Title: I cant leave well enough alone (bunch of pics)
Post by: Bane on January 03, 2006, 09:23:09 AM
Cus I took the front end off the new 90 GT, Good cause though, get to that in a minute. Getting to good at this taking foxes apart stuff. Bumper cover, header panel, headlights out in about 30min...

fender was pushed in when I bought it:

Found the header panel to be cracked so I took the front end off:

So I found the old header panel and driver fender from the 88:

found the fiberglass bumper reinforcment cracked had to swap that out to dont have pics of everything going back together yet though.
cant wait for my cousin and her boyfriend to get their kids 4wheeler out of the shed, So I can have more room to work in there until my carport has walls...

Ordered a stalker front bumper and that should be here this week, then im waiting on funding for a hood and possibly a 93 cobra spoiler, then by that time it should be around tax time to get the car repainted :)

Wow those new headlights sure look nice.  I wish someone made them for Cougars and T-Birds.

So what are you thinking of paint. Solid black?

i realy like the color combo....would you be pissed if i stole it? im trying too come up with a good color too go on the bottom of the car. its all black now. im thinking silver blue or mayby just silver/grey and the red/maroon you have going there looks pretty slick as well...

some 93 cobras would really make the car nice. bc i dont think they make welds that large. and a nice size wheel will help the car look Really nice.

not bad here is my lil stang LOL. These are the last pics i have taken of  my 88. Its current;y in the garage in pieces awaiting me to finish my 5 lug and rear disc, the rest of the Saleen ground effects and to pay for my 18's.

Good luck on your stang it looks like it'll be nice when you are done. You picked a good time to get the stalker front cover, i heard Cervinis just redesigned it due to some problems they were having with them fitting aroun the bumper support and saggin in the middle.
