Good job!!!!!!!!!!!!
That looks great, I like the way you left the 86 front end on there most people throw an 87+ front end on there 86's. Looks real nice,

Man, that looks tight. It is a lot like what I want my 84 to end up looking like, except different color. Hey, have you guys ever heard of anyone modifying the bumper cover on the 84 front end (the one with the plastic grille crap where the ford emblem goes) I was thinking about cutting that grille stuff out and mounting a pony from like the 94-95 cars in the opening. What do you guys think?
See the part I'm talking about? right between the headlights, cut that out and put a pony in there?

Looks awesome. That's gotta be a great feeling doing that yourself. I really like your year car. Ever thought about putting on the original tail lights?
