Title: Junkyard run next Sat
Post by: kingcars on August 11, 2007, 05:15:18 PM
Alright everyone, on a local forum I caught word from a friend that a junkyard about an hour away has a Turbo Coupe with an 8.8in 3.55 disc brake rear, and I can go get it for $100.  I happened to look in their inventory and they have about 5 fox Tbirds and 5 fox Cougars (even a couple of 4 eyes).  I should be able to get everything dirt cheap there, so if anyone wants me to take a look for certain parts, I'd be glad to (time permitting).  They even sell 5-speed trannys for like $50, so if I find a T5 off of an 87-93 5.0 Stang, it's coming home with me.

I sure hope nobody gets that 8.8 before I do...it's exactly what I want.  And for the price, I'm not going to pass it up.

It's the Pull-A-Part in Charlotte.  You had best not take it!  :P

That won't happen. I'm slightly interested in the four-eye cars, but Charlotte is too far for me.

Any chance you could pull a cruise control module from behind the kick panel? I'd like to do some experimenting to see if I can get it to trip a relay/turn a lamp on when CC is on.

Also if u could pull off a nice rim for the car aswell that would be nice because I got a brand new tire which I can put on it and use it as a spare.

Also Im looking for a window motor and unlock/lock motor for my passenger side door.
