I had to put our 86 2R in another storage because we sold my Dad's house. The place it is now at is owned by a guy who does pretty decent body work. He has given me a quote for replacing the rear quarters, so I figured we'd start the body work on the car. I do plan on helping with this project, both to keep costs down and to make sure things are done as I feel they should be.
Since the car is not going to be a daily driver, I wanted to 'add lightness' by replacing the hood and hatch with the HO fibertrends parts. I have searched a bit, but don't see any decent writeups on them. I have questions about the hatch. Can you easily reattach the factory trim on the inside of the hatch? Also, does it take the factory glass well, or do I need to look at lexan or Percy(?) glass?
I got some of the repro headlights from SVPU during the original GP. I also, however, need the inner and outer corner lights. Any options there yet?
How about tail lights? One of mine is cracked (the original SVO lens) and the other one is a regular Mustang part. What are my options there? Thanks.
