Aero to 4 eye, or 4 eye to aero

[Celeb]

Not converting one body style to another. Neighbor 2 houses down wiped out in his 92 lx hatch. Cosmetic damage externally is major but the frame is ok. He also has a nice 86 LX hatch roller. I'm going to be helping him either way.

92 drivetrain into the 4eye, or use 86 exterior to repair cosmetics to the 92?

sell it all and get a 03 cob...

Wow talk about a worthless post fella.

Just swap the drivetrain to the 4 eye.

I have voted.

Stangnet has spoken.

Seriously - it would be a lot easier to swap out the drivetrain. Plus 4-eyes are manlier and less common.

 

[stykthyn]

every good four eye has an aero conversion done

Dont worry most of his posts are useless. I voted drivetrain swap.

How clean is the 86 compared to the 92?

 

[Celeb]

86 is pretty clean just needs a new windshield and paint later on.

If it was me i would use whatever car is cleaner. for example, if the 86 had any kind of rust and the 92 didnt, i'd throw the 86 nose on the 92. and vice versa with the drivetrain situation

+1

Whichever will involve less work. If the body on the 92 is trashed, just swap the good body panels from the 86 on there and be done. Or swap the drivetrain to the cleaner 86. Either way...same result.

/86 would be cheaper on insurance?

if there was a smiley for a can of worms opening, i would have used it there

An aero to 4eye is completely worthless in terms of resale.

Put the drive train into the 86. If it's clean why the hell would you tear body panels off to fix a wrecked car??

4 eye

Can you post some pics of both mustangs?

As stated in the poll, we're not converting one to the other. Either way the 86 would stay 4 eye and the 92 would stay aero.

My post was in response to 90lxcoupe.

The secod half was directed to you

 

[fivespeedsteed]

im so sick of fixing front ends, fitting pannels together and ****. i say make the 86 run. especially if its a clean chassis thats straight.

How do you figure? If you had a clean 87-93 fox with a 86 nose on it i would bring the same money as if it had an aero nose. 90% of the people dont care what nose is on the car, if the car is solid someone will buy it.

I know alot of people that like the 86 front end alot more than the aero ones(including myself), but dont like the interior/moldings of the 4-eye cars. so its the best of both worlds really


But after seeing pics of both cars, you would be nuts to fix that aero car. Strip it to nothing and get as much money as u can out of it
