My 88 sport October 10, 2007, 03:07:37 PM Hey this is my first post. Heres my 88-87 thunder turd port coupe.Mods include mustang exhaust headers, h pipe, pulleys and a throttle body. Springs are 650 lbs performance springs for a 96 cobra. Right now its in gray primer and is going to be black with read pearl. Thats a long way off but this winter I`m going to collect parts to build an 11 second 331 stroker from dss racing. Its a stock standard 5.0 that makes 300 ftlbs of torque and 200 hp, rough guess. It runs 14`s I think. I smoked a tsi and almost ran him over lol. I couldnt even floor it til I hit 35 mph.Its got a cowl molded off a 69 camaro. I wanna make an all metal one using a real camaro hood and hammer weld it on there. since fiberglass sucks it cracks like crazy. My bro built this car back in 2003. We couldnt get a title for it so we bought an 87 shell and swapped everything over. This car has been to hell and back. I`m going to run a c4 or a t5 with a spool rear and 3.73`s and a 28 oz flyweel. a 3500 stall and an aluminum drive shaft. Quote Selected

My 88 sport Reply #3 – October 10, 2007, 03:17:04 PM Thank you my bro deserves all the credit as you see it in the pics. It looks liek hell right now but its nasty looking. My huge burn out marks are still in front of my house from 3 and a half years ago. lolthey look fresh still.I have 1 question though. we did not swap out the 88`s axle and this 87 chassis i have is a sport also. Is it a limited slip because the old one would spin both tires but I can spin one tire and the other spins the otherway like a non posi. Quote Selected

My 88 sport Reply #10 – October 10, 2007, 11:21:53 PM Looks like a great project car... I kinda like it with no grille lol. Quote Selected
My 88 sport Reply #11 – October 11, 2007, 11:03:28 AM Yes im a wagon full of nuts. lol It`s a song from a great game called motor city online that died.Me and my brother made that grille from the stock one by cutting the bars out. Its going to have red tinted clear plastic bars in there when its done. along with a frenched anteanna to hide the base. Idk if I want to make it recessed or flush with the fender. or I might relocate it to the right rear quarter panel and angle it. but thats all a while away. Right now I just need something to drive cause I have like 3 cars that dont run lol. Quote Selected
