Title: '87 Tc (new engine/interior pics)
Post by: tc² on April 03, 2007, 07:49:02 PM
She just turned 115k.  It has '88 Valvetrain, 2.5" Duals with Flowmaster 40's, Gillis Stage 2 Boostvalve, etc.  Just got the plates last month.  Also:  you might notice the T-Bird winsheild banner.  Kewlcoug is my brother, he's making vinyls for some of you guys -- and I got to be the ginea pig for the banner.  I think it looks pretty good.  Thanks for looking!

I was going to say lose the mudflaps as well.  Other than that clean car.  What's the spoiler off of?

Some of the pictures make it look like a diecast or matchbox car.

nice work though.

What all is done to it?

*drool*

Reminds me of why I bought mine in the first place. Mustangs may be fast, but T-Birds are *sharp* -- something that no Mustang can ever match.

This is cool...so many young people getting into these cars.  I'm 18 and 'inherited' my Tbird 2-3 years ago, but no serious work had been done until December.  Now it's just snowballin :D .  The H.O. conversion is just amazing...I've always dreamed about having a strong american V8.  Enough about me, your car looks awesome!  I bet it's really fun with the T5 too :) .

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I love the '80s T-Bird logos lol.

I do need to clean up the engine, although I can't hardly justify it when I will probably go to a 351W or 408 or even bigger in the near future.

And yes, the T-5 is amazing.  I can't imagine going back to A4LD!

i bought my first TC at 14, fix it, totaled it, got a second one, fixed it totaled it, now im on my "unofficial" 3rd TC and its get plenty of comment on how clean it is, i leaned over tiem and so was my blue TC. some of us young guys have the good idea, now driving a TC for the past 7 years makes it hard to drive another car due to teh fact my TC is smooth and quiet..... but your car looks nice!
love the color.

just pressure wash the engine compartment, spray some paint over the red (it was a red car at one time) and throw some tire shine on the rest and you be amazed of how clean it will be
