    Hey guys! My friend and I were given an 89 fox from his dad and its been sitting in his driveway untouched for six almost seven years now, We aren't much for car guys but wanna fix it up. The biggest problems we've encountered are... all fluids need to be replaced (along with gas, But we aren't sure if there is gas in the car to begin with.) and a new battery. Other wise all the indicator lights work, signals and headlights. it will also turn over if you give the little bugger a boost. but thats as far as we've gotten, and we are haveing mechanics looking at it when we get a new battery to see if its worth fixing up.

    Any suggestions?
