i bought this 87 5th avenue from a local ford dealership on 5/16/07 for $750.25. its rust free with 113k miles.its got a new carb and radiator. its got grey leather interior but ill be changing it with the interior of my 85. im also gonna put the stereo,taillights,grille,front bumper,and of course rims and tires from the 85 to this one.the amazing thing is,is im only 19 and doin all this on my own. i dont trust shops and never will take my car to one cuz i know they like to jip people on parts

 

gotta pull the left side of the bumper out and take the trailer hitch off

fixed the bumper and removed the trailer hitch.the bumper was a bitch!i couldnt pull it out cuz the shock was siezed so i had to take 1 off my 85 5th and change it out which was not an easy job. it still aint perfectly stait but its good enough for me...it pissed me off to much

the vents on the left front fender is all glued on. i will be removing these from both sides

got the vents on the drivers side off now i gotta put another one on

i couldnt get that ugly ass glue off so i took a vent off the original front clip to my 85 5th (gold) and painted the vent black.

got the taillights out

got the lenses off the housings, this was after i started sanding the black
whats the wierdest thing youve found in a taillight?? i found a hornets nest

 

the reason i took em all apart,i put chrome tape on the inside of the housing to brightin up the lights,since i occasionaly have em tinted
i also did the top around on the inside of the lense to get it as bright as possible
