new 1986 mustang gt owner
Bought a 86 gt and the old owner painted all the interior white and maroon, any thoughts on repainting? Looked into replacing all of it but can't get everything and it will be really expensive. Any help is appreciated. They used a high gloss paint on dash. Console. Door panels. Trim

Ya pretty sure guy used auto paint too. Pita to remove. Even scuffing it to repaint isn't working so well. Have had no luck finding parts car. I painted most the trim last night. Still need to remove inside quarter panels and do them. Also gotta do console and dash. Think it's ok to leave dash in and mask everything off and paint,? Planning on buying new dash cover. Also used door panels to paint to match. I feel $175 is a lot for panels. Camaro parts are soo much cheaper lol

What do you guys think about fixing this rear bumper/ground effect? Was cracked when I bought it. Cracked right where there are screws. Not sure if precious owner added screws or what. Also here are pictures of the interior. All interior is out now except for seats and dash. I'm getting rid of the white leather seats and probably going to scuff and paint dash whole still in car. Where can I buy a new dash top? Just the top piece. Ebay has covers and mats but are the covers what I'm looking for? Here are pictures
