I'd like to know more about the grille in the bottom pic.I think that's a aftermarket panel to give the std birds that TC ''look''... Was one over in my mom's neighborhood a few years ago, till he wrecked it and busted it and the header... Quote Selected
My $400 88 Sport.....Updated..5/7/10..New pics Reply #7 – January 15, 2009, 10:07:37 AM My plans are HO conversion, T5 swap, and TC rearend. But first i have some bodywork to do. The passenger side quarter has about 1/2" thick of bondo. I picked up a complete quarter from Carlisle during the all ford nationals, payed $45 for it. Im just waiting til spring to start that. We got our first snow lastnight its about 1/2". lolI had to put different tires on the front for inspection and they are the only thing i have and can afford right now. Quote Selected

I drove it back and forth when i was still at wyotech. Amazingly it still gets 23 mpg. They bought a 04 Mach 1 and it doesnt leave the garage much, has 38k miles Quote Selected
My $400 88 Sport.....Updated..5/7/10..New pics Reply #10 – January 15, 2009, 10:26:44 AM I like the color of the new car they got. I think orange looks good on tbirds as well. Here is one i seen at Carlisle a few years back.Its not the same orange but you get the idea Quote Selected
