ShoMeSomeFun Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I just purchased an 86 mustang gt, it needs a hood, but i was wondering what i would need to swap the front end to a 87-93 front end, im thinking just the lights and bumber and a new hood.is there more?

Ziggy1647545504 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm not sure about the fenders, but I know you'll need the hood, front bumper cover, absorber, and maybe the reinforcement too. For the lights, you'll need the header (headlight mounting panel), and you'll have to hack into your wire harness to change to the correct connectors for the single bulb/dual element set up in the later bodies. If you're changing to a GT front end, it'll look pretty funny if you don't complete the job by adding the correct cladding all around the car too. That means getting both rocker moldings, the GT rear cover, and all of the associated mounting hardware too. I'm with rl though, I like the 4 eyed monsters.

blazinjr Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I was going to do the same thing to my old 83 GT I had. I went with a 1986 nose instead. 85 and 86 Mustangs are my favorite fox bodies, just because of the nose. Matching all the molding sucks too. One thing that looks very good is putting the little side windows from the 87-93's in the 79-86's where the louver looking things are.

ShoMeSomeFun Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I dont know i was being a sellout, i'll guess i'll keep it the same, but im having trouble finding an aftermarket hood, or even a decent replacement, i have a replacement that i paid 250 for out of texas, but it was to beat up been in a fire and would take about fifty pounds of bondo to fix. Glad to see that people like the 4 lights. Anybody know of any websights places i could get an aftermarket hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I think you should, because the "4 eyed" mustangs don't look as good as the 87 to 93 fox body. [ 30. April 2005, 06:44 PM: Message edited by: BDHG940 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
