Just picked up a 1986 gt

Thanks guys! Well I still have yet to see it in daylight haha. As far as rear bumper covers and hatchs...Do 79-93 all fit? Trying to find an 86 hatch seems to be pretty hard. thanks

Haha, Sorry I misspelled "just" I was in a rush.

As far as this car goes, Im dont have a whole ton planned for it. Im going to keep it black, always wanted a black 4 eyed hatch. I also have my 86 notchback that im slowly working on. Very slowly actually haha.

I threw the car up on my lift tonight to give it a total looked over since picking it up. Someone awhile back undercoated it and it held up very well! The stuff they used didnt really dry so you can scrape it off. Underneith the coating is shiny black paint! Except for one tiny hole on the drivers side floor board, whih isnt a big deal.

Theres an awful oil leak that has covered the entire lower end of the motor and trans. So i'll clean it the best I can right now and over the winter yank the motor and clean and paint things. At that point i'll freshen up the motor and throw a cam in it.

While swapping rims tonight I noticed that the front wheels hit the struts. Are you supposed to use wheel spacers? Or I must have the wrong cobra wheels. I bought them from a kid off craigslist a few years back and never installed them, they were on his 91 gt and i didnt notice if he had spacers or not.

Thank you guys for all your input and nice words! I'll keep ya posted!
