After owning the car 3 years and working on it for the last 2, the 86 is finally road worhty and painted...

And to make even sweeter is I painted it myself....Here is a few pics...Check out my site for before and after pics, plus motor pics...

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?

Is that an LX front cover or a GT? I don't see cut outs for the fog lamps...

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?

Very good job - and I like the combination of body parts you used. Where did you do the prep work and paint at?

I did the prep and paint at the local Tech school. I am taking some classes in Auto Collision Repair. All together in paint & supplies I have about $600 in the paint job..

Fox Body-- I would like a set of 86 lights but haven't came across adecent set yet. The ones that came on the car were busted when I got it...

Fox Body · 01-13-2004, 06:09 PM

Aaah, okay. Yeah, the '86 is one of my favorites.

Stang_Crazy · 01-13-2004, 09:20 PM

Is that a red interior I see peeking out from behind the tinted windows??

GREAT paint job!!!!!!!!
