Hi, I own a 1988 Thunderbird and parts are really hard to come by, and when I find them, they are OEM and are way overpriced. I was wondering if other Ford products are interchangeable, like the Mustang. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What parts?
Body, thunderbird and cougar. some things like doors and windsheild can be had from a mark7. Most interior parts are reletively generic, minus specific panels.
I don't think the Mark VII doors would work. They might work on an 83-86 (and even then I don't know whether the body lines would match), but Mark VII's never got the flush glass of the 87-88 T-Birds and Cougars
Doesn't stop anyone from swapping 83-86 doors onto 87-88 cars. there is a big differance between compatable and correct. after playing with a few mark7 door panels at the junkyard and comparing them, i think the mark 7 doors would work.
