Title: My 87 Thunderbird
Post by: RDOG on August 06, 2005, 02:38:37 AM
I finally got this thing registered after 3 long years of fighting with DMV. Now I am going to complete the kit I made and paint her up. Check her out........

Added a front shot. Car is dumped on H&R lowering springs. Intstalling a FMS rear spoiler and creating side skirts and rear skirts since I cant find the FMS ones I want. Big NPR intercooler, hence the big opening up front. Built motor. Pics soon

That looks good. You say you have pieces made for the sides and rear?

No offense man but its a little too import lookin for me.  However I do respect the amount of work I'm sure you've put into that.  You mention a built motor, what kind of engine mods do you have or have planned?

What have you done to the motor?

Already on....
Gutted upper, profiled and ported lower, 65mm TC SC TB, A237 cam, ported head with big valves, underdrive pulley, boblee header, accufab fpr, T3/T4 with 57 trim and .63 turbine housing, Stinger 3" downpipe, rebuilt short block with about 20 miles on it so far, Forge BPV, Big NPR IC, Essy cam adj cam pulley and tensioner.

Soon to be installed after 3 long years of DMV BS!!!....
ATR downpipe and wastegate, and EEC Tuner, ATR duals, 3" high flow cat, high flow Y pipe to the duals.

Should be good for 300+ power.

I am sure once I am done the "old schoolers" will not like my 87. They will like my 86 because it will retain that old school style and even old school upgrades. My 87 will be beyond unique when done, I might even install some lambo door hinges. If you look close at the head lights, I have all clear lenses. Once buffed out and pics taken when not raining, you'll see the difference.  ITS GONNA BE WICKED SICK!!!!!!
