Its all done and drove it a week.

What a gas this thing is to drive, so much lighter feeling than the 87 turbo coupe. (just has no traction lol)

I did all the normal go fast tricks,lots of porting only thing left is the 3" exhaust and the 8.8 swap,oh i just got some ET streets for the 10 holes.

Looks great. But what are you doing for a hood to direct air to the intercooler? Let me guess you're grafting the Tbird scoops onto the Mustang hood. A buddy of mine did that to his GT back in the early 90's and it looks good.

I thought about the scoops from t/c but i went with a 79 to 82 turbo stang scoop with the hole just over the IC and just pulled off the rubber boot that seals the IC to the hood.
When i hit the drag strip (evry friday night in summer) i will be resting a bag of ice on it.

Sorry about getting everyone on the paint issue I know that you have done extreme long hours and painstaking measures to get such a clean install. Just that paint Speaks and Makes the install just that much better you have a touch for everything in its place and that itself speaks volumes. :worship:
