I've seen that done to MN12's before. First time I'd ever seen it done to a Fox...

I thought those kits were only available for the MN12's? maybe he modified the kit to work??

Either way, poor tc.

That's just wrong. Even the kit for the MN12 is wrong.
Who came up with this idea? It doesn't flow or look right with the fox/MN12 body at all. :yuck:

That's kinda like that kit they make that you can put on S-10's, to make it look like a '48-51 Chevy pickup. Just doesn't look right.

There's an MN12 running around here with that kit. I think it looks pretty good. It was orange with ghosted pearlecent flames, but it was recently repainted white. Still ooks cool though. I get a pic next time I see it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I agree with you, the guy most likely stuffed the front end and he decided to do something really cool and unique.
