New and Need Help

March 02, 2005, 11:31:24 PM

I have a 1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and me and my dad have looked every where but have had no luck in finding the Grount Effects for it. The Current ones on it now are shot to hell. If any one has any Information on Ground effects for My car your help would be greatly Appreciated.

I always thought it would be slick to switch out your header and bumper for one off of a 87 or 88 cougar/tbird. I have heard that you have to switch out fenders to make all the lines match, but they look the exact same to me. That would, at the least, give you the front valerance and side skirts. Then all that you would need to find would be the bumper. It does not look like the back will line up at all. I think that 87-88 cars had alot more over hang as well.

Here's a picture of a 83 TurboCoupe with a 87-88 front clip.

It looks like he used the whole front clip too.
