I went to a SCCA meet this weekend and my wife is hooked so I will be joining her. She will drive her Corvetter and I will drive the 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe I bought to use as a donor for my Locost but now it will be used for some budget racing. I have a spare engine so the Locost build will continue but in the mean time I am going to race the Tbird. The Tbird looks like hell but is actually a straight rust free car. Only issue was the guy I got it from ripped the dash out to replace the heater core and never put it back together. He drove it to my house so I know it runs and he said it builds boost.

It will be 100% stock except for subframe connectors and maybe a Isuzu NPR intercooler at some point.

I am ripping out the carpeting and other stuff to reduce weight as much as I can. I am going to try to fit the dash back in place. No telling what is in the trunk either, the car itself was full of parts from another turbo coupe.

I am going to try to go as low budget on this thing as I can.
