The only way to do it that would look halfway right would be to cut the front half off the 87-88 fenders and weld them onto the rear half of the 83-86 fenders - this would ensure that the style lines line up at the header panel and at the doors.If you like the 87-88 style I'd recommend buying an 87-88. It's really the only way it'd look right. Plus you get the 87-88 T-Bird tail lights :D Quote Selected
