Title: 83 Turbo Coupe in Mustang Magazine
Post by: 1986Tbird on April 02, 2005, 11:36:35 AM
Hey guys, I was at the airport for 4 hours so i decided to buy some magazines, I got Car Craft and this other one I had never heard of. It said premier issue on the cover. Its called FORD Builder. I read through it, it was ok. Then I get to page 92 with an article called Boosted Bird, Lighter and Faster Than Your Mustang, With Half the Engine. Theres four pages with lots of pics. I thought this was cool so I just wanted to share it with u guys. I will see if i can get a pic later.

I got this issue and meant to scan it a while ago. These are low quality versions so I could post them here. I have better quality if you want them. 4 scans total. This is a very nice car.

Not too bad at all. I'd heard about the article but hadn't seen it yet.  I still don't think it needs the 87-88TC hood though, but that's just me.  Also, he went through all that trouble to redo the suspension..and it looks like he left the stock 88 brakes on there...

I do have to point out one misprint.  When they talk about KB recognizing the need for T-Bird-specific parts, that's not true...it was me ;)  Too bad I couldn't do things like I wanted to.

great article.  I would assume he did leave the stock brakes, as he said that is the next area he wants to upgrade.  He also left it 4 bolt too.  Wish my '85 looked like that.
