Well lets start off with how I came to get this car and a little history on it...

Ive always liked the 83-88 thunderbirds Ive had a total of 4 turbo coupes.This car I currently have I have owned for about 3 years now
It was purchased from an older couple about 4 months after i attempted to purchase it while at the local autozone were i was graciously told it was NOT for sale. So i shrugged it off and continued to mod my 86 that I drove at the time.Fast forward 4 months I see this car sitting in a yard with 2 flats and a for sale sign with a price of 800.00.I knew I had to have it a hefty 600 later and a can of fix a flat we were on our way home.It was nothing special a 200k mile well worn medium red turbo coupe.

Then the mods began. Below is after an SVO front brake swap and 94 mustang rear axles. Sitting on a set of weld racing wheels

Did you have to do a five lug conversion to put the mustang wheels on?
