I like the color and something about the red in the moldings not sure if its good or not but it catches my eye.

yeah when i get my 86 running i really want some black cobra's for it.  not dropping money on anything else until that car runs lol.  these cars are sure getting harder and hearder to find in decent shape by me.... makes me think it might be worth something someday.  That would be the day.

Dont think it looks too bad if the header panel was painted, right now it looks off because it is black. I was thinking of switching my header panel when I dropped my hood on mine, but there were no god ones at the pick n pull, so that fell through.

With the 4-eye header and the aero lower, she looks like she has a lower lip issue, like Buford "Bubba" Blue in Forest Gump (http://"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/")

i'm kinda liking the aero lower with the 4 eye front.

I love the aero rear with the 4 eye front.

I like it the other way around, 83-86 with the 87-88 header panel and bumper

I have a 4 eye front bumper to put on too... im nowhere near done.  I just loved the 4 eye and my 86 so much I want it to live on so to speak.  the aero front bumper and 86 header will never work on the same car anyways. but I didi think it was interesting looking too.

I can always go back if I dont like it anyways.... whats the worst thing that could happen ;) the aero front wont get wrecked sitting in the garage.

Anyone know how to get photobucket off the beta site?  Its really annoying the  out of me.

Anyways if this picture works its just to show that the front fenders and bumper are off so Im getting closer.

I just took the slash out of the first [IMG] tag.

When I'm in my album, in the corner of the picture you are trying to get, there is a star type deal that you hover over and it gives you options.  Click the get links and copy the IMG codes.

so im resurecting this thread, the bird is going to its new home hopefully tonight.  My friend that races rally cars has a really nice section of a shop with about 4 other guys with various drag/drift/rally/autox cars in it.  He said they have 2 spots open so both of our birds can go.  I have the 4 eye swap mostly done last thing to do is wire up the head/turning lights.  Before I button everything up and get ready to spray it I would really like to get my hands on some clean front fenders (83-86) let me know if you can help me out.  Im realllly looking forward to getting some seat time in it its been a long time.
