Well, I finally found a decent black t-top car near my area. I was originally only looking for an 87/88 but I found a pretty decent 86. It has the updated quarter windows which I like. I am not too familiar with the 86 cars and am wondering what your opinions are. I would probably redo the entire car so the only part that would stay is the basic console setup and the front headlights. I do like the front bumper though. I also like the GT imprint in the side of the car. What kind of paint jobs would you guys do for a black 86... would you remove the charcoal line across the side of the car? Anything else you specifically like or dislike about that bodystyle? Thanks for the input

-Jason

dont just convert an 86 over to the 87-up bodystyle like everyone does, ruins the car IMO

I would pic my two favorite colors and have a fairly agressive looking paint job done on it.

I'd also remove that set-back K-member that's on there and put the front wheels back where they belong.

If you hack it up and make it a 87 and up bodystyle I will never forgive you.

haha you noticed the setback k member huh, yea definately dropping that for a MM K-member. I like your two toned car a lot however I think I want a classic solid black car. I already have the wheels picked out. Think a RNH wing would look good with it?

Thanks... and it's no woman. Some little neighborhood boy that thinks he's hard and used to come over thinking he was a "playa" with my girls. My middle child (I have all girls) had to give him a beating when he laid hands on my oldest. LOL

I think all black with those headlight covers looks good... if i go all black including the trim piece what should I do about the GT insert on the side, paint it black too or another color?
