Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums

That's right, me. The guy with eleventy billion TBirds and tons of parts need something.:hick:

I need the coolant overflow tank that sits in front of the rad on the V8 cars, ASAP. Plenty to trade.

YOU need a part? lol
I can run out and check my parts car.
Jim

I have one on my V-8 parts car.Trade you for a 1988 console decal for one power seat,power windows and mirrors (in black).Let me know and I'll ship it tomorrow.

! Mine is the mustang type. I was going to trade for the same parts! LOL

So,wanna trade???

Sorry, the new stuff has to have sales reciepts, I'm a legitimate business, remember? Used parts are more leniant. Any ideas guys?

How about I add $10.00 and you pay the difference?

I will add that I'm not sure if its the same but my 88 3.8 cougar has an rad overflow bottle in front of the rad. Also a buddy of mine had a Mark and it had the overflow bottle up there also.

I'm not sure about the bottle from the 3.8, but the one your buddy has is the one he needs for sure. Their are twins to the bottle thats in the 5.0 T-birds..........

Aerobird, I have the bottle you need, I'll see how dirty it is and take a pic of it today...It came out of a 88 5.0 T-bird....

First person with a front mount water bottle gets a used part! The JY has one, but it's cracked :(

I have one but it's hacked up thanks to the PO. Sorry mike

I still have one in excellent shape.Tell me what you want to trade for.I don't know what you have in mind.

Yes I do have one form a 3.8 88 cougar, I wasn't trying to give it to aerobrid as I know it is cracked to all get out. I was just trying to point out that maybe a 3.8 unit is the same or could be used in that app. Also look at the newer cars. I know the 89-93 3.8l cougar/birds have a rad overflow bottle up from of the rad also. That way maybe you could find a nice one that would work but not be the original one but hey it would work.

Vinnie,

What do you need for your car that's a used part? I'll trade you even!

All I need are decent grey sunvisors (mine are lighted).The rest I pretty much have at this point.I also have one of the door screw covers.I thought that I had 3,but I have one,and I have already decided to use a different set of panels.You can have that cover as well.I've ben gathering parts for months,and I'm nearing completion (except for the new paint,which will come later,heads and valvebody,which are being worked right now).

Grey visors you say? I might actually have that. Except they came out of an 84. I'll take a look at them...

Still interested?

I only have 1 visor in grey. I do have a decent det of lighted Dark Blue ones.

I'm really more interested in a mint set of door cups for the base panels so I can re-pop them!

There's no reason for the bottles to be different from the V6 to the V8.  Both the V6 and V8 use the same radiator, and should use the same overflow bottle.

I don't have mint cups,BUT,the ones on the tan door panels I have are only missing a small piece.I don't see why I can't fix them with modeling plastic and a strong glue for "re-popping".Do you want to trade the visors?Also,If I can fix these cups,I'll send them to you if you'll send me a new pair when they are ready.What do you say?

I have one from an 86 V6 if it's the same. Let me know Mike

Any imperfections/repairs in the originals will be on every repop. So if it has a "grain" molded in, then a flat repair spot will stick out like a sore thumb.

FILA, send me a pic.

Do you think it would be worth it if they were smooth all over?Finding replacements is nearly impossible.

I dunno. Which one of yours is unbroken? I'll see if I can find an unbroken other side.

Just to be clear, it's the overflow botthe on the V8, driver fender, off an 86 Elan will work right?

I'm looking for the overflow bottle that goes in front of the rad. I could care less what it came on. Layla has the factory TC one that sits on the driver's fenderwell by the battery, and I need to move it to make room for the oil catch can.

Both of the ones I know of are on the Fender. I'll keep an eye out though as I'm probaly roaming the JY for a bit today. What could I find one in front of the rad on?

Mike,

If you are still lookng, PM turbo83coupe. Frank has the one that was in my TC, and I think he switched over to the one from my Capri when he went with the FMS front mount. For others, here is a picture of what Mike is looking for:

Bob Myers

I got nothin like that. I'll check the 88 parts car though

Thanks Bob ;)

pm'ed you Mike

You don't have an 88 Parts car.  Stop selling parts off a car that you don't have.

Wow, BURN! Could you elaborate for the uninformed Claude?

Martin is contemplating buying an 88 TC parts car near fila.  The car has not been purchased.... but fila has been trying to sell parts off of it. 

Watch out for the "88 parts car", there isn't a parts car!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAA!!

Claude, I need to mail you a 6-pack, you always have the dirt ;)

1. I wasn't selling parts. 2, I was only offering to look at it. No need to freak out as I was trying to help.

Claude likes Michelob Ultra... Tell him it's a girls beer! :flip: :evilgrin:

I have an '88 parts car.
