I am parting out a 87 vert for some stuff for my 86. I have a few questions as to what to take. Are the front brakes larger on the 87, also does it have larger A arms, the wheels seem to stick out farther on the 87. I don't know much about the car I just bought it and it was a 2.3 converted to a 5.0 Also I am looking for info on how to remove the top from either of them. I also do not know how to remove the dash and center console on the 87. What all should I take from the 87 I have to get it out of my garage. I plan on taking the following. (allready no motor, trans, exhaust)

front end
fenders
hood
gauge cluster
dash
center console
top
doors and panels
taillights
deck lid
rear with factory discs(from a turbo coupe)
roll bar
carpet
:SNSign:


should I bother with any of the suspension or not?
It has gt suspension all around but my car allready has aftermarket stuff don't know if it is worth anything

Brakes

Bigger front brakes and new version of the master cylinder, and other spindles/struts IF its a GT or LX HO Mustang. ( 10.84inch front rotors )
If you can, install the compleate front wheel system, breaks and struts to your -86. ( if it is in good condition. )
