I still like it on a monochrome TC. Quote Selected

New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #145 – August 06, 2014, 09:32:17 PM Well got her out today for a wash, I drove around the neighborhood a bit, now going up on the stands for the sn95 brake upgrade on the front. Also going with new struts and rear shocks. So cool, after setting up for a week or better, she started right up, now the carb is adjusted. Once I get the brakes and struts, I think I am going to get some casters and camber plates while I am in there. Updates coming soon Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #146 – August 13, 2014, 08:02:10 PM Well I got the old air shocks off the rear, and so I went a head an cut the home made bump stops off, he had made them because he had a wall of 18in sub woofers where the back sent went. That box was heavy and it rubbed the tires, he had 15x8.5 reverse offset on it and stuck out past the fenders. I am glad he kept the factor spots with the rubber goes Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #147 – September 03, 2014, 07:57:25 PM Ordered some new rear shocks today Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #148 – September 12, 2014, 06:54:46 PM I went today back do the body shop that work on this car back in the 90's to look for the window felt tracks, so I can roll up the windows into the doors, well they have moved everything to a big storage shed out back, but I asked if they found the rear spoiler with the molded in third brake light that went to the car. Guess what, it was right in front of the stack. I did not have time to look into everything moved for the tracks. I need felt part, but I will take this find, it is part of the FMS body kit.
