Destiny the 86 GT Convertible

[86Fox_Destiny]

What's up y'all. I'm new to the site and new to fox bodies.

I got an 86 GT Convertible that was used as a prop in a concert about a year ago. My plan is to restore it and get it back to running strong. Ultimately, the final step will be removing the artwork with a fresh paint job.

I named the car Destiny because it was pretty much a random coincidence that led me to getting it for free. Super stoked to work on it and eventually take it down Lakeshore Drive in Chicago.

Here to learn, ask questions and share progress.

Welcome to Stangnet!

I hope they didn't give the interior the same treatment!!
It doesn't look like it, thankfully......

Thanks! Happy to be here.

Haha. Good eye.
I definitely lucked out on the interior. It seems to be in pretty good shape.
It mostly needs a good cleaning and possibly a few replacement parts, but it's mostly intact.

It's definitely not a classic look at the moment, but I'm excited to bring back the original beauty.

Welcome!! Never seen anything done like that reminds me of what car companies do with new models to hide the body lines.

Yeah, it looks like it's hiding something alright. Haha.
But, I'm excited to get it cleaned up and running strong.

Wheels look to be billet specialties? Or look similar to one of their designs

 

[AUSTEXLX]

Wow.

Welcome. I'd love to hear more about the history of this car. In which concert was this used? Would it potentially have more of a story if you were to keep it as it is on the outside?

Like the parking lot proof, no waxing, paint job...but it needs some green right there>...
'Despray' the Freebie Convertible. Looking forward to updates and you might need a matching guitar.
Welcome on!
