Hello Everyone
Hey everyone. This is Ray. Recently found this forum. Glad to see so many t-bird guys. I post as TurboRay or Turbobird on the corral, BAM, SVTpreformance, VIStangers, revscene.net, American Mustang, TurboMustangs, TurboFord, TCCOA and SCCOA. So i might run into a few people i know here.
my 9th Thunderbird is a 83 turbo coupe. Bought it as a basketcase. So far the bottem trim has been removed and bottem two tone painted black from the weird grey/green color. The interior is black leather and the seats will be upgraded to 35th anniversary stang in the upcoming weeks. All gauges are hidden and the interior looks stock
Car has been lowered 3 inches. It rides awesome, dosent se on anything. Im really happy with my combo. New shocks, Trim has all been painted body color and window trim is black. Tint to come soon.

I have half a 5lug conversion. I just need rear axles. I have many different sets of 5 lug 17's i can throw on there.
I have been a mechanic, Tire salesman/installer and currently am welding alum for a living. I know my cars and am a mod on several sights so if anyone needs help maybe some of my exp will come in handy. As well i know more then i want to admit on wheels/tires. And i buy/sell them constantly so if anyone wants opinions on what stuff it worth lemme know.
My car when i first got it. And after a few months in the same parking spot. Also some in progress pics from when i blew the HG and took my time putting it back together and painted the engine bay and stuff.
