OMG!!! I dont know what looks worse-That Saleen wing on that Tbird or the fake brakes on that Mustang!!!! I always say-just because you add something to your car doesn't make it better. Some things are better left alone. Once again just my crazy opinion and sorry to the owner(s) of the Tbird and mustang.

What do you drive just asking? i have seen many many cars i have seen much worse but i got the money and will get in the car in less than a week i did not even think i would of had a another T-Bird this year or maybe even next. So its time to BS around and think things over before i mod it and i got a loan for 18 months so don't worry i don't got the cash or time to mess up this car anytime soon.

This car looks super nice just needs a little TLC and a car wash and i would say its in the top 1% of any 87-88 T-Birds that are fixed up DD cars.

Hey Pimp I didn't mean to bust your chops-I LOVE Turbo Coupes (I'm on my 6th one) I just feel you dont have to do too much to these cars to have them looking good. I personally think that silver bird with the saleen tail would look so much better without it. Once again just my opinion. Heres a pic of my Bird from last summer-thats also my mustang in my sig.

I dont think that is the car he is getting. He said he was going to add the spoiler later and he said it had GT wheels not Cobras. I really wish he would put up some pics though. descriptions kill me with no visual aid...

For the love of God DO NOT put a Saleen spoiler on it, DO NOT two-tone it. Do PERFORMANCE mods, NO VISUAL. IF you get a Cougar also, only PERFORMANCE mods. You had fun rattle canning the Aerobird GT. For the sake and dignity of the cars please dont paint them.

That Mustang just makes me want to talk like a Hick....something to the effect of: "Put that there Detroit E-Locker in my Lawn mower, slapped a Muncie SuperCharger backed by a four speed, sumbitch will do 10.2 in the 1/4 by God I tell you what"

Thanks bro- I'll try and put up some pics of my other coupes I've owned. Too bad in the late eighties early nineties they didnt have digital camera's yet because I would have taken a lot more pics. Maybe somebody on here knows where one of them is.

The fact is the cougar is getting a 2 tone paint job ASAP after i get the paint is so close to rusting.

The T-Bird all i may do is Redo the pin striping either RED or BLUE But the wheels are nice and just need to get powdercoated white later on.

Nice Black TC looks good and i bet the other 5 you had looked nice as well.

Don't worry i gotta take like 20-50 pics of this car inside and out so if anything happens to it i can prove it was a nice car plus i have to make a new Cardomain site.

Pimp-you got any pics of the cougar? I like those cars too-I guess thats why we're on here. I'll only post up a pic of 1 of my previous TC's. The other one's weren't clean at all.

The cougar 1988 RED faded XR7 Specs for now + all my old AEROBIRD GT parts will also go on that car and the Vortech SC i got laying around.

8.8 with new moser Axles and 3.27 gears

5 lug with 3 spoke rims good tires but will be replaced after i have a little fun with them also has newer upgraded mustang brakes.

Q1A K-Member summit says its -28lbs over stock

Side impacts cut out of both doors said to weigh in at about -50lbs

Also getting a extra TC hood with buying the 88 T-bird and useing my old spoiler off my T-bird on the XR7.

Will be a custom 2 tone paint job at the Factory line and will have every last saveable part form the AEROBIRD-GT.

The car is 45miles away did not take any pics yet sorry.

Can i name it the AEROCAT-GT? or AEROCAT-XR7?

Very very bad idea if you're going to drive the car on the street. Those side impact door beams are there for a reason. They... um... protect against side impact. They also contribute to the car's crash structure - without 'em your wrecked '87 would likely have folded like an accordion. With you folding along with it.

Since it will have a bunch of parts off your Thunderbird, why not call it the Thundercat? :hick:

whatever you do, don't call it "layla"
