 Project: 1995 Thunderbird.
ummm well... i thought i had a build thread on here but apparently i don't. sooooooooooooo....
plans have not really changed too much. still looking to lower her with some 1.5" eibachs, she still needs to be repainted but i have yet to decide on a color.
So here's what she's got as of now. -'96/'97 cobra r cowl hood -march performance udp's -removed air silencer
here's what's to come and money permits
-swap either a mark 8 motor or a '99 to '04 cobra motor... both would much prefer cobra motor with sc! built bottom end, built heads, much bigger cam... you know, all the good stuff! -rebuild stock 4r70 tranny... install shift kit and marauder torque convertor -mark 8 drive shaft -true duals with high flow cats, x-pipe and roush mufflers -cobra pumpkin with 3.55 gears and super coupe half shafts... or mark 8 half shafts -cobra radiator -180 degree t-stat -96/97 t-bird header panel with headlights and clear corners -would like to complete interior -convert to mustang hubs -'03 Cobra wheels
as of now she needs some suspension work done! need new UCA's and LCA's... need new sway bar end links... what i'd like to do is put all new suspension under her and then do some extra bracing so keep her nice and solid!

 Re: Project: 1995 Thunderbird.
little update here... got new uca's and rear sway bar links. ordered new lca's last night. come monday i'll be ordering a set of '03 cobra wheels. also kicking around the idea of going ahead and buying some eibach 1.5" lowering springs from my buddy. before i put them on the car i'll probably cut a coil out. here's a pic of the wheels.  i'll get some pics of the other goodies too.

 Re: Project: 1995 Thunderbird.
Well jobe, for about 700 dollars or so you can have a set of ýour own. They only sell sets of 4. They ship for free... ýou better hurry though. They only had 3 sets left when I bought mine so... 2 sets left. Brad said they won't be making anymore for a long time so... They have some nice Bullits though. Come in a set of 18x9's for the front and 18x10's in the rear. Like 190 a piece!
