My 88 T-bird LX

It's not too bad of a car. 5.0 AOD. Power everything. Needs some real work not only on the body but all over. Total resto or mod out. I'm thinking of starting with the chassis come spring. Then motor and trans mid summer. But nothing is set in stone. [ATTACH=CONFIG]28614[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]28615[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]28616[/ATTACH]

This is the worst of the rust. It's gonna take some fabrication but it will be worth it when it's all said and done.

I'll snap some photos of them tomorrow but they looked pretty solid.

Looks like a good project. Rust not too bad.
