Well, I plan to do a 93 Cobra conversion on my 93 GT, so I'll have the parts if you're interested in buying them? Just lemme know?

thanks for the offer, but I've decided to stray away from the bodykit idea... unless I could find someone would trade me a nice lx hatch for my coupe.

Saleen body kit doesnt look bad. GT kit doesnt look right on some. The black one posted earlier isnt too bad but I would go with Saleen if I was really wanting to do it.

3" cowl all the way! Are you planning on striping the whole car, or just a portion?

the whole car will be striped... I am also putting a 60's chin spoiler on it. I think I'll put 10'' stripes on mine though... how far apart are your stripes?

They're 1" apart! I wanted 10" stripes on mine, but the 8" ones fit the cowl hood better(towards the front). I rarely ever see other foxes with stripes, so I will be really looking forward to seeing what yours looks like in the end!!

Also, where are you getting the chin spoiler from? I've never seen them before!

Remove the chrome lips, Change the painted window molding back to Stock (black)... Lower the 5.0 emblems,then it may look ok !

I think the window mouldings look alright painted. Its just the emblems and the chrome that bug me.

I think the chrome and the painted molding is what bugs me the most! Other than that, it ain't too bad!

Yeah that car is nice sans painted window trim and chrome.

I find it curious that it is 5 lug conversion yet still has rear drum brakes..

I don't like the red molding either, but it does look better than a fox I saw with the molding painted all yellow.

5.0 Resto sells a 5 lug conversion that keeps the drum brakes. The rear disc conversion is a little pricey and you need to change the MC, block off the proportioning valve, and change something with the e-brake cable, not sure if theres anything else involved.

Brackets for the calipers on the rear axle?, I think. The 5.0 Resto kit is aimed for those on a budget. May go that route myself as far as the rear axle's concerned. Now if only Mavromont would start making the 17" Pony wheels again...
