My 87 Thunderbird LX

This is my 1987 Thunderbird LX.
I got it from a friend of mine, with some work needed. The suspension needed  new parts like springs bushings, shocks and some minor work to engine and transmission. As i looked over the car, and found out what i wanted to do with it, i took it apart completely.
