Title: Picked up another project last night
Post by: 1WLD BRD on July 11, 2006, 05:23:34 AM
LIKE I NEED ONE!:hick: I couldn't pass up the price.

I went down to Bird Brains this weekend to get some parts for my '88 Bird and ended up coming home with this.

It's an '88 3.8L Bird. body is in great shape, rust wise, but looks like it went through a hail storm.  Needs some interior work too. (front seats)

Should be a fun project.  Already have many plans in the works.

Not bad though, but I think you need to start buying some fox cougars again!

Nice another tue-tone:D. Where do you guys keep finding these cars? I rarely see another Fox T-bird or Cougar in Chicago that's in decent enough shape to consider buying. I want another one:D

Already did some performance and cosmetic mods.

Added an '81 Stang hood scoop, bumped the timming, and added a rear sway bar from a 5.0L Mustang LX.
I currently have 5 project cars:

1985 5.0L Cougar (Undergoing FULL restoration)
1987 5.8L T5 Mustang LX coupe
1988 5.0L T5 Mustang LX coupe
1988 3.8L AOD Tbird
1988 5.0L T5 T bird
