its been in an accident recently..nothign major..just needs a new front end.and while im at it....im going to tear the suspension apart and put my newly rebuilt 406 back in it..also going to do something with the interior...and its getting painted..the body has for the most part been prepped.what would you guys do..comments suggestions on everything would be greatly aprreciated.

 

KITT conversion! make it talk! muhaha, ok I'll stop now

 

KITT where are you?

Michael I'm coming...

 

oh hahaha haha hah.! not funny guys lmao:lala: :lala:

 

Hmm...going from the pic. I suggest keeping the factory red/black combo. I think a 3" cowl hood would look good.

good luck

 

 

:lala:

 

heres the damage...

 

I'd say go for the Forth gen ram air hood and wing! Then paint it black or red if you'd like. Add some forth gen T/A wheels and it would look awesome. I know it might sound like a lot, but it sure would look sweet.

 

Looks like a perfect opportunity to switch to the '85-'90 TA front end...and gfx. While ur at it switch the tail lights as well...and your car will b kick a$$. I love the powerbulge hood..but I dont know if it will fit wit ur motor.

with the 305 in it right now..a stok hood fits just fine..in fact i have a powerbulge hood with working cowl induction..butwhen the 406 goes back in..a stock hood dont fit lol

 

Keep the 82-84 front nose. paint it black with a cowl hood.

 

I say while your at the KITT conversion....by yourself a button down shirt with the top three buttons missing, get the black leather jacket, and those goggle sized 20% tinted sunglasses and bushy hair.... :lala:


I think you should keep it stock looking......I LOVE THE 82-84 Style nose....add a nice ram air hood.

 

Shwing.

 

Please do not change to the 85-90 style gfx, there are so many of them on the road and so few 82-84 style TAs left. Just get a great paint job in the same color, but don't reapply the lower black stripes and paint the stock gfx to match the body (go for the monochromatic look). Shave the antenna. As for hood I would choose the Ram Air I if it will clear the 406, if not then the Ram Air II. The "power bulge"still looks the best. The Ram Air II might look too "top heavy" with the shorter (in height) stock bumper cover.

 

Keep the body stock with a good stock color paint job. Toss on some 16 inch GTA wheels and spend the money you saved not modifying the body on engine/trans/suspension mods. The early TA's look sweet just like they are.
