ThunderBird TCR
2.3L Turbo 5-Speed

This is my long awaited TBird TC. After buiding up Darkthunder and tearing it apart, I knew that I wanted three things. Turbo power, 5-speed, and rear disc... and the 87-88 TC had them all. But I wouldn't have this car if it wasn't for my lovely girlfriend. =)

Here is how she looked when I brought her home. I knew right away I was going to get rid of those wheels. Shortly thereafter I found a set of Turbines to replace the ARE's.
