Default little score today

so went to the boneyard today in search of spindles off a 94+ stang... those were nowhere to be found, every sn had the front end pirated already... sadface...

but came across a basically mint 1981 hatch with a straight six... was a sad sight, considering this thing was flawless and bone stock, down to the radio. anyway, i snagged the taillights off of it because they were flawless, would have taken the steering wheel too, but i didnt have a steering wheel puller.

will these fit right/ look right on a newer fox, I clipped the bulbs/wiring harness too so I have the wiring if I need to.

if i dont put them on my fox i'll throw them on ebay, someone is going to want them.

I wish I coulda scooped up the whole car, sadly, the place i go to wont salvage the entire car... they just wont, it could be a 1971 hemi cuda convertible and they wont salvage the body...

anyway, some pics, they are almost perfect, minimal wear for being almost 30 years old

any glare is result of the flash...







stang got a bath after the pic was taken... rain yesterday + this pollen hellstorm has been terrible


wont work with my car after all, different mounting points and the holes stamped in the rear panel dont match up with where the plugs and bulbs are.

if I had a drill, a hole saw and a steady hand I could make it work, but I really dont feel like cutting up my car
