This car is now FOR SALE. I have to sell due to military relocation. I love this car and don't wish to part with it, but I cannot afford two cars.... My loss is you gain as I am selling it dirt cheap. E-mail me for more info: nickologely@yahoo.com.

Nickopolis's 1988 Ford Thunderbird I actully lowered it about 1/4" too much- it rubs slightly when turning the wheel all the way one direction. I'm gonna get different springs for the front soon.

I got CHE Adjustable lower control arms to adjust the rear height install & pics soon!

 

Engine as it stands nowNickopolis's 1988 Ford Thunderbird I added a Holley 155lph in tank fuel pump, so it was running rich at even 35psi. I needed to get more air into the engine to compensate, so on goes the intake kit and Cobra manifold! I just added the 1 1/2" shorty hedders and full 2 1/2" exhaust (BBK H-pipe w/cats, Jegs Cat-back). I also added a complete new cooling system with Chrome Edlebrock water pump, Griffen Alum Radiator, and Ford Police hoses to fight to Georgia heat. While in there, I added underdrive pulleys and the MSD Coil.

Got some work done on the Tranny-
When I asked my tranny guy to
"make it strong, and not kick too hard",
all he did was laugh manically..... I'm scared.

It may be awhile before the install, but I got my set of Trick flow heads and 1990 5.0 H.O. Mustang engine waiting for installation....
I'll post new pics soon!
