Don't know how I missed this thread. I remember you talking about just picking up a T-Top in my build thread.
You're way past me! Hahaha. The car looks great, and your progress on it is amazing. Keep it up!
Oh.. and much like you, I've never seen a working hood light.
Consider me signed up to watch this project grow!

Nothing super exciting to report, but I did finally get my new fog lights installed. Here's a pic taken before I waxed it, with the old headlights, and no fog lights, compared with how it looks now.
If you've never replaced your fogs, the brackets for the repros have a tab that either needs to be ground off, or you have to reuse your old ones. Maybe the later GTs have a tab that helps it line up, but the 1987 doesn't. Here's a picture of the repro so you can see what I'm talking about. That tab that sticks up isn't on the original.
Also, I replaced my driver's side door handle bezel.

Took it for a cruise for a couple hours tonight.
Not really a big deal, but the rubber pad on the clutch pedal cracked and fell off.
Every time I drive it, something breaks, LOL.
Guess it's part of the "charm" of a 27 year old car!

Replaced the old fan today.
The original was stamped Feb. 10 1987.
I kept reading stories of fans giving out and taking the radiator with them when they go, so I figured go ahead and replace it.
Here's the old one:
