Default 1986 4EYE Notch

Just wondering about installing the 87 to 93 quater windows on this car. I like the aero windows and mirrors on the 87 to 93 cars and I know how to do the front clip and tail light change. Will the newer style quater windows go into the 86 body?

They fit with a few mods. You'll have to change the interior panels to '87-'93 style since the window opening is different and the brackets are exposed if you don't. You also have to drill a new hole or two and make a couple of simple brackets. Fairly easy to do, but I think I'd rather just use SVO style sail panels next time. They look nice and are a straight swap.

i agree. 4eyes just look better than the aeronose front end. unless of course your front end is damaged, then i can see where you might want to change it.

but they are harder to come by, there are tons of aeros in junkyards compared to the 4eyes.

if i ever bought a 87+ fox, i would so ditch that for a 4 eye front end.

and i love how they used the 83-86 style tail lights on the 93 cobra.



sorry. im just prejudiced towards my cars body style
