Pullling my 87 TC out from under the car cover and putting my essy head on for now. I was waiting to complete my Folvo conversion but money is tight and and I want to drive her.

Car has so much Luv in it that my ex wife nicknamed her Soncha (The other woman/mistress) LOL!!

White mirrors AND door handles!
Only thing I'd do would be to pull the molding off the sides, between the wheelwells, or else do it in white with maybe the stripe in black for a little contrast. I feel that it draws too much attention, but that's just my opinion, it's a sharp looking car regardless!

Some will say it looks tacky as all hell with the gfx...but i'd drive it like I stole it! :D

HOW DID YOU GET THAT SVO BIRD HOOD?? I've only seen one in existance and I LOVE IT. Those body kits though.... Idk they just dont fit the lines in my opinion on these cars. Well for that matter I hate any body kits that dont follow body lines regardless of the car. Im a picky SOB, but its a CLEAN bird!!
Nice ride, you should be proud to own 3 sweet birds!!(though your sons is better looking haha!!)

Oh man, your car is sweet!!! When you get pics. with the new wheels on it please post them, I'd like to see them. The only thing I think I'd do different is like FTF said, I'd paint the rest of the molding white to match the rest of the molding, then do the center strip black all the way around. I also really like the groung fx, if I had the cash and could find a great set for mine I'd have them on mine.

Thanks guys. I actually had the ground effects custom made. (If you look in the bumper you will see my huge truck NPR intercooler) Even the rear is different because it allows people to see my ATR Stainless exhaust and MAC Pumpkin. I did paint the side mouldings all white. If you look at the pics of car in storage you can kinda see that I did.  I plan to have a set of "turbo coupe" insert made in aluminum and replacing the rubber ones that are now painted white.

Here is a shot of the rear...


No SVO's were damaged in the creation of my new hood. LOL!! There is a guy on the mustang board who make fiberglass replicas and I had him make me one. I actually even tilted mine in an angle to follow the hood lines and keep opening above the turbo for cooling.
