So...most of you know that last summer I bought a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe. I have always wanted one, and finally found one at a decent price and bought it.
Well, since then I've done some work on it, found rust...more rust a few holes in the floor pans etc etc. (not uncommon for a 20 year old car from Western NY). This is what I bought:
Its a complete car, down to the stock interheater and 2 original Anti Lock Brake Master Cylinders. (First US car to offer such a thing standard IIRC) Also was Car and Drivers car of the year that year.
It Features a 2.3l I4 turbo charged engine that pushed 190 HP and 240 torque. Not bad. I always loved the look and had a 1986 cougar xr7 turbo so I know they can perform decently.
Anyway...I ran out of money for it, so for the passed year or so I havent really done anything to it. So I started thinking I would sell it/part it out or whatever.
Well, now with the new job and a bit of extra cash flowing I thought I'd fix it up finally and turn it into something like this:
Which is the same thing, but much shinier.
Aint she purty?
So....enter my friend.
"you know...if you're gonna part it out, you should put the drivetrain in a pinto."
(wheels turn)
ZOMG!!!! That would be AWESOME!!!
Not EXACTLY what I would do to it...but a photo for reference:
