I was going to say.... That's a pretty front clip you got there. I knew where that one was going. Nice choice!

Yep. They are included. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. It needs to be built. And 82 T-Top is worth saving. I’ll put it back and either hook it up with a customer or I’ll build another one for myself
It needs to become an 80 T-Top.
I think that was the first year they started putting the valences etc., back on the car.
I was thinking the same thing. If I built it for myself, it would get those graphics or my spin on those graphics.It needs to become an 80 T-Top.
Time for some cutting and drilling. Like drilling out 100 rivets and spot welds
Making me want to do this now..... almost. Im no body guy.
This is gonna kick ass.
This is gonna kick ass.
Been working on the car for 1 week and it’s been 8 days since pick up. Here are my results.
I know I tend to be on the ocd side but I have to say the “factory t-top install was horrible. They butchered the car to install this t-top frame and setup. There are all sorts of window bead shoved into the massive holes they’ve left. Metal just hammered and shoved out of the way. And then the top top frames are not even coated with anything on the insides.I will never buy a factory t-top car again after really dissecting a factory one. So needless to say I am going to do this t-top setup the right way. I’m going to be tearing apart every piece and perfecting it and coating it. Here’s the first piece
Got a couple hrs in today and worked on the t-top trim and weatherstrip retainers. Got it all drilled into the car and mounted where it’s “supposed” to be but after I’m completely done with the t-top install I’m going to be reshaping and reworking a lot of these factory pieces to my specs.

Looking good! I think it's going to look very trim and stately with the 4 eyed front end. Good call! Which quarter windows are you planning to go with?
It’s getting the 86 quarter windows with black trim. I’m goin all 4 eye stuff on this one except interior and drivetrain. The color I’m using is going to need a lot of black to contrast it.
I did the taillights a few days ago for the car.
Used 86 taillights but I did my patented smoke on them
So as a lot of you know. I’m big into cool seats. There are a lot of options. Obviously I won’t be doing any form of stock seats. I’ve done a ton of recaros for my cars so need something different. I have just the seats. New old stock flo fits directly from the 80s. Same seats used in the fox saleens. I picked these up about 3 yrs ago just for a future car build and I think these will fit the build. But since I paid $300 for them shipped. I’ll have to add that to the build costs.
I need time to soak in the headrest. 
The seat itself is not too unlike 86 GT seats other than the color.

This is the same seats in my 89 Saleen. Saleen swapped them out for a fishnet headrest but I already have like 10 cars with fishnets. Even fishnets get old after a while. I do have those head rests for these seats but I thought about using the solid and doing something cool with the Upholstery.I need time to soak in the headrest.

Probably so cheap because they misspelled " affordable " on the box .
Unless " afforhable " is a some term used in the seat mfg. world.

Well, they were on eBay in like 2015/16 and it was some warehouse clear out deal. Of course I have certain key words I search everyday for deals and bam...They had a ton of sets for $400 shipped. I was like how much for 10 sets shipped. $300 a set and there you go.
