+1 on the congrats.

Also, I'd like to know any differences between an 87 and an 88.

Nope not hardly... All body panels are identical....


The '87 uses a Ford alt while the '88 uses a Hitachi alt... The 5 speed computers are different, on the factory setup, the '87 only has full boost in 1st & 2nd... The trim pieces on the inside door handle pulls are different, 88's have some plastic chromed trim, the '87 are all interior color... EATC control buttons are labeled slightly differently, but that's all '87 to '88 models... The engine identifier code in the VIN, switched from "W" in '87 to "T" in '88... Lastly the '87s all had metal trim around the back window, early '88s built prior to about about mid Nov '87, have the metal as well...

Wow, I didn't realize there were such suttle differences. I knew the bodies were the same, and if I'm not mistaken the 88's came with more hp, at least the 5.0's did.
