Default 83 front end swap ?

There's an 83 5.0 hatchback LX for sale near me for a great deal. The back quarter window + hatch has been changed so it looks like an 87-93. Can I make the front look like an 87-93 with a full body kit piece, or front end off another 87-93 mustang?

you can, however, the 4-eyes are growing in popularity, and a non GT 1983 5.0 is not a common car, is it a G, an L, GL or a GLX? I personally would leave the 4 headlamps on, it is cool to have one of the few nice 4-eyes arround, when I go to shows, it is fun to stick out in the sea of aero nose foxes!

Yes its very easy to swap an older four eyed stangs into the 87-93 style, but like Twister said they are nice for shows, they are getting rare cause of people converting them to the newer style, but since you have the back half converted, you should get the side ground effects from 87-93GT, and leave the front how it is, that will look good too, but if you go through with the conversion then just grab the complete front clip off of an 87-93Gt.

Just before the light turned green the little ******* pointed to the NOS sicker on his machine and left a plasic patch that lasted about 100ft. I didn't stand a chance, I was smoked. He rasied his fist in victory and when home for milk and cookies, I just went to the track. :rolleyes:
