General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / New guy with update
Vinnie,  Next on my list will be an 8.8 swap(already have it on hand). Also I will be upgrading the sway bars and springs. To save money im just using some TC sway bars I grabbed from a salvage yard..Can I use TC coil springs on my car or should I use some Mustang springs? I want a little lower stance. ( I know the lowering question has been beat to death on here so I want go there lol).....After that I want to do some mild engine work just to make the car a little more fun to drive.....I haven't posted in a while but did I see on here that your repainting your  car ?

Body/Appearance/Interior / Steering wheel options?
Hey guys i dont really care for the steering wheel in my LX bird and would like to change it. Just curious what some of you may have gone with? I may just swap in a TC wheel but was wandering if any wheel from a fox body stang will work? I found 1 from a mid 80s GT that would be a lil different. It is like the SVO wheel from "back in the day" lol....Thanks for your input...Ray

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / New guy here
First let me say this is a great site. I have been checking it out while i searched for my project car. Just a couple days ago i got an 87 Tbird LX with 5.0. The car has been garaged kept since new and is in very good shape.The lady i got it from bought it in 1990 so im owner #3...I hope to start some mild mods soon. I can get a 3.55 TC rearend from a buddy and plan to add that soon..Would the TC sway bar be an upgrade or no? Any tips on some 'bank for buck' mods would be appreciated. Hope to add some pics soon.
