T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / NOS Rear Window Trim - Late 88 Model Year
This is another part that is difficult to find and puts the finishing touch on a quality restoration.

NOS Rear Window Trim for the Late 88 Model Year.  This is the two piece plastic/rubber molding that goes around the rear window.

The item is new still in original packaging and contains two pieces.

1 - Inner piece that goes around the rear window glass.  This part cannot be seen when the moulding is installed, but is the part that the outer molding (the part you see) snaps into and holds it all in place.

2- Outer molding.  This is the part that you can see and on a lot of our cars is cracked and faded etc.  It snaps into the 1 part described above. 

Depending on the condition of the part 1 on the car it may be possible to remove the old outer molding and snap the new one in.

$120 plus shipping.

User Rides / Another Turbo 4Cyl
Well,

Last month I just couldn't resist an opportunity.  I owned one of these a couple of years ago, sold it, and never got over it. 

So this 89 Conquest was for sale in South Carolina.  Used to be an Arizona car and made its way to SC via North Carolina.  78k original miles on the car.

My son and I made a 4 day, 4k mile thunder run and brought the Quest "home" to Arizona.

Lots to do on it, but with the Turbo 4 it fits right in with the pack.

Engine Swapping / 4.6L DOHC into 88 TC
I know there was a project a year or more ago that was eventually given up... to put a 5.4 into an 88 FoxBird.

I've read a lot of articles etc. of people putting 4.6L DOHC in Fox body Mustangs.

Anyone know of a 4.6L DOHC being put in an 88 TC and fitting it under the OEM hood? 

I REALLY would like to do that swap.

User Rides / Darth Turbo
A few pictures of my 5th bird.  It's been a journey to get to this point.

50k original mile car from Michigan.  Had more problems cleaning up some mouse induced damage than anything to do with rust. 

Still a work in progress.
