dash swap

Graydon5oh · Jan 14, 2007

im at the end of a dash swap i have stripped every wire from my 86 vert and put in wires from a 87 hatch it now cranks and runs fine i had to make my own harness for the top my problems currently are headlights tail lights and windows. i had to go buy the blinker switch because i sold the one off my car a long time ago i went and bought one and when i asked for a 87 they showed one from 86 down and the only one they showed that looked to be correct was from a 93 well it doesnt work, also my brake lights are not working also both are getting power at the switches

kind of funny that you put rice killer in your sig, yet you seemed to have done the very thing ricers do, fix up their car with body mods to make it what it's not.

put the 86 nose back on it and imo go back to the original interior. if you want an 87+ car, go buy one.

ok because i make the car into something i like, ok if ur gonna mess with me about changing something so that i like it more ur messing with urself and everybody else that mods a mustang in a clean nice way. its not like im painting the dash yellow or **** like that.... also i got what i could afford at the time i work hard for what i have.....

the ricer reference is ignorant, but his statement in general had a good point

another 4 eye bites the dust

damn where did all my posts go? august2005 and this is my only post?

Slow Five-O · Jan 14, 2007

true... 4 eyes are badass... but to each his own

Graydon5oh · Jan 14, 2007

that is a question that has no definite answer. from what i understand the multifunction swtich changed in various ways over the fox run. i beleive one major difference is that the wiper controls are reversed. 87 has delay setting on top and constant on bottom, and its the reverse for the later models. if you are using 87 wiring, etc. find the corresponding MF switch if you can

thanx ill see what i can do

my statement is dead on, but not brought on with any tact, that I apologize for. I will tell you, you will get NO respect in the mustang world for what you have done, none at all. It will get so bad, you'll be driven to get rid of the car eventually.

dash swaps are ok, although I personally like the 4 eyed dash, nose swaps are NOT ok.

if you must figure out the wiring, (don't post) but search foureyedpride.com archives, there is a full write up on dash swaps.

please consider swapping the right nose back on.

Graydon5oh · Jan 15, 2007

look i dont have the original it was dont before i got it... and i like it im not out to make everybody else happy either and why would i sale my car because what others think. and i have no prob with the 4 eyes if mine were a 4 eye when i got it it probaly would have stayed a 4 eye but for the simple point that i didnt have the money nor the parts to restore it to a 4 eye with both correct bumpers i didnt i bought another 87 front end. u know i dont even know why im preaching to u

Graydon5oh · Jan 15, 2007

This coming from a guy that has a '97 Explorer motor in a Mustang.

. . . if you wanted an Explorer, then you should've bought one.

Total BS. If you're so adamant about the nose swap, then yopu should be the same about the interior. You're such a hypocrite.

Funny. . . no one has disrespected me for transforming a 4-cyl coupe into a 5.0L coupe.

that is because you didnt deface anything

4cyl cars are not embraced by this hobby...the only ones that have any pull are the turbo 2.3 cars and they still arent as strong as the 5.0's.

the 4 eye population is decreasing drastically, its very very hard to find a decent one anymore. if someone made an endangered species list of cars, the 79-86 mustangs would DEFINITELY be on it. however, the 87-93's would not.

it just sucks to see these classics being turned into "just another mustang" that people are fairly used to seeing. when is the last time you happened across a clean 4 eye on the road? ok, now when did you last see a decent aero nose car? my money would be betting on that you have seen an aero nose car much more recently, and more often too.

That's purely your opinion.

....please let someone else have their own opinion that 4-eyed cars are inferior.

they can have that opinion if they want to, all i am saying is that they should leave the 4 eyes to those who appreciate them. 87+ cars are easy to find and affordable, go buy one of those if you like them better.
