first pics of my 87 turbo coupe

hi everyone,

just thought id share a quick pic.  here is the 87 i picked up last summer.  its got a balanced 5.0 ho swap backed by a 5 speed.  it has been summer cruizer.  i picked up a set of cobra r's a few months ago and im really happy how they look.  The stock wheels were pitted and full of brake dust.  well here it is.

The cobra's are so over done, but for good reason. I like the stance.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Awesome ride!  Cobra R's are overdone but they look great (especially chrome).  I always catch flack for having them too.  I really wanted a set and could not afford them for so long that it was one of my priorities to have on the car some day.

Looks great! I picked up a set of Cobra Rs a couple months ago myself. I wanted chrome but I got a really good deal on the ones I got.
