    Default switching front nose

    my 84 has the 87 style front nose on it (it was that way when i bought it)
    i had a deal worked out to trade this front nose and hood for an 83 nose and hood but it fell through...will any front nose and hood from 79-86 fit my 84?
    i dont like the 87 nose and i hate the idea of it being on my car...i feel if you want that look then by that car...dont chop these up.
    i figure its better to have at least a 4 eye nose from any year than this front end...

    Yes, you can switch it back to a 4 eye. Just need all the parts for it. Be aware that 79-82 is different than 83-86. You'll basicallt need the front cover, header panel, headlights, marker lights and a hood. 85-86 seem more plentiful than 83-84 but all can be bought new. You'll also need to do some re-wiring for the lights.

    I think any of the fronts will work. I know the molding on the 87 are newer fenders don't match the 85 or 86 fronts not sure about the older ones but I would bet it doesn't. Yeah if you want the 87 are newer mustang look just by that car. My 85 has the newer quarter windows in it, was like that when I got it, one day I'm changing it back.

    i hope not...yea the 83 and 84 are hard to find around my area....would rather take it off the car so i can get everything so there is no surprises.....it is to much money to buy one and have it shipped...ill just look for a parts car and get the whole front end off of it..im waiting for a name and phone number of a salvage yard in toledo ohio that has nothing but mustangs all years and it is more of a you pick and pull setup.

    so the fenders on my car will not work with the 84 frontend then?
    just found 2 83 frontends and fenders..just need to know if i have to swap the fenders to.and is the spoiler different on the 83 and 84 than it is on the 85? they have the spoiler from the 83 gt and from a 89 gt.i like the 89gt spoiler.

    I would have one less GF and a lot more mustangs if I had my way in his yard. I see at least 4 I would buy right now based on the pics on his site.

    It would seem he sells whole cars as well. Must hide bank cards from myself

    "Beautiful haven"... LOL , and I agree. I'm imagining being let loose in that yard, with an unlimited budget.
