New & Improved 86 Mustang

back2fox · Apr 16, 2010

I had an '86 hatch that was wrecked a couple of years ago. The car was totaled but the front bumper and hood was still in good shape. I really wanted a coupe so I found one. I slowly started to build this one using the hood, front bumper, and engine from the wrecked one.

Some changes to the interior.

Now there was a lot of work done in between these pics, but this is where I'm at now.

I like those rims. It's just something about black rims with chrome lips. I put those same front seats in my 86, they came out of my ....totalled 90.
Nice job I love seeing four-eyes reborn

Now this is a 4-eye swap I can accept! Perfect execution, and great resurrection of a good 4 eye. Well done sir.

Yeah I wish. It will stay closed until I turn a corner.

No, not yet. It's still on my never ending list.

how did you wire in that shift light?

Pratice · Apr 16, 2010

I like the shift light location.. It looks like a Raptor.. From what I understand its only a 3 wire hook up.
Ground
power
coil output on the pcm harness.

More Project Pics

I tried the QA1 k member but after all that work I decided to return to the original. I probably could have spent more money on their tubular arms to make it work but I was on a budget.
