I have 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe Medium Red w/ a5-speed manual Trans paid $1000.00 for it and it looks like but runs great and also has a few extra stuff done to it.
Motor Mods- Top End Rebulid w/ Port and Polised Head and New Turbo they were done around a year ago and the car sat for 9 months so it doesn't have much miles on the rebuild cams and 30# valves and RollerRocker Arms and Light Weight Aluminum Radiator done around 2500 miles ago, Tinted Windows.
Stero system- Premier sond system, Kenwood CD Player and 6 Pioneer speakers I believe is what they are.
Interior Factory Red Velvor seats, Electronic Climante Control All power incluing seats.
:ttiwwp: Welcome
Heres some pics of the ride.
Solid start....was this car on ebay by chance? because it looks familiar
Them pics might make Vinnie envious!!.If it runs well you got 75% done already.
no it was on Richmond Va Craigslist, Heres some more and better pics. Thanks for the compliments I thought I got robbed in buying the car but sounds like I didn't thanks. Heres more pics.
more pics.
Looks like a great starting point. Keep us updated on progress!
That's the way to buy them, with a lot of the hard work done. Now you have to see it through to the end. As mentioned above, keep us in the loop.
ok well since I getting a great respose what should I do for my first mod that I do.
1- Cobra R's or Shelby GT 500 w/5 lug swoop
2-2 15's w/1500 watt amps 2 of them
and a new Alpine Cda 9815 cd player or Eclipse cd player
w/1500 watt amp to subs and 400 watt amp to speakers.
3-custom made diamond pate Angle eyes headlights and cutom Euro Clear w/ tinted taillights.
What should I do first.
i would like to see the headlights
1st the spoiler looks good
This is what you should do but a picture is worth a 1000 words just remeber your not the 1st one of thinking about some GT500 wheels.
The black and chromes are $135 each at Discount stock offset is 25 make sure to get the 24mm offsets
Also heres a link to a nice 5 lug swap kit with 31 spline axles for $400

Last of all if you get the rims i would paint the car all Black with 2 red racing stripes like the 07 Redline GT500s Concepts they where $1500 more over the Base GT500s.
Note it is not my car at all and is a hell of a nice ride for the price and within a year or less will look great. 2nd of all not everyone likes my ideas But welcome to the site and this is not the only way to fix up the car its just what i would do and thats all.
The headlights sound like a nice idea and i would like to see how they turn out.
how about getting the car painted THEN moding it? just a thought..... as was stated... looks like a solid starting point...
X2 for paint.
Ture paint 1st then pick the rims after.
Ditch the spoiler.....
I would have to agree on the paint, unless your going to mod the body itself.
Get a decent paint job on that bad boy and focus your cash into the suspension/drive train.
I am going to paint it I have to just get the paint and then chosse what pearl I will use, then get a paint gun a compressor So to do this it will cost be bout 1000 to 1500.
I need paint too but I wanted to go fast first, look good second ;) Welcome to the board btw!
''performace is for you-paint is for them'' i would get the car road/race ready first! then paint-then your tunes last, you cant jam out in a cool car that wont run, besides what if you want 2 change something along the way -why paint 2 hoods-3 doors ect ect...keep the wing-keep us posted
The spolier isn't stock. I thought It was.
