I still need to get the airdam and three-piece spoiler. Just saving up is all.

I need a smaller size tire too. Rims are staying though. I don't care who likes them. They look good to me.

In the future, please PM offers like these. Thanks.

I've already committed to buying one from someone on here. Hold onto it though. I might know someone who might want it.

Is this the "three piece" spoiler that you are referring to? If so, I think it would look more more at home on your car than the Saleen spoiler.

I will not pay that price for that spoiler.

just bought t top capri

hello i am thinking of making a nice hybrid car out of a gs t top capri i just bought as the nose is in **** condition. it would require bumper cover and headlight panel and trim as they are just beat. looks like a idiot owned it before as the floor on the interior has what appears to be a dumpster turned over on it. including cigarette butts. i own a complete lx parts car. now i know there is nobody on this forum that would begrudge me this but if you have a nice front clip, you might change my mind. the orange car in this thread looks ok. but i was thinking more in order of bubble back aero nosed front lx style and cobra r hood no sissy fake vents just smooth rounded cowl to offset the bubble back. the car is a black car and will remain a black car. the rims will be 16 inch ponies that are black and the interior is the halo style. but if it makes you guys happy i am willing to 89 pajama red interior it aka porno red. as i have this setup as well waiting for me to pull the trigger. as for drive train i have just assembled a lowly 427 stroker short block. and yes it will be carbed. let the mayhem begin. i like all the cars and all the looks. its fun.

Hey frankenstang, I'm currently repainting a 82 GT in my shop. Were probably going to be getting a new rear spoiler since the original has a slight crack in it, fixable but cheaper to replace. If we do end up getting it the owner of the car would probably be happy to sell the cracked one to you. The side peices are perfect and the main piece is just cracked a lil on the one end. I could find out for you if you want.

Coming into this thread and spouting that blasphemy is just... BLASPHEMY.

Thank you!

I need to take some new pics. I'd like to get it sanded down. I want to buy a sander and strip off most of the paint, fix some problem areas, primer it and get it painted. I know a guy at work who painted his own cars. I saw one of them. I definitely approve. He said he'd do it free.

... and no I'm not letting him PIITB!
