Some interior pics,almost full load 87 TC 5.0HO conversion.
Only options missing are moonroof,leather and pass power seat.
(don't want leather and moonroof would get in the way of T.V.)

Thanks guys, i try.
Coug is a 75, you know your rides,many people wouldn't know that.

The bird was bought due to the fact that my 88 5.0 sucame to rust,after i had the front frame rust cut out and fixed to the tune of 800.00cdn the rear frame snapped and the rear end shifted.
Sucked, car had like 270km on it anyways.
The guy that owned the TC sold it to me for a steal at 2200.00cdn.
He was the original owner and the car only had 70 000miles on it so about 114km.
The only things wrong with it where it had a dent in the roof(since been fixed and painted)needed sway bar links and bushings and the A/C didn't work.
I've spent hundreds of hours in the past 4 months trying to get it to where my old bird was and it's finally better than my old one.
Thanks alot for the coments guys,they're appreciated.
Chris

Yea i started building the car when i was 17 and it's continued over the years,first car i bought myself for550.00cdn. 11 000later :shakehead
I'll never sell it, i've had some offers though.
Links and bushings are easy on the bird but you must measure the sway bar exactly as there are 4 different bars available.
A/C is pretty easy as long as you have the spring lock tools(can be bought for 10-15 dollars for the set) and then just replace the o-rings and put on the 134 fittings(don't forget to remove the r12 shraders first).
Don't believe the they feed you about having to replace the dryer when you convert, it's bs.
I've done 3 conversions on my own rides and they all worked great.
