Newbie With Pics Of my Thunderchicken December 16, 2005, 03:38:46 PM Like the title says, im a newb to the forums (but not to my bird, found this site from Turboford.net), and i figured a good first post would be of my Thunderbird. It's a 1988 Turbo Coupe 5-speed. It's a fun high school caR (though not my first by far), and somewhat of a unique daily driver (at least around here, where the only other tbird i have seen is a pos white v-6 on the verge of junkyard glory...) Well here it is, all cleaned up, after my friend waxed it for me. I'll see you guys around the board! Quote Selected

I like taking 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon in the summer to wax my Bird. I usually put the ball game on the radio and wax. I wax it once a month even though it only gets washed twice a year and the rest of the time I just dust it. Car hasn't seen rain since Aug. '03. Mabey I'm Quote Selected

Newbie With Pics Of my Thunderchicken Reply #13 – December 17, 2005, 09:11:02 AM Waxing is fun. I too enjoy taking time when I have it to get the cars nice and shiney:D Only downside is the muscle aches I get the next day from several hours of 'wax on, wax off'. Usually wax about 3-4 cars whenever I go to wax just 1. Quote Selected
whoa Reply #14 – December 17, 2005, 11:24:32 AM Wow, Thanks for all the comments guys!! Not much is done to it yet, i put a cone air filter where the stock (and hideous unless sparkling) airbox goes, It had a Boost Valve when i got it, and the exhaust is cut off after the first cat because it was breaking at the welds (will get full exhaust soon though). This car looks a lot better than when i picked it up. The wax job did wonders, it was incredible. Before, even when i washed it, it always looked cloudy black... My friend said a wax would fix it, and i did not believe him, but i was wrong! My Friends and i have always liked the look of black wheels, esp. on black cars, and this case was no different. Semi Gloss Black Bomb can, it came out nice i think. Kinda looks mean hehe. I will try and get some interior shots of it in the next few days, the interior was in great shape when i got the car, it is blue cloth, with no tears or rips or anything. I found receipts of a turbo rebuild from High Tech Turbo showing my turbo was rebuilt in 2001. This was very pleasing. I have a lot of plans for this car in the next few months, including a fine slew of go fast goodies and some Suspension and ect. Well, i will be around, Thanks again For all the comments guys!!-Austin Quote Selected
