'83 Thunderboat Dorm Room Build

very interesting choice of platform, personally i think it would be really cool on some old school JDM wheels, super wide Equip 01's would be my choice

I agree with you on the old school JDM wheels! If I find a nice wide set of japanese 15 inch wheels, I'll definitely rock them.

Simply badass

Thanks for all of the compliments! More pictures coming soon. Anyone who knows of a good lip that might fit this car, feel free to let me know

Ok, the car is getting new parts finally.. Sorry I was getting settled in at college. It's now a full blown drift slut. Pictures when I get home

That's pretty gangster right there. With a hint of oldschool shatokan style. More please.

sick car! the center exhaust and headlights look great!

the 2.3turbo can handle more boost then a 5.0 can, I wouldn't bother swapping in a older 5L since the block usually cracks under boost

very cool car dude. you should definitely keep the 4 cylinder in it! they have some potential for sure. my dad raced hydroplanes when i was a kid, 2.5 litre class and we ran 2300 fords full balance and blueprint and port work, zoomie pipes etc. those motors would spin past 7500rpm no problem and make power all the way. no water pump on them in the boats either just forced water cooling from the hull!

that aside, i have always wanted a turbocoupe like you have here. Car looks great and you have put a ton of effort into it. its come a long way!
