new guy w/ '86 TC

Hi all,  I'm new on here,  just scored a '85 TC, from original owner w/  window sticker and all invoices, owners manual and in good shape.  I have some big plans for it and will probably start a thread to show all the work as it progresses.

Clean looking car! Judging by the background.. I take it you are going to turn this into a drag car?

Welcome! Looks like a great find, congrats! I think we're all a little curious about the Stang in the garage as well.

Jeez,  I thought this was a tbird forum,  seems there is more intrest/questions about my mustang in the garage.

But no,  it will not be a drag car.  I registered the tbird this past week,  been driving it now as the clutch in my d.d. mustang convert. has left the building. the  a/c is still ice cold on the tc.

My mustang in the garage is my car I run in the American Iron series. its a road racing class run by NASA.

hcor- what a coincidence,  we own the same cars,lol  I have a white '86 fox convert,  my racecar in the garage is a fox coupe,  and I just added this '85 TC.
