I've loved Ford Thunderbirds since I was a kid. Especially the aerobirds. I owned a V6 88 several years ago. Now I have this 88 Turbo Coupe and I love it.
These are the pictures the guy who sold me this car sent me. Right now I'm in the middle of a turbo upgrade so the car is sitting on jack stands in my garage.

Fabricated waste gate actuator bracket. Not my best welding. My auto-darkening helmet wouldn't work so I had to weld it with my eyes closed.
