Car is gone. All parts are off the market at this point
How are the seats?
Driver seat is spoken for, but I might have a set of blue to replace with. Not TC seats though
pull the front wheels off and take pictures of the inner wheel well and as much of the strut tower as you can and post them up on your other thread. that way if there is any rust at all, more people can determine if it's worth saving or not
Tomorow. it's not at my house but a fellow local members house. I'm waiting on him to send me pics tonight or I'll take them my self tomorow. It is lookin better to part it now as I'd rather to save the Fila and do it right. Even if I part this one, I've still got an ace up my sleeve
I need the 1/4 windows if the trim is nice.The console lid if it's in good shape.
Console lid looks to be IIRC as does teh 1/4 windows. Pics later today vin man. Anyone else
does this include rear axle?
Um,perhaps I'm lost.What is "IIRC"?
By the way,the door panels on the Bird we talked about are wasted.Sorry.I do have a set of grey Cougar panels that remind me of the upscale TC panels if you're interested.I have the lights,armrests,and map pockets.I have the straps as well,and i believe i have a set of screw cover caps.
iirc if i recall correctly, and yea hes keeping the rear end for fila
Well if you part it let me know what you want for the seats.
We've spoken about what I'd like from the car, right Fila man?
I'd be interested in the front bumper cover if it's intact. I live near Pittsburgh so it wouldn't have to be shipped.
Unless you can change my mind. I kinda had my mind set on using it or trading for a 8.8 with 3.73's and alittle cash. Let me know what ya gots in mind though
Preivious owner wants the driver seat for his but I get what came out of his car. Still looks fine but it's a bit worn in the feel. It's not as firm to the feel if you will. Let me know what you want and I'll work with ya
As to everyone else, the car is make offers for parts. If it's big come get it. Otherwise YOU PAY SHIPPING! As of now, motor, trans, rear, and seats are spoken for. Anything else?
No problem, I'll just use my xr7 one that I was holding onto.
Hey now.... Ill trade for that bad boy

I think we have a new parts car hear
WOW.. where the hell is that?!
that ain't pics of a '57 Belvedere, is it?
I'd say parts car.
looks like the framerail where the k-member bolts to.
Strut tower, driver side. Another person is telling me I can patch weld that with a good peice from another donor car.... It's a great condition car except for there. Anyone see welding that possable or on to parting it?
Send me pics of the console lid and the windows 1/4 windows) to me at vinnietbird@sbcglobal.net I need good windows before I have the car painted.
Later today Vinnie
as long as there is enough to weld a good patch to, it can be fixed.. i would do it, but hey, it's your car:hick:
id be interested in the full lock set w/keys.
doors, ignition, trunk, glove box, all of them with keys to match.
are they original turbo keys, or recuts?
Original turbo keys. I'll try to pull the locks and be in touch. As for the welding, I'm all for saving the car but I need someone with a strut tower patch for me
Is it the same color? Any pics? IDK my interior is Raven so i would be completely changing the seats if i went this way. I really only need a drivers seat if i could find a good one. I will have to think about it.
Exact same seat. Just alittle softer. Pics later when I go to rechck my rust hold from hell.
Does the foam feel like its ripped?
As far as repairing that rust. I am all for fixing rust but that looks pretty bad there isnt any metal in the pic, that i can see, to weld a patch to.
I'll put a whole new ****in strut tower in it if I have to. But no, it just feels "softer" on the seat. No tears, nothing like that.
i could go to the junkyard and cut 1 out for you and ship it to you.. then all you need is someone to weld it in:welder:
I WANT EVERYTHING I NEED FOR THE DISC BRAKES TO WORK!!! lol ill talk you about pricing on aim
Turbo 88, I mihgt just take you on that. I'll let you know by the end of the day.
alright.. tomarrow i will stop by the junkyard and see what they'll want for it. probably won't be too much
Yeah save it if you can. Everyone these days is like 'theres plenty more on the road, sacrifice this one to keep those going' well if you keep that idea going pretty soon they're all gonna be sacrificed.
my point exactly!!! i love 87-88 fox tbirds and it hurts me to see a row of 10 or more in a junkyard, when they all have the potential to be great cars.
That car is ****ed.
It's dead..... Parts are now open..... Name prices....
I went & looked at this car just a bit ago with the Fila man... you could probably patch & weld, but it reeeeally isn't worth it. The quarters are falling out of the car. I opened up about a 3"x10" hole in the rear quarters with my hand. He got a good deal for a parts car.
Oh, and vinnie, I checked out the console lid, it's in good shape and the latch even works.
Rest of the Int is in good condition also. Door panels look good, blue trim in the car looks good. I'm willing to let the suspention go also if it's worth my while. Only things I will NOT give up is the motor/trans/drive shaft and anything that goes with either of those. They are spoken for. I'm willing to trade for cirtin things also, so humor me with what ya got
it's a shame you're in ohio.. i'd take the hood in a jiffy:hick:
Are you coming to catjam?
I've junked lots nicer cars than that, hell hope you've had your tetb-hole shot...
I love confidence. Before I found the strut tower, I still would have junked it. There are parches of rust on nearly every sturctrual surface. No matter how nice the INT, trim and seats are, if the structure is gone, there is no saving it
doubt it, i'm buying a tc from cougarman and i doubt that or my car will be done by then
I duno, I might have a Local that wants it. If you can figure something out let me know
Pics,homie?
Just hooked ya up in a PM vinnie.

Car was covered untill I took these pics. The windows atleast
when are you gonna start strippin it?
ill take some pics of the locks and keys as soon as you get them all out
As soon as tomorow.
What condition is the front bumpercover in? How much you want for it?
I belive it's spoken for. Do you want the bumpre cover or the header panel itself?
Front bumper cover, trunk lid, hood, passenger fender are all spoken for too.
Mike is the engine harness cut up? If not i may want to take it and the air meter off of your hands..
You got any better pics of the seats, And the other driver seat that would be with them?
No right now but will soon. The other driver seat will replace what is in the car, but it's the exact same thing.
you! I want another TC hood. I gots an idea. Yeah that car is royally ****ed.
hey mike how bout the drivers side fender to my tab?
John, someone else called all they body stuff but I'll ask.
Claude, I just saw you post and if it's part of the motor, I'll have to ask someone else as well, the while motor/trans setup is called
i also want the hood scoops
Maybe... I have to ask who called them. You guys have to pick the stuff which people already caled
if you want parts that are already spoken for on his, check out my post and tell me. ill pull what ever!
Yeah, what Mason said. Betwen us we have about 1.75 full cars to sell. Feel free to post in here Mason if you have something I don't.
This is probably the most confusing for sale post ever.
How about starting to list up parts (preferably in the first post) and start keeping track of what's claimed and what is still available?
Owch, Thats some nasty rusting.
Will a Locking Fuel Door from an 87-88 fit an 83-84?
If so and if yours has it, i might be interested in the setup.
I so want that hood... Too bad your so far away.
I've got a bright red TC hood for my midnight blue car... lol. :hick:
you gonna add my locks/keys to the "spoken for" list?
Mike, it'll be easier for you to make up a list of what is NOT available for sale off the car rather than what is.
Updated on the first page. *should* have pictres of everything that everyone wants today. If you want something you need to get a request to me by 3pm as thats when I start on this beast
I want the whole "Locking Fuel Door" setup + Switch/Button and all Screws, Dont worry about all the wiring for it, just get as much as you can.
***Need clarification that this setup will fit an 83-84 properly...
Also the external Bird badges behind the quarters, If they are in good shape.
*should* as it's just a soloniod and a botton. Can't promise anything though
Need the lid and Hinges too, That's what i was mostly concerned might not fit right.
Anyone know for sure?
Again, I think it *should* fit. So you want the fuel door, hinges, popper, botton and wire to splice into ?
Yea, the whole setup.
I've got the flip open standard lid, Want to convert it to locking.
The TC Happens to be about the same color as mine even. :hick:
And are the quarter badges in good shape? I might as well change out my birds to that style, So they match my Steering Wheel emblem and 85+ Grille. >.<
Only 1 on the driver side. I'll see if I can find a 2ed one layin around here
trim panels in the isides of the steering column. and the switch panel for the ride control and Prem/Reg switch. might want the switches themselves also.
63135
trim panels on the sides of the steering column. and the switch panel for the ride control and Prem/Reg switch. might want the switches themselves also.
63135
Alrighty. I'll let you know
They are not worth pulling. You can get new fron autozone for not too much. And they sell Trubo uncut keys on Ebay all the time. But if you REALLY want them I'll get um
whats the issue? what makes them not worth pullin?
thought you didnt want any of this car to go to waste? :flame:
The fact that it's cheaper and more realiable to get new. It's up to you man. They arn't going on my car
Mike.. its so easy to pull locks on a ford....

The first two show how much 'play' there is in the front subframe of the car.
The last pic... anyone know what that harness is for? The one it plugs into has two wires looped back on it. It was located behind the dash near the cluster area.
Holy Shnikeys!
Thats scary bad rust, I like how you both trust it enough to put your weight on it, lol.:giggle:
We're considering using a sawzall to remove the front portion of the car to ease getting the motor & trans out. Considering the Ohio weather has done half the work for us, I think it's doable.
Go for it, Less work is good. :hick:
I didn't even get a picture of how the driver's side rocker is rusted through from front to back nor how the floor pan is separated from the rocker. This car is an odd duck for sure. Body rotted to hell and very clean interior and good-running engine... sheesh.
Don't forget how you can see through the trunk floor on the driver side. I'm all for cutting the car for the trans/motor removal eaiser.
I think the rear quarter rust is more common than strut tower. This car's body is... as Claude said.... fuct.
Agreed. I will say the driver side is MUCH worse the the passanger side though. Not sure why
I'm not sure why the car rusted out so bad!?! My car is 3 years older and has 30k more miles and doesn't have rust like that!
It did sit under a pine tree fo no less then 6 years. I was told 7 by my GF who lives a block from where the car sat. I duno if that played into it or not. I just don't understand how it is amazling rusted yet it still runs pretty good. Or how one side is rusted to shiznit but the other isn't 1/2 as bad.
Cars and any kind of plant (Grass to trees - especialy sappy pines) do not go together. Why my cars are on the street until I get my driveway put in. I'm sure the pine had allot of say as to why it rusted that way, and the rest of the elements to boot, and BIRDS just love to ruin cars as well.
*UPDATED*
Anyone want stuff. Make offers on everything and it's yours. Just looking to rid of it.
That car doesn't have auto lamp does it? That connector is how the auto lamp harness interfaced with the dash harness. Remove the jumper and plug the harness in.. ;)
It didn't have auto lamps. Thanks for the Info Claude
I had a sneaking suspicion that's what it was.
Anyone at all wants anything, call me today at 330-246-0794 and let me know what you want. I'll have pics soon by thte end of the day posted up
