My newly aquired 88 Thunderbird V6 Reply #34 – October 20, 2012, 01:18:56 PM I love the cars look, awesome lowered. I really like the basic wheels, nothing flashy but they go well with the silver car. The small white wall looks great too. Man you should keep the v6 in it and just daily it! Worry free, simple, good looking cruiser. Quote Selected

Mark VII themed rear setup and going with Mark VII 5 Lug rotors and reman calipers. Also possibly running 88+ LSC 16in wheels with low profile tires and welding 4 wheels in 2 final custom wide rear wheels to run a 255/50ZR16. Ill be installing a Mark VII 8.8 soon with discs and possibly a 3.55 ring and pinion to complement my 93 Supercoupe SC 3.8L engine and trans swap!! Quote Selected
