Default Congradulate me

ive been into dsms for the past little while but have always had a secret love for mustangs epecially the 5.0's so just figured id annouce that today i bought a 1984 mustang 5 spd HO 302 hatch in desperate need of minor body work and paint for 1300 canadian so like 900 american, i figured that now since i have the stang i would sell the talon ( 95 talon tsi with some minor mods) and put some money into making the mustang the way it should be, a question i have is how hard is it to change the front clip to that of a 87+ im not sure if i like the square lights or not yet,, has anyone done this swap?

I bet some other members will try to change your mind. I dig the four-eyes, myself.

And congrats on the purchase. My guess is that you'll like the GT better than the Talon.

ill kill you if you take off the 4 eye front end. i will come to canada and nah i wont kill you but you should leave it on, 4 eyes are sweet. i didnt like em at first but theyll grow on ya. if you're gonna sell your talon i'd take that money and do some suspension work and some engine work. congrats though

congrats on the switch... you'll love the V8. As for the swap, don't do it... 4 eyes are ugly at first, but they grow on you. I'm tempted to go findmyself a 4eye for winter and sell my civic.
