What I don't understand is how people can draw the line at one point but let others slide? He is already changing a lot in the car(a 4.6 in it). Why not make it what you want while doing it. I personally wouldn't change the bumper, but I like 4 eye cars. By the true definition of what everyone is saying that car should be put back 100% stock. In fact any modification to any of our cars is wrong. His time, his money, his car, his way of doing things is the way I look at it.
The most under used thing on this site is the ignore list. I found it years ago, and mine grows with time.
I have an 85 GT nose in pretty decent shape that I will sell you cheap if you promise to use it on this car and not go aero nose. I agree the stock 81 nose isnt the most attractive, but save yourself the work and still have a unique car that is still 4-eye and use an 85-86 nose, or even an 82 GT nose like 85_SS_302_Coupe!
DO IT!!
the 81 nose looks like ass, but im still gonna have to sayon the aero conversion.
Both the 2.3T and the 5.0 were available in the PC. The 2.3T came only with a five-speed manual and the 5.0 could have either a four-speed manal or a three-speed auto.
The 2.3T was available in various forms from '79 through '86. The most notable are the SVOs and Turbo GTs.
BUTCHER??? Who are you calling a butcher????? I work at a salvage yard, 10 years and counting that my dad has owned for 17 years. This car would have been stripped, all parts would be sold, then the perfectly solid, NOTCHBACK body would be crushed!!! One more notch, GONE FOREVER, not destroyed like you think!!!!! My other notch, I have, same thing, it would have been sold for parts and crushed if it wasn't for me. 2.3L auto wrecked to 5.0L 5 speed conversion....98 % factory!!!!
I am the one keeping foxes alive!! When this car is done, that will be number 4 that I have restored and put back on the road!!! I have also restored 7 other Mustangs 94-95, 97 Cobra, and a 00 GT. All that would have been gone.
It's people like you that rain on Mustang enthusiasts parade!!:damnit:
79 5.0pace car....Did you see my before and after shots of my current notch?? Yeah, that was done is 14 days. Engine swap, motor and trans swap, fixing damage, body and paint and rebuilt trans!!! I am a work horse, and you should respect that.
If you knew that information, why'd you leave it out? Anybody that doesn't know any better would think they ONLY came with a 2.3T, especially when you're telling him his 5.0 PC is "converted".I've been around the Mustang game for long enough to know that information, I had assumed that being on a mustang board and writing what I did would go without saying.

How am I supposed to know what you do or do not know when you only tell half the story?
what's funny, is that he's going to get this same blitz of responses EVERYWHERE he goes.
DON'T like the responses buddy?? get used to it. You ARE a butcher. I don't care if you saved that car or not. I'd rather see it get crushed than to have to live a life of wrong identity.
Everywhere you go, they'll make a complete and utter mockery of you for what you have done. You will get NO respect, period.
It's gonna be rough dude, and this thread showcases that fact.
Personally, the 81 nose grew on me, and I love it now. An 81 notch is so distinctive, that I wouldn't change it for the world. It's something more unique than nearly every other notch on the road.
I'm personally working on acquiring a 79 notch, and I wouldn't change a thing to the interior or exterior.
As far as interior's....I'm not much of a fan for that tempo interior in the 87+ mustangs. The leather seats are nice, but that's about it. Nothing spells muscle car more than the dash and door panels of the 79-86 mustangs.
Make sure you do a thread once the car is complete... i love progress threads like these

That is the most useless post I've seen on the history of stangnet. With that much drama you deserve both to be a guest on Oprah, and a book about how much your life has sucked.what's funny, is that he's going to get this same blitz of responses EVERYWHERE he goes.
