1980 mustang coupe project

[pre89street]

Hey guys, there is some pics of my new four eyed mustang project, I bought the car for 500 buck and all work good including the 3.3l ,

I plan to swap 5 lug and put my 03 mach Wheel that I buy from friend on it

Looks like a cool project keep the updates coming

[onetrackrider]

Nice, that's a awesome color combo..

"Blanket" seats!

[IDMooseMan]

Welcome to FEP. Looks like a good project. I like those seats. They're different.

[pre89street]

Loll I have all the parts for black interior and i dont know what engine and color I paint the car

[pre89street]

. This is the low back seat from 79

I implore you...keep the colors as is, don't change the paint or interior. Both of those colors (interior and exterior) are very desirable among this crowd, and it would be a shame to see them gone. Especially if the plan is to change both to black, which is what so many people have done in the past. With this car just like this you will stand out at shows and gatherings, that won't happen if the car is all black.

I love this coupe and for $500 you got a smoking deal. Please dont ruin everything that makes this car special. Drive the car for a while before you make any big decisions, because I bet after you see how much attention these colors will give you, you won't want to change them.

Dont worry i will keep all the original caramel interior part in storage, the probleme its the interior was not mint and need a good refresh, its not like a time capsule original 5.0 with sand beige and brown exterior IMO,

[Travis T]

I can't blame you for changing either the interior or exterior color one. There is just too much there that is all one color and in the grand scheme of things, you have to be happy with it. Looks like a solid starting point.

[pre89street]

Yes its really solid car ,especialy for canadian car only the rear quarter and windshild top corner have a rust issue, I found the built sheet under the spare tire

Love the car! Those seats are to cool.

It's your car and you have to be happy, but that is a special color combo regardless of whether it's a 5.0 or not. It will just be sad to see another cool car changed over to black.

[pre89street]

Guys you make me confuse, I plan to swap a v8 but did you let the car has is? Or just keep the color combo and make the swap ?

At the end of the day, you have to be happy with it. I faced the same decision. So I bought a black car and am selling my white/caramel car. But my car was not $500 in that condition.

[pre89street]

Did you know where i can find a good vinyl paint to refresh the caramel interior and they can ship to canada?I probAbly let the interior color as is finaly

[TopGear85]

FEP site sponsor NPD sells caramel interior paint made by SEM and they ship to Canada. SEM makes a great product that sprays evenly and matches well.

Here is a link:

Nice car and quite a score for $500 Canadian! ...and welcome to the site from Canada too! I, like you, may be inclined to swap everything out if I had it to use. It truly isn't my favorite color inside, but I seem more stock favorable these days. I really like the cool stripe down the side and the color! Good luck with your choice!

I saw two 80 coupes like that recently. Both had brown exterior and your interior.

The one in the junkyard had cloth interior: http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...=1#post1615540

The one on Kijiji had leather seats (I was soo tempted for some reason: $500 too). http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...ome-and-get-it!

Then there was a yellow Cobra posted in the FYI section recently that had the same interior as well: http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...t=Yellow+cobra

[pre89street]

Thanks for the npd link and interior pick! Its really cool they can ship to canada because most of mustang parts suppliers cant ship spray can by air freight, I want the junkyard one! the interior seem to be in great shape!

[poormanscapri]

Welcome and good luck with it. I wish i could find a coupe for 500.00 around here.

Just adding the '79-style Pace Car steering wheel would enhance the look of the interior.
It was available as an option in 1980, so it would keep the interior looking O.E.

[pre89street]

I finaly let the car with caramel interior and I just order vinyl spray can from npd, so If anyone have a steering wheel and door trim carpet for sale please let me know, here a pic of interior with tamporary install gt cluster bezel. And not four eyed but a clean gt 89

[Travis T]

Nice 89, good to see what looks like a stock aero GT and that has always been one of my favorite color combinations on those.

[dburdyshaw]

I think that I even have a steering wheel center cap for it.
