Heres what I am doing with the leftovers from the 85-86 gt project I am working on I hate to hack up (especially older kits) and just leave them as parts, I was looking at the scraps and the 87-93' mpc gt front clip part left from removal of the amt body I saw the chrome gt headlamps and the wheels started turning....... I started zap a gap'in front end parts back together and what was left about the eggcrate 79' grille glued it front and center and glued on the lower foglight airdam to the lower bumper and wa-la!

the front end really resembles this European "kamei " escort front end so i'm rolling with it! its going to be the bigger brother with a v-8 of the escort pictured :)

going to be clean and mean lookin

I will most likely fill in the most centermost (closest to grille) it will just be the compound headlight and the corner mark lights (theres already front park lamps in the mid section of bumper) all 79-86' mustangs (minus svo of course)

already have a million projects (all mostly fox mustang) will do my best to keep updating post with new pics

got some paint done on this one (purple) 2 tone with silver ground effects will try and get updated pic real soon

i found this to be great "RE" use of old parts since i borrowed heavily from the 87-93 gt mustang amt body's so i mixxed the older front grill i removed from old body 79-86' and mixxed it with the leftover front compound headlamps of the 87-93 style kinda like the way it came out

will get pics

unfortunately i am out of purple paint and i think i'm going to have to strip and start over??

or go with a black spoiler? i cut out the "sail" panels on this body to use for my 85 gt projects

one of the compound lights is in place to show the "look" i'm going for used the 87 spoiler and ground effects looks pretty cool i think
