First of all, I am new to this message board. Secondly here is my story of the new car.
My girlfriend and i just bought this car a couple weeks back. I have always loved the T-Bird Turbo Coupes, i had two 88's (one was a wrecked a few years ago. :mad: and the other i sold to my brother to pay for classes)
I really regretted selling the last turbo coupe i had but atleast it is still in the family. So anyway we found this cougar XR-7 for sale and i thought why not its practically the same car as a t-bird. I must say, i love the car (except for the auto trans)
I have bought a hood from an 88 TC that i will put on as soon as i get it painted.
I also have bought a set of turbine wheels from an 88 mustang GT that will be going on shortly.
Just wanted to say hi to all my fellow fox t-bird/cougar enthusiasts
Looks like a good start man. Welcome to the site.
V8 car?
Very nice ride & Welcome to Our Forum. ;)
its a 2.3L turbo (i don't know what it is i love that engine)
Nice car !!! I like the ten holes better than the turbines,especially polished.Either way,you really can't go wrong.Any future plans we should know about?Also,WELCOME !!!
hmm...thats the 1st cougar I have seen with a 2.3T but hey im still new to this thundercat stuff myself! lol
In the short term....the TC hood, and turbines, intercooler possibly front mount, put the A/C compressor back on, and fix the little things/
distant future plans (need money) i would like to rebuild the engine, new turbo, 8.8'' rear end, new paint, etc the list goes on, lol
welcome!!!!!
84-86 XR-7 are 2.3T, 87-88 5.0.
Car looks great, like the color. Is the center of the hood black?
Did anyone else notice the grille and headlight buckets are black? I think that looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. Nice car man, welcome to the site.
Yes it is the previous owner put the decal on. I like how it looks on the car.
Thanks! all the chrome has been blacked out on the car (previous owner) It works out because Im not big on chrome. lol
Welcome aboard...................I think you will enjoy yourself here !!!!, lots of good people
Nice Cougar, welcome.
Thats what I did to mine as well. You sir, have very good taste ;)
Welcome! Nice car!
Nice car, welcome aboard. I have the same car that I am putting together now. On your car on the fender am I seeing some emblem or is it a reflection. If its a emblem can you tell me what it is so I know what I am missing.
Here is the emblem, i beleive they were only on 84 XR-7's, however at some point in this car's life it got them too, :D
They do look way better. That is kinda in my plans. I am putting together my build thread right now.
+1 on the turbines. Thats what I am going with. But I am powder coating mine.
Good luck with the car. It looks nice already, Welcom to the cougar club.
Nice looking car! I kinda like the stock hood with the black on there myself. Have fun with it and welcome aboard.
