My '86 Turbocoupe May 14, 2010, 06:43:58 PM Looks like I've never posted here even though I signed up a while back. I kinda forgot about. Anyway, thought I'd share some pics of my Thunderbird. It was my first car when I turned 16. Was actually looking for a truck at the time and happened along the Thunderbird by accident when it really came to me when a friend of my fathers was by and then said it was for sale. Was bone stock when I got it and needed some work but we fixed it up a bit and I have had it ever since. I've had other cars too, a '94 Integra, an '02 WS6, and now my truck too but I've always held on to my favourite car of the bunch.Here is how she looks these days:(I do use rubber floormats, they were just out in the pic)(not very pretty in there but oh well)(old pic, I still have those wheels too. I didn't and am not getting rid of them)(another old pic but I like the setting in it)More pics and the list of mods (they are modest): http://www.fquick.com/garages/viewvehicle.php?id=11041And well, my truck, though I doubt anyone cares about it here, lol.So yeah.. Howdy. :hick: Quote Selected

I actually have the set that came on mine originally (stopped working one winter after putting her in a ditch on some ice). I put those on after the accident and left the others in the garage. The ones I have on it now are actually a lot brighter than the originals. :) Quote Selected

Too many memories!Thanks :) Yeah.. I learned to drive in this thing. Can't ever forget those memories. I hope to make many more. :) My dream with this car is to have it fully "finished" in whatever configuration I decide to get it in one day, and then come back to get it and drive it cross country to where I am moving in a few years (somewhere out west or west coast). The thought of cruising Rt. 66 (or what is left of it), checking out the sights along the way, and then seeing the sun set on the desert while driving in to it in my favourite car just sends chills up my spine. :D Quote Selected
