Welcome to the board. Looks like a pretty solid foundation for a good build.

Welcome, I like the body kit, nice ride. Back in the 90's my t-bird had the same wheels on it, that's cool.

AFAIK all body kits are aftermarket, though some may have been dealer installed...

There was a new set of those headlight covers on Ebay for $20 last week. Or best offer. I KNEW I should have bought them.
Nice car. I had wheel like that on mine when I found mine at the boneyard. They have long since been gone. I gave them to a local Stang guy. LOL. Keep us posted on your progress, and toss out some interior pics as well. Welcome aboard.

I agree with that. These body kits pop up from time to time. I've found, and sold, 4 sets in the last 8 or 9 years. I have seen many more, but they were too costly. I never gave more then $50 for a set. I'm really cheap.

The ones you want are the Marchals. They command top dollar. If you can get a set clean for under $100, you'll make a decent profit on a flip.... Just sayin.
I've seen the entire light kits with the harness and covers included in the Ford Motorsport box go for as high as $750.

GTS does in fact still sell the light covers for the 4 eyes as well as the 87-88's. I bought both sets last year.

The hood will swap with no problems. I believe someone on here has done a similar front swap but I believe the headlight wiring has to be modified. Me personally I would keep the 4 eye front. ( head lights much easier to get). You can also swap the hood hinges if your car still has the hood prop. There are other parts you could grab as well... Sway bars, Rear end etc.... Keep us posted.
