New guy with '88 T-bird Sport 5.0 with low miles

Hi there.

I picked up this 1988 T-bird Sport with a 302, and less than 75k miles a couple months ago.  I've posted what it looked like when I picked it up and also this weekend after some much needed changes.

I removed the stainless rocker covers, trunk emblem, and original wheels. From there I painted a set of 4 lug Pony wheels and added a set of 225/60R16 touring tires for a more aggressive look.

Looks like 2 different cars.

More mods to come, including Pioneer Audio, window tint, and minor body work to keep it in good shape.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Pose
