I have an 84 Thunderbird with the TBI 302... I bought this car after I let my girlfriend drive my 86 302 t-bird and ended up in a utility pole. That silver beast was my only true love. Well, I don't have any pictures for ya, but i do plan on it soon.
Heres my list of mods! (took about 3 months)
Swapped the rear end *(8.8 open)
4 wheel disc brakes with proportioning valve adjustment
Duel exhaust w/ 4inch tips
Silverstar headlights
B&M AOD shift kit
New Struts up front, New shocks out back
And the typical repairs... NEW! Waterpump, Alternator, Battery, Starter, Voltage regulator, Tires, Brakes all the way around, and a Fuel pump and filter.
This is the car of my dreams, and when it's done, i'll be one happy teenager.
Things i hope to finish before CatJam:
Turbocoupe Hood
RIMS
Lowering Springs
New windshield
Paint & Body work
Take my TBI and switch to a carburator
Anyway, I can't wait to get pix for ya, and i can't thank you enough for all the information on this site. It's been, and will continue to be a great help!

Sounds like your having fun.
I wish I was a teenager again............as long as I could know what I know now.
"I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then"
Sounds like you gotta a fun project to me.
I remember him doing burnouts in the wendys parking lot when we worked there. That old t-bird was rough looking! I will snag a pic of it next time I'm at the J-yard.
John and his new t-bird are the reason I have my cougar. Cruisin in his car is crazy pimpin and I just had to have it for myself.
That 8.8 is there because we could never get the gear changes right with the 7.5. :grinno:
Can't wait to go to cat jam.
Sounds like a great project car!
Have you found a TC hood yet?
Weve check all the junkyards around here and havn't found one... I want one two, but I may go with the gt style hood scoop.

:grinno: Those pics were hanging on his wall! John was going to give me the car for free but his dad said he couldn't at the last minute. , would have made a good donar car for the cougar.
bump
What's the purpose of bumping this?
Because, you know, we just get SUCH a high volume of threads here.. :p
Any-hoo, shouldn't this one merit a moving to User Rides..? (not that it matters much)
i can get new pics... but i gotta get them from cougerse or something. his uncle died, so i have nobody to talk to. and those are some good pics. memories!
