Default TurboBird pics

I took a few pics of my 88 TC. I picked it up for $1500 a couple months ago.
I put a new IHI Turbo on it, still working out a few bugs. This summer I am going to put on new shocks and struts, cut the coils and install a RS BOV. Probably some exhaust mods as well.

i kinda grew up in one of those....meaning my cousin who i spent a lot of time with had one. My dad is the youngest of 9, so when i saw cousin i mean im 24 and shes 41 LOL!! Anyway, i went everwhere with her and her kids who are my age and some of my best friends, i always liked it but she HATED it. I would LOL cause she would drive that car and then wear a calvin pissing on the ford sign shirt. BUT, that car was how i was introduced to turbos. I remember when i first learned to read i asked what turbo meant. She nailed it and did a smokey burnout from the light we were sitiing at and said "turbo means i can do that around a porsche, if the car doesnt break!" LMAO! Shes so bad ***. BTW, pretty cool cousin, currently she has a 96 WS6 Harley Davidson Edition. Slammed and so black

It seems like alot of people that I talk to had experiences with a TC at some point in there life. I get tons of story's similar to this one.

My dad had a Silver 87 TC in the mid 90's, I have wanted one ever since.
