hey all, i just got an 86 gt v8 5 speed, car is rough, but with some time and money i'll have her fixed up and ready by spring.
car runs, i'm doing some tune up, i bought a new coil, plugs, wire, etc...
the car is primer gray, so i'm not worry about paint yet.
i also got some weather strip for the hatch, and i noticed that the outer stips from the windows are really dried and loose, so i looked them up online, and they are like 80 bucks, i was wondering if anyone knows where to get them cheaper.
exhaust: stock for now, but my friend said that he might know someone that has one for cheap...
brakes: i intall new rotors, pads and bearings today.
tomorrow i'll do some cleaning and cover some little holes where the mouldings where...
i'll post some pics too
thanks
javier

thanks, i also own an 02 svt focus 6 speed, so i kinda know i'll have to keep up with it but it'll be fun, i just need little things, and one of those would be the weather strips or outer something that they call it...

thanks again

50 resto is the best place.. prices may be expensive but they have great products and very fast with shipping

weatherstripping is gonna be pricey no matter where you get it. bite it now and buy reputable pieces from 50resto or blueoval
