Bird #8 August 02, 2014, 09:56:40 PM 1992 Thunderbird 302Pics tomorrow, going to pick it up then. 40k and original owner but its quite rough. Bad fuel pump, rusted brake line and the interior needs a SERIOUS douching but she is quite loaded, V8, premium sound, ATC, leather, fog lights. I'm not quite sure what im gonna do with it yet but for 400 bucks i don't think i could go wrong :hick: Quote Selected
Bird #8 Reply #1 – August 02, 2014, 10:37:04 PM Nice score. I'd like to find another '88 just for driving around. Can't find ANY Fox Birds around here. Not even at a salvage yard. I happen to have a 255 lph fuel pump for sale as well in the classifieds. Quote Selected

Bird #8 Reply #3 – August 04, 2014, 08:42:04 AM Wow that sucker is rough for those miles. Douche out the interior and throw a quick paint job (flat black?) and you've got a good driver! Quote Selected

Douche out the interior and throw a quick paint job (flat black?) and you've got a good driver!That's exactly what i was thinking, the carpet is destroyed but everything else will clean up very nicely, I'm gonna get the fuel pump in sometime this weekend hopefully and then see just how rough the brake lines are.

Bird #8 Reply #5 – August 25, 2014, 08:50:29 PM Ok, so work took off and I havent had two seconds to touch this car but I started day dreaming about paint options. So far I have 3:Option 1: stock red. Easy, too easyOption 2: I have 2 gallons of Aerospace paint that we used to paint interior of jet engines and their vanes, this stuff is near chip & scratch proof once it dries and i think the aerospace/ thunderbird connection would be pretty neat. I would want to add some SC ground effects and maybe a set of window louvers after seeing the bird in Jade Thinking about all that brought to...Option 3: USAF Thunderbird style paint job. Something along the lines of the special paint job these guys have on their jets. I think it could look pretty cool, but it'd be a fine line between cool and tacky.This the paint for option 2 Quote Selected
