My new 88 TC!

I will be getting more pics up when the car gets here to its new home but for now here is what I got. Bought my first fox thunderbird 2.5 weeks ago and found this TC about a week later! I love the body lines of these cars! Plus no one around here has one so thats pretty cool. This car already has some things done to it but I plan on changing the wheels and getting it tuned to make sure everything is running correctly when I get it home. I want to get it tuned because I have never had a turbo car before and I dont want it to blow up on me! lol

Interior could use a little work but its in decent shape

So, did it make it home yet?


Hell NO! lol
Its killing me, I look at the pictures atleast 2x a day. Friend of mine has been waiting on a guy down in Wilmington to fix the driveshaft on a lifted Ramcharger so he can trade him for his motorcycle. So a possible trip to wilmington is in the works for this weekend. Unfortunately I wont have the cash til July but Im planning on test driving it and checking it over real good before July comes around.

idk if youve ever been to Masonboro Island (sp?) but its this little island only accessible by boat, with the most fantastic beach ever. very few people. and bigger waves than those of wrightsville for some reason...
