I have a 1988 Thunderbird LX which my parents bought new off the local dealership showroom floor. This car is the first car I can remember and just remember as a kid waiting for the time that it would be mine. It was my first car but sadly when going to get a replacement to give it a break from 18 years of daily driving and a little refresh it was also the first car I got into a fender bender in. Minor body damage but as I said the goal was to pull the engine and give it a little refresh. Almost 10 years later now it is still sitting in my parents drive way missing an engine, trans, front bumper, fiberglass crash bar and with a rough header panel off TC and a mismatched fender. I am finally in a good position career wise and almost done graduate school so really looking to get it back to the car I loved. I have been on forums for the SVT contours I have owned and now the Mazdaspeed 6 I daily but have never been able to find a community for the T-bird. Glad to have finally found a community with knowledge about this gen t-bird. Plans for now are to hopefully find replacement parts (local junk yards are far and few between with these) and add a little extra power to get it back on the road. Would really like to do GT40 Heads and Cobra intake but am hopeful to find info here on what my options are for our platform as opposed to specifically mustang. Anyone on here from the Philadelphia area?
