Thunderbird TCR

Here's my new Bird. :D An 88 TC w/ T-5. The interior is mint. Way better than Darkthunder. The headliner is intact as well. xD The outside is a little rough... go some rust spots, the hood is junk and along with a few other things. Somebody loved this car on the inside but hated it's guts on the outside. The wheels I'm not to fond of... there ok. I'll keep em until the 5-lug conversion. Maybe. :) Anyhoos, here's a few pics.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Nice find - someday I will find a Turbo Coupe, and then I'll show you... I'LL SHOW YOU ALL!!!:evilgrin:

Ok, I'm feeling better now. You call that rust? Hell, around here they have that much rust on 'em when they're new. That's quite some paint job on that bumper cover though :yuck:

Glad to see you found a good replacement for Darkthunder...
