I would say that the people running the FEP site are little over the top I tried to part a salvage title 86 bad not safe for highway travel with the rocker pushed in buckled floors and quarters and was told it should be fixed sorry salvaged title is a no go for me to dump money into but to each his own . And after all the run around and proving the car was junk they barely bought any parts it was like you were black listed I get the save em idea but come on

FEP has rules for parting out. The first time you posted your part out you didn't follow the rules, so it was deleted. The second time you did follow the rules it was left alone and it is still up.

FEP does not accept swaps either way.

The damage on the '90 doesn't really look that bad. I agree with the idea of selling the '90 and building the '86 if that's your preferred front end.
I would have left the red interior in there, but it's your car!

The 1990 look good at 50/50 the 1986 V6 with the red interior ugly ugly worn out and I had the complete interior from another 1986 gt and other pieces and parts from a few other gts junkyard and cheap cars ...So it all got shoved into the 86 new seat belts headliner seals

The only reason I would be opposed to swapping in a later dash is that I actually prefer the 4-eye dash. I miss my '86.
