Will the ground effects from the GT work on the hatch? I don't see why they wouldn't....... That could be an eventual thing if you ever have it painted!

How streetable will this car be? The thing with a manual, you have more leeway as to what cam you can run..........

Or you could do a 2 tone, the lower half with ground effect one color (also fix your bad bumper paint). And the rest factory color. Like this.

She's cleaned up very well, and nice score on the donor car. If you play your cards right, you can recoup a bunch of money parting out the gt when you're done with it. Make sure you take EVERYTHING you need for the swap.

Thanks! Yeah I'm planning on swapping pretty much the whole interior into the hatchback as well as the 5.0 and 5-speed. So by the time I'm done with it, you probably won' even be able to tell it was a Foxbody.

The GT bodykit will work on the hatchback, but I'm planning on eventually putting a Saleen bodykit on it so I'll probably sell the GT kit. 

Ohh by the time I have this the way I want it; this thing is gonna be a street legal racecar for the most part. 

But for now, I'm gonna put an E303 cam in it with 2 chamber flow masters and an H pipe, old school. 

I'm also going to do other things to it slowly like do a smog pump delete, bigger injectors, fuel pump, Trick Flow upper intake, etc...

For now my plan is to make it a good driver that looks and sounds good, but while I'm driving it and enjoying it; I'm gonna be building a 347 or a 351 bored to a 440 on the side to drop in it. 😎

Dude that car but in Reef Blue is my dream Foxbody, I've only ever seen 1 for sale, and I could never afford it.

Cleaned up nicely!

 

Although....I think I'd keep the convertible and restore/build that!

Man I totally would but being 17 my insurance would be CRAZY expensive since it's a convertible.

The convertible is the heaviest body style, too, at least that's what I've always heard! I like what you have planned for this car!

Yeah the door sticker on the convertible says that it weighs 4200 pounds, where the LX only weighs 2500!!
