Here's my new Bird. :D An 88 TC w/ T-5. The interior is mint. Way better than Darkthunder. The headliner is intact as well. xD The outside is a little rough... go some rust spots, the hood is junk and along with a few other things. Somebody loved this car on the inside but hated it's guts on the outside. The wheels I'm not to fond of... there ok. I'll keep em until the 5-lug conversion. Maybe. :) Anyhoos, here's a few pics.
...
some more...
it looks nice man how about some interior pics :D
Why A Five Lug Conversion You Already Have The Five Lug On There
where do you see five lugs?
That's not bad at all. Good choice:)
looks to have the aftermarket header panel
needs work, be still a nice find, how much did you pay for it?
engine bay looks empty without the factory electric fans
hey man, nice find. it looks to be in pretty good shape other tha like you said the hood and a few other little things. great car!
so what are the plans for it....?
the lazy s painted right over the fog lights...?
Nice find - someday I will find a Turbo Coupe, and then I'll show you... I'LL SHOW YOU ALL!!!:evilgrin:
Ok, I'm feeling better now. You call that rust? Hell, around here they have that much rust on 'em when they're new. That's quite some paint job on that bumper cover though :yuck:
Glad to see you found a good replacement for Darkthunder...
You Dony See Them But They Are There.just Remove The Center Cap And Wala
4 lug my man...
but just in case i am, i could be wrong.
Paid $300 plus the 86 Celebrity... which I got for free. xD I noticed overspray on alot of the cars there. A fox stang had red tailpipes. lol. Oh and I'll go out and end the 4-lug/5-lug in a little bit.
I suck at interior shots. Oh, and the lug question. :)
Over all its nice car to get.
Gota love the firebird wing on it.
I have a wing just like that and mocked it up on my 85,
Looks ok
Haha I Got You ......
Why Would You Think A Fox T Bird Would Have Five Lug's ....
not a bad looking interior. dont get worried if your dash is gone someday it will be in good hands ;)
re-painted dash, or overly armor all'ed?
Yep lotsa armour all. I was quite suprized myself... :) The camera doesn't do it justice... especially with that 1,000,000 watt mega multi-flash extravaganza.
Got the rear 5-Lug conversion done. :) Kinda wish I had lowered it though. But it's my dd, and michigan roads ain't no joke.
Pics suck because the garage is tiny. lol.
Looks cool with those stang rims. How the hell are you able to do a five lug conversion so quick when i cant seem to replace a heater core?
cool beans. Do any other center caps fit that rim? it looks pretty good on that car. with a drop down of course.
I could probably 5-lug a car in the same amount of time as it took me to put the heater core in the TC. Niether is a bad job.
I like the tri-bars, i thought about putting some on my TC, painted black of course ;)
this is my 3rd 5-lug conversion... it's pretty easy. with drums you can do it in an afternoon. i've done roughly the same in heater cores... i'll take the 5-lug any day. :)
i'm still looking for tbird centers that will fit. i'm just going to go to the boneyard one day and see what i can find.
i'm still thinking about painting mine black and leaving the lip. then i could fill the centercap in and paint matching will be easy breezy.
Id like to see them done cobra R style, with the polished center, but then youre stuck with the pony
Lookin' good, plus you paid 5 bucks less than what I did, and got a car with a gas tank, hehehe...
anyway, good progress, keep them pics comin!
I love those wheels w/ the white raised lettering ..Bravo!
Thanks, but the current car is at the bottom of page two. :)
Well I'm still looking for parts for a 5 lug, once i get some money. Plus I gotta pick up a Good heater core, not Autozone. I havent done either, but I would rather try Lug conversion anyday. That dash scares me.
Heater core is easy. Just be patient, and take your time. Dont rush.
Took me one hour to change my heater core.
You are a bad mamma jamma! The fastest I got was 2 hrs. And that's without AC.
I was cold (imagine that, changine a heater core) so I rushed through. I didn't put the A/C dryer back on.
Dont mean to hijack but does anybody know where you can find those rims? The ones that were on it when you got it not the Stang rims.
there was a guy on NATO selling a set. he had the staggered set. deep in the rear and not so in the front where as i had deep front and rear. =/ i'll look though my address book and see if he still has them.
