I went and picked up my new TC front bumper today. Thanks 88 thunderbird. I just sprayed some rattle paint on it for now. The bumper still needs a little adjustment as well as the fog lights. Ill post more pics tomorrow after I repaint the trim and make some adjustments.

Now all I need to do is save up $ for the TC header, inner lights and maybe a mach1 chin spoiler.

Where's the chin spoiler?You may be fine without it,but it really does help direct air up to the radiator.How do you like the TC bumper?I thinks it looks better than the Sport (standard) bumper cover by a long shot,although,I've seen the standard bumper cover combined with a TC header panel,and it actually looked a little "sharper" up front.

The mustang is my grandparents. They got it back in 90 new, it has 230k miles on the engine. 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 milesX


hey, that looks similar to one i had. :D

Wyotech is an ok school but I dont think its really worth $30k. I took automotive tech, streetrod, and took applied service management as an add on class, another $10k. So for $40k and one year of schooling I have an assoicates degree and a diploma in automotive technology.

If you are going to the one in blairsville pa I would find private housing cuz the student housing sucks and a lot of bad things happen there and the cops are there almost every weekend. I had private housing it runs about $350-400 a month for rent and student housing is $325 or so. Its worth the extra $.

What all classes are you thinking of taking?

Last night I used some headlight restore. I must say the headlights were much brighter. The passenger side still needs some more sanding but they dont look too bad.
