Default Nose Job

whats up guys im a new member and I was wondering if anyone could help me with something. I have got an 92 5.0 lx hatch that was totaled and i recently bought a 86 5.0 gt hatch. My question is would it be possible to convert the nose of the 86 to the nose on the 92. If so would this be an easy weekend job or is it more difficult than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

i dont know if i would have gone as far as to say extinct, but i definately agree that the 4 eye setup just isnt eye appealing. it looks like a delorean

you know.. when i was looking for a mustang i was looking for an 87-93 because i used to not like the 4-eyes... but i came across my 86...and i tell you what.. i am really glad i got it. they are getting rare.. and.. pretty much everybody and there uncle has a 87-93... tellme.. when was the last time you were driving down the road and passed a 4-eye stang.. and when was the last time you drove down the road and passed an 87-93 stang? i honestly wouldnt trade my 4-eye for an 87-93 even if you paid me. i love my 4-eye.. and they are becomming more rare every day... but hey.. to each his own. i love 87-93's..dont get me wrong.. just the 4-eye nose grew on me and i am glad to have it now.


4-EYE's 4-EVA!!!!![sm=icon_rock.gif]
