great looking car. I like the mod list as well. Sweetness. I have to say,I've never seen a master cylinder like that on an '88 before. Post up some interior shots as well. we ned the whole package. Again,great looking car. Any idea of the power it's putting to the tires?

the guy said it has air bags within the rear coils so i think the back is low and the front may be normal. Ill work on some int pics. I love the grant steering wheel..handles like a champ too...and puts shame to my almost stock '90 5.0 stang in everyway. Has sunroof also and correct me if im wrong but the sport and lx came with a front grillt? Mine has the turbo coupe front clip. Oh and some 255's in the rear. My guess is as good as urs as far as power. But its pretty much fords 306 with bolt ons...but this was a built motor not a crate motor.

Nice car, tons of mods I'd like mine to get eventually. That master cylinder is the same style my 84 uses.
