Hi, New guy here...

Hello everyone.

I am new to the Thunderbirds, I have been a long time fox Mustang fan and have recently decided to retire my 86 GT in favor of a Fully Loaded 1988 5.0L Thunderbird Sport.

I have a few plans for this car as you will come to see. But hte general idea is a Black loaded Sport V8 with a Turbo Coupe Body.

So, good to be here hope to get to know you all soon.

Welcome to heaven, or pretty near it, lol.

Swapping stuff onto a Sport is akin to transforming a non-5.0 Stang to V8 standards...simple stuff...:D
'98 Explorer 5.0
'20 Malibu (I know, Chevy, but, 35MPG. Let's go brandon, eh)
