Be careful how you throw around that term "hack Job" haha.
I also do not condone Cobra or Saleen clones, for the most part. Again, not something I'd do to my car, but if done well, I'd have to respect it. I'm actually so irrational, that I'm seriously considering grinding and painting over the "COBRA" text on my new calipers before I set about doing my brake swap this fall, because I hate the idea of having anything "Cobra" on a GT. I'd rather just say they are "twin piston PBRs."
Good point, and I agree...dont worry bout the haters and those who say dont do it is what I mean, its YOUR car not theirs.
Frankenstang...its in your name LOL, if you like the way your car looks and drives and feels, then who cares what it is or isnt, if not, make the changes necessary to get it there!Show cars/garage and trailor queens are neat, as are low low mile originals, but for those of us who have your everyday, run of the mill Fox, do what you like to make it just that...what you like

I see what your gettin at Frankenstang, why dont you just put the Capri nose back on? Capri's look awesome to me and they are starting to gain popularity again!!!

He asked for opinions and that's what he got.o.k fu*k this, this thread went to *****, lets start a new one with no other people butting in about stuff other than to help people doing this.
lets start fresh, other post got pretty messy, with other people talking about stuff other than, the main post, i am doing the same thing right now, as far as i can see,
1. front bumper shocks are diffrent from the 4 eye cars, they bolt on diffrent
2. the 4 eye has a steel bumper, compared to fiberglass for the aero, with both are diffrent designs.
3. after that a 4 eye front end cover should fit on easily, maybe just have to mod something for the fiberglass under the fender, not a big deal
4. the 4 eye hood will fit on perfectly without any mods.
5. the 4 eye heater assembly is diffrent the aero cars dosent have the right hole location for the heatercore, or the wiring harness, on the pasenger side. i will include more as i go further.
Can you post pics of the cars?
Have either of you been over to Foureyedpride at all?
Now if I smashed my front bumper and needed a new one, but it came hard to find parts after you and all your friends started converting all your cars to 4-eyes, I'd be pissed
I'm pretty sure you don't mean me, the OP, but in case: here's where I'm starting from:
There's where you're mistaken, you assumed I have friends.
Yeah, I used to feel that way too but then being hassled by emissions techs and being pulled over for no reason because the cops think I have a stolen Capri plate on my Mustang. It's a hassle I'd rather do without.
This is my Mercury Capri.
Yeah, I was talking to you. That looks like a nice starting point. Make sure to keep us updated as you make progress. The 85/86 front end is one of my favorites.
you didnt happen to have your car at mustang week this year did you?
