86 front end conversion....
Ok i have read some people dont like the conversion but hey i wanna check it out. I got a buddy who can get me all the parts needed. I have a 86 LX w/ 5.0 motor in it. I want the 87-93 front end, I have a few plans for this that will blow your mind away so someone please explain what exactly i need to do. fenders,hood,heeadlights,bumper,wiring all of it. or if you have a web site that will go step by step on how to that would be awesome thanks.
SELL THE CAR! most of these conversions look like a hack job because people do not realize that EVERY peice of moulding and trim is different between the 2 years. There is a growing market for the 1985-86 Mustang
He's right. Also besides the molding to make it look year correct you would need to change the Quarter Glass (A real pain by the way because some holes are not there), the taillights, and such. I have an 85 that I just put in the Quarter glass because its sleek looking and the four eyed cars are not common anymore. You truly do not see them anymore. I would change the tails and the quarter glass to save hundreds, if not a $1000 just to get that look. to each its own.
Nick, I just popped in a pair of SVO sail panels painted black for the same basic look...there is talk over at www.foureyedpride.com that a guy is about to make reproductions in fiberglass. As for the 87-93 quater windows, don't forget to mention that the interrior panels will have to be changed too since they fit in different

There is the link to my site. I forgot about the panels. Im trying to make something to fit in there. I had a gray interior and am slowly changing it to black. I got my new dash cover in the mail yesterday from Mustangs Unlimited. Once I get the interior done I am going to work on the motor. I saw on ebay the engines that a Nascar builder sells. Wonder if their any good?
