Thread: Restored 86GT

    Red face Restored 86GT

    Well it took me a while but I got it finished. I have been trying to find pics from before the restoration but have not found them. I took first place at a local car show here in Dothan and felt real good about it. I will put some of my other Stangs in here too.

    I have a few of your car before paint, I don't have anything before you redid the interior. Did you get before/after pics on Joey's car,....that was a REAL transformation.

    Nice. My first Mustang was a 86GT with the 5 speed. Loved that car.

    What interior kit did you use or is that original fabric?

    Very nice! It's cool to see the Red interior in such immaculate condition. The detailing in the engine compartment looks good too.

    Just found this thread. I met Andy at a show in Panama City Beach recently. Nice guy, and his car is super sharp!!!!! The paint makes me very jealous.

    Here's a pic of the three four eye t-tops at that show. His is in the middle.

    Yep. Didn't realize you were on here also. Another get together sounds good. There's going to be a cruise in the 17th at that same Walmart from 1-4. Come join us if you like. You guys got anything going on up Dothan way?

    Here's a shot that shows your car better. Small but better.

    that's me, and why I most likely won't make it. Doc told us last week could be any day now. I'm telling Andy, and we'll announce it at the club meeting on Monday. We'll let you know who all may be coming.
