My name is Justin. I am a HUGE mustang fanatic! I'm on my 4th Mustang now. my first mustang was a 1986 GT(pictured on page 3), then i had a 1985 GT with t tops(pictured on page 3), i sold the 1985 GT to get a 1984 SVO(pictured on page 2) then i traded the SVO for a 1985 LX V6.
I have a new LX bumper and headlight assembly from a 1987-up LX,

got rid of the euro tail lights!
I'm also swapping in a 5.0 V8. The K members are the same on the I4, V6, and V8 so I won't have a problem there. I currently have a 5.0 EFI NON HO motor but i'm either going to tear it down or sell it to get a HO motor. my swap is going to be a carbured swap as well. I think I will run an AOD transmission so I can still go on the freeway.
ok here's some pics
this is the newest picture i have, i've been too lazy to take a picture during the day. this is my new front end and hood on the car. i also ditched teh altezzas.

i'm also changing out the altezzas for some LX lenses, the previous owner liked the euro lights... i however don't care for them and they are getting swapped out.

First off, the 85 lx that i converted was a 6 cylinder. Not exactly rare if you ask me. There is no need to convince me of how cool a 4 eye stang looks, cause i love 4 eyed stangs, but at the time i was not really into the whole 4 eyes thing. i've had like 3 or 4 other 4 eyed stangs since then. I actually threw the 4 eye front bumper and hood away, and i ended up kicking myself for it later as i ended up buying another 4 eye and it needed a front end. Oh well, fuckit. i also favor the parting of SVO's. so shoot me.

Hey maybe someone here can help me,I am purchasing my 3rd mustang and untill now my love and experience has been with 87+ body style.I am now looking at a 1985 with a 90s front clip(so the guy tells me).This 85 lx notchback I am buying has chrome window trim and the plastic louver trim that hangs just behind the 1/4 glass.From what I have seen from looking around and even here I see the lx notchy you did and added a 90 front clip that the 85 dosent have chrome window trim nor does it have the plastic louver trim behind the 1/4 glass.Do you think I am being a lil fibbed to about the year of the car.I am buying it from Ebay so I have not seen the title yet.
