I'm the proud new owner of an 86 Mustang Convertible. The only thing I don't like about the car (other than the wimpy V6) is the nose. I'd like to use the Cobra body kit on the car but the current LX stlying won't allow it. I realize that I need GT bumper covers and trim but I can't attach them because my 86 has the old inset head lights. I need some help here. Can I just buy the head light mounts, bumper covers, and trim? Or is there some other modifications I'll need to make. And any tips or tricks I can pick up on restoring these cars would be helpfull too...Thanx!

For those who care... Future plans for the car: Starting with the body. As you read I want the Cobra side skirts, fender flairs, and bumber covers. The SVO scoop style hood with ram air fuctionality. I have a small wing on the trunk deck wich I think I'll keep. I want to use the SVO tail lights (they remind me of classic exotic car lights like found on the Ferrari Testarossa). I've got a set of chrome projector head lamps. A set of 18in chrome or black bullet wheels. I'm torn between the two and I'm open to suggestions. Replacing the convertible top for a black one. Tinting the glass dark obviously. Finally spraying the car in a HOK Pearlescent Lime Green. The interior is getting the black leather treatment and the dash will be fiber glassed and sprayed with gloss black and lime green accents to match the exterior. Lots of billet! That stuff is purdy. Finally dropping the 3.8 for a 5.0 stroked out as close to 5.7 as I can get still using pump fuel. I'd like a 5 speed with a 9 bolt rear backing it up. Mustang II front suspension and Eibach Coil Overs all around. I want my vert to be as much of a show stopper as it is a track car. And again any suggestions I'm totally open to. I'll try and post pix on here and Car Domain as I go. Thanx for reading!
