  • My turd work in progress 92 T-Bird SC.

    This is my 92 Thunderbird Super Coupe. It's a complete work in progress, so don't be hating too much. Also, let it be known that the body damage, paint, douchebag flames, and hood were not done by me, but the previous owner. Yes, it looks slow because it is slow.

    So far I have rebuilt the engine and transmission, fixed the headlight panel, put the new fender and drivers mirror on. I have a new passenger door, but it's laser pink, so I am not going to put it on till I am ready to paint. My paint of choice is going to be Bright Atlantic Blue.

    Now, some of you might be wondering "Why the hell would you do so much to a turd?". Well, I am doing it for a number of reasons. I have always wanted a Super Coupe and this one was given to me as a birthday present. There were only 1250 made in 92 with a 5 speed. Lastly I have a certain attachment to this car. I had the opportunity to swap it out with another 92 5 speed that looked just like it, but in pristine condition, but I just didn't like it, kinda hard to explain.

    Anyway, flame suit on, bash away.

    Mods list:
    75MM BBK Throttle Body
    C&L 75MM MAF
    .20 over hardened hyper eutectic pistons
    Full 3" exhaust with magnaflow resonators and mufflers
    3" Pulley on the blower.
    BBK Short throw shifter

        I can dig it. Although turbocoupe > supercoupe and 2JZ turbocoupe > everything.

          Shit, I would add that passenger side door to the mods list. That is some sweet as body roll.

          Good luck getting it the way you want it. Just ditch the hood.

            I like the old turbo coupes too, but they can't come close to matching the SC in refinement and comfort levels. Only thing I dislike about the MN12 birds is how much they weigh compared to the Fox birds.

                Lol. I would ditch the hood, but the stock one is even worse IMO. If there was a better option out there, I would gladly take it, but the Cervinis hood is better than stock.

                  I wouldn't worry about the plates, I don't think anyone is going to rush out and steal it

                      I dig it! Love the S/C's. I'd still ditch the hood though, find a clean stocker.

                        I like the stock hood and front end on the 94-95 SC. Not a super big fan on the 89-93 SC.

                            Sweet! Save yourself some time, heartache, and money - and put a V8 in it!

                            No haters here man, we've all had/have project cars. I like it. Somebody has to keep the Tbirds going, thanks for doing your part.

                              I think you should leave it red. Find a stock hood and get the paint and body work done first.
