Title: My 88 Bird
Post by: Hotwater on March 23, 2009, 12:00:38 PM
Hey all, figured it was about time I post a couple of pics of my bird. I will try to get some more up for you later but hopefully these will give you an idea. Let me know what you think....

Not a fan of the exhaust but the wheels really set your car off. Looks really well cared for.

Looks pretty good. Can we get some pics from the back? Looks like there isnt alot of backspacing on those rears but I cant tell. Almost looks like the tires might rub if you flex it.

I'll get some more pics up tomorrow. And yes, if I flex too much, it doeshiznit the tires. Of coarse, right now, I need shocks and struts so on a good bump, it hits all 4 tires. I got the wheels and tires for a steel at $250 cash and the BFG's were like brand new. The guy ran them for about a month and decided to do the 5 lug swap. My gain. lol.  And yeah, they are 60 series. 275/60/15 in the rear and I still have traction problems. lol.

Thanks for the comments guys, keep them coming....

Its a Ford V8 logo styled to look kinda like a mix between the old Deuce V8 logos and the 65-66 Mustang 289 logos.

The other is like this but with an 8 on there in place of the 5.0 on my example.

I kinda like the exhaust, it must look sick when you burnout or get sideways in a little gravel!!!!!
