foxbody, what made you meh on it when you first got it?

@@LooseFab I didn’t have anything against them, I just wasn’t super drawn to them. I was not actively looking for a Foxbody when I bought mine but wanted a JZ, just never thought it would be in Foxbody. Definitely like foxbody’s now after driving it for a while. Had the same experience with my E46.

That's awesome to know, thanks for the advice! This car is getting some hard miles on it so I'll have to make sure to stay on top of those oil changes! Thanks for watching!

Thanks dude! Tons of episodes out for this car now, it turned out really cool

I do have a set of them (I didn't know they were pricey) but they don't work on the 4 eye fenders

My frontal lobe finished developing and now I'm considering putting the original front back on lol. Now that my S197 is "finished" I'm also considering making this the primary focus of the channel

I usually use pennzoil, but I don't have a lot of brand loyalty when it comes to fluids!

It's crazy that one platform lasted that long! I asked around on some Ford groups and learned that, and the redesign was actually a big deciding factor for me to go with the S197!

Best purchase I've ever made on there for sure!! Except maybe when I bought a whole bunch of barn find rx7s🤣

I'm glad I'm not the only one! The upside is we get to see some of thr wild new stangs they're coming out with, even if I can't afford them lol!

Definitely got lucky dodging the rust up here in Canada as well! Not easy to do but I guess you get that better than anyone lol! Just gotta keep your eyes peeled and hop on a good deal when it comes up! Good luck with the search!

@@LooseFab I'm afraid I already used up all my luck lol. My current car is a 1999 V6 I'm using to learn manual before I step up to a more powerful 3 valve later on. It had 50k miles and absolutely no rust, for $5k usd. May not have very much in terms of power but at least I have no worries when it comes to corrosion till I can find an equally clean three valve.

Thanks dude! You still loving yours? I had no idea that I'd be such a big fan of the 3v but now that I own one, I am definitely a big fan!

@LooseFab Absolutely! It makes me super excited to get up and drive every day even it its just to work. I haven't done any mods (about to do springs and tint) but I see it as the perfect blank canvas car. I'm glad yo hear you're enjoying yours!

It's got about 65k miles!

@@LooseFabI payed 5800 for a 08 with 109k miles about three months ago🥲

@@danearias8325 I'm willing to bet it was in nicer shape than this one! This one's got lots of stone chips and the like. Comparison is the thief of joy, just because this one was cheaper doesn't mean yours wasn't still a smoking deal!

Damn I paid 8 for mine with 63k. I guess it depends on what area you live in. Even if it wasn't the best deal, I'd do it again, I love that car

this is definitely tricky to do without seeing what youre working with! but i did some googling and re-read my holly manual. Red to battery- is this from the relay? Is the ecu itself run straight to the battery? (it needs to be) orange wire - I dont see that in the manual. is that coming from the holly or is that wire coming from the relay? black wire. doesnt take much to show good resisitance, try re doing the ground somewhere else. The relay is grounded, does your fuel pump need to be grounded as well? Check for power at the relay and see if the relay isnt activating or if it just isnt getting power.

Thanks dude, it's a pretty wicked pic right

You in America? I'm up in Canada and they're really abundant up here! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support!

Hey thanks dude! Those v6s are still pretty quick! I'd definitely start out by getting it look good, maybe give it a wash and buff, detail the interior etc. If you want to spend some money I'd start with wheels and coilovers!

@@LooseFab thanks man love what you do🫶

Thanks dude that definitely would have been me! I have a few videos of ripping this car and my ae86 in my channel if you haven't seen those yet! What were you driving there?

@@LooseFab I actually was talking with u and Devan holdaway the one event

@@IgnitedGarageKustoms oh sick! Small world! Have to come by and say hi again next time

Those zip ties have saved me more times than I can count! So handy when you don't have an extra set of hands lol

@@LooseFab completely agree! Thanks for the simple idea for our bag of tricks!

Thanks dude I appreciate that! How do you like the ecoboost? And what sort of build would you do with the gt?

@@LooseFab The ecoboost is great! Good gas and still pretty quick but if your the type of person to love the sound of a V8 then it’ll eventually get to you and every time i see a gt go by i get jealous lol not going to lie but jealous in a good way if you know what i mean

@@thasl1ck yeah man that's sick! I imagine ecoboost would be an awesome daily driver, you get the best of both worlds!

Also try swinging it a lot more

Greta advice I'll try to do that! When you say swing it more you mean just add more angle?

Glad you found your way back! Car had a ton of changes in a very short amount of time lol. Thanks for sticking around!

I have a video talking about them as well as the whole suspension setup on the car if you haven't seen it! The new wheels are 18x9.5 +22 and they fit perfect Imo. Thanks for watching

Send me a dm on Instagram and I'll just send them to ya

Man I thought I was going crazy when I was struggling this hard, glad I'm not alone! I have to check out the seat mount as an option, that sounds promising! Thanks for the idea!

@@LooseFab no problem! I am thinking of getting some custom lines just to extend the length

As an s197 owner with the scotidi lines sitting in a package in my backseat... did you guys figure out a sure fire way to run them? Also, what's your master cylinder/ handbrake orientation like? Both forward under the dash on the driver side like in the video? Keep up the good work and videos regardless 👍🤙

@@cbitty381 I still haven't installed them, been really busy working on something behind the scenes to show you guys.. If you want to see how I installed it I have a whole video on that on my channel. It's in the interior video one!

@LooseFab welp, i know what im watching at work tonight 😂☠️👍

thanks dude! You wont regret it, these cars are a hoot

Thanks dude I appreciate it! Was frustrating messing up in competition like that but it was still a blast! I definitely have the bug to do it again
