Hi, fierofury. I, too, have a 1986 GT. I got it from a less than reputable used car dealer in West Virginia, so had to go through the same rebuild process while also converting it to electric. Other than that, I haven't done any mods, but have been thinking about them.

First thing I'd like to do: The headlights are a big Cd increase (mainly cause they're so big). I like the low profile look that one guy got when he put Hella 90 mm modules in and cut down his headlight buckets, but that's a pretty expensive way to go. I was thinking about mounting some '97 camaro headlights in the grill opening and moving the front turn signal/parking lights to the front so they are flush with the surface of the nose, since stock location is about 4" back in there. that would reduce drag at night, and you could remove the headlight mechanisms to save weight. The other obvious thing is to keep the body panels adjusted to minimize gaps and steps. What do you think?

I installed stiffer springs to handle the increased weight (should have had them lower it at least an inch at the same time). It handles like nothing I've ever driven. Great car - enjoy!
