My project... April 15, 2005, 03:37:43 PM A friend turned me on to this site. I have many projects...this is my '87 Turbo Coupe. Picked it up as a fire damaged car that sat for 6 years and was covered with moss. Just finished up my hood and sorting out some of the other details. It's now a 5.0 with 5 speed. Quote Selected
Re: My project... Reply #1 – April 15, 2005, 04:00:00 PM And a nice looking five lug conversion too. I'm glad you took the time to save it. I love to see a clean black TC.Did you use all SN95 parts for the conversion? Quote Selected

Re: My project... Reply #3 – April 15, 2005, 04:31:45 PM Nice Eye!! most people don't know what that car is . Yes, the Dan Gurney Special is mine as well.On the SN95 conversion I kept the Turbo Coupe lower control arms and used the spindles and brakes from the SN95 along with the SN95 tie rod ends(inner and outer).

Re: My project... Reply #7 – April 15, 2005, 06:35:52 PM Very Beautiful Turbo Coupe! I love the rims and the hood. Care to share any specifics on the hood? Quote Selected
Re: My project... Reply #8 – April 15, 2005, 06:42:38 PM Quote from: SSXVery Beautiful Turbo Coupe! I love the rims and the hood. Care to share any specifics on the hood?Thanks! I love the rims too but I found another set that I like better so I will change in the near future. The hood is a one-off hood made by us at my shop....we took a stock hood and a wrecked SVO Mustang hood and combined them...so it is an all steel hood. Lots of hours in it but I am very happy with the results. Quote Selected

Re: My project... Reply #12 – April 15, 2005, 10:20:45 PM I am also impressed with the hood, nice to see somthing different and really tasteful. Quote Selected
Re: My project... Reply #13 – April 16, 2005, 01:08:51 AM Those rims actually look like they belong on our birds and cats. They look better on these cars then they EVER did on a Mustang. Was that scoop originally from an SVO? Looks like you've modified it a bit. I like it! Quote Selected
Re: My project... Reply #14 – April 16, 2005, 01:35:27 AM Mighty fine Bird you got there. The hood looks fantastic. SN-95 wheels look way better on these cars than the intended vehicles. ^_^Welcome. Quote Selected
