1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe November 04, 2012, 06:05:00 PM Thought I posted in here already.. But here you guys go.This is my 1988 Thunderbird T/C that I got for $750 dollars, that was in worse condition than how I have it now.The engine bay was disgusting, the interior was missing pieces and apart... It currently has 181k Miles but doesn't feel like it.. other than the auto-ride not working on the bad shocks.The driver seat was cracked in half and wouldn't stay up in the upright position. It was also missing its middle arm rest, but a member on here found me one on eBay.It has a cat-back mandrel bent single pipe exhaust system.. So no more dual exhaust.It has some clear coat spots missing hear and there, like on the fenders, sail panels, bumper. The side on the driver-side was sed by who knows what and needs body work, but you cant notice it unless you are close to it. It had cheap tint on it too when I got it, but that's long gone since I got it.The parts it needs are; New shocks/struts, a passenger power window motor gear, 2 rear tires (came with 2 brand new front ones), and new light-bulbs here and there.. and the obvious turbo coupe side door badges. Oh and my front right turn signal has a loose wire somewhere, because it only works some of the time..Here's a link to the album.http://imageshack.us/g/1/9850490/ Quote Selected

Then give it a shower, you'll appreciate it more when it shines. It's also a LOT funner to work on a clean car than a dirty one. Believe me I know. I also paid $750.00 for my "86" Cougar, but that was seven years ago. Have fun! Quote Selected
