80 Mirada,

What is your impression of the VFN rear clip. Would you recommend it?

 

[80mirada]

It needs work, it takes abit to get it lined up. It has some cosmetic issues that need worked out on it. If you want a stock look it is not the best choice.

 

[SRTMirada]

What is the best choice? This is something that every Mirada owner will have to deal with at some point.

There aren't a lot of options. VFN, Replica Plastics, or custom made. The Replica Plastics repops are TERRIBLE right out of the box, but would probably be ok with a lot of professional body work. The VFN is lighter weight race car stuff, not exactly stock appearing. Again, with some body work, it would probably look good.

If you want a stock rear bumper, the replica plastics are a usable place to start. The VFN would require a lot of work to use a stock bumper, and the molded in one is off center plus some places are misshapen

Come to think of it, I think BHA43 is going to make Mirada and Cordoba quarter fillers, and they will be the ones to get. I have seen his F-body stuff and can tell you, that they look as good as the originals, only the fact that they are rigid gives away that they are fiberglass. So if F-body stuff is any indication of what his J-body stuff will be like, I hope he does a Mirada nose.

If he starts making that I will buy a complete set whether I need it or not.

It is a lot od work, but it really changes the way the roof looks

 

[Mn mopar]

Great work, really enjoyed reading the thread. What plans do you have for the motor?

 

[80mirada]

Initially, it will receive an aluminum headed 360....
