Pics, finally! August 01, 2006, 02:59:50 PM Finally I'm not embarrassed as much to show off my $500 ride!http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?bg=FFFFFF&image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/2421000-2421999/2421238_1_full.jpgOk, here's the story: Bought (stole:giggle: ) the '88 off a friend of mine for $500. 80K miles, needs a little. Fixed power locks and the keyless door. Bought centerlines off of ebay with tires for $200, picked 'em up in Ohio. H.O. intake with throttle body etc. off ebay, invested a total of $80 plus gaskets. Forgot to put on intake hose when starting the car, sucked neighbors cat into intake. I also bought eibach (1"-2"drop) springs that this forum lead me to on ebay. I can't believe no one else bid on them... Brand new and shipped to my door for $60. 8.8 rear end for $20, thanks again guys! (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=8670) then a set of 5.0 E6 (I know...) heads off the same guy for $40. Hopefully the body gets done this weekend. Let me know what you think! BTW, I am looking for a set of 3.73's for the rear end! I am hoping to get up to Beaver Run Raceway for some autocross in September... Anyone up for it? Quote Selected

Pics, finally! Reply #5 – August 02, 2006, 05:15:54 PM Looks good man, I just can't understand why you would pay money for a set of heads that are ...E7's are the way to go. BTW, your photoshop lowering job looks nice, but it's more like 3-4" lowered there....lol. Quote Selected
