And of course heres the 'Bird.
(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd24/Redneck8688/DSCF0635.jpg)
As you can see it needs a front end.

And the dent by the back window needs fixed.

Yes I know the wheels are mis-matched but the other one that were on the front didnt hold air.

No, I'm trying to find a 'tbird front end for it but I havent had much luck. However it had a busted up Cougar front at one point in time that I threw away(shouldve kept it). The car was gonna get fixed up and have the V8 and 5spd swapped in before I started driving it but the GP decided it didnt want to be drivin anymore and now I'm stuck driving a V6 'bird with no front end.

That Cougar you see in the picture belongs to a freind, I'm just storing it for him till hes able to free up some space at his house.

There really isnt a whole lot of rust on this one, but my old blue 88 on the other hand was a little ugly.

That sail panel is gonna be tricky. It was alot worse when I got the car but I got most of it pushed out, not really sure yet on how I'm gonna fix it the rest of the way.

Well the T'Bird now has a TC front end and a new trunk lid along with the TC hood. Will get some pics as soon as the rain lets up and I get some batteries for the camera.

The upper quarter would be easy to work on. Im a Body Man lol. I could have that knocked out in an afternoon with a stud gun a tiny tiny bit of filler and primed. So when do you want to bring her down? lol. Good car. Like the GP

I'd take ya up on that offer if you were just a few states closer lol. The GP aint that bad of a car. The frame on the car is really in good shape except for one spot. It looks like it had a gas leak for a good while that helped that spot on the frame go rather quick, but other than that it runs and drives great plus it only has 89,000 miles on it.

I got yet another car. Its an 89 Mazda 626 2.2L Turbo. Absolute POS. Good thing is it was free. Bad, it needs an alternator and the massive oil leak fixed which looks to me like it could be just the valve cover gasket, not sure yet. As soon as I get the alternator replaced I'll get some pictures of the rusty turd if anyone wants to see it.

I saw that Cougar running around (93 and Waterloo) on my way home from work awhile back. I was going to turn around and follow, but I was already running late for an appointment.

You probably did. Would've been last year though the car hasnt been drivin much lately.

The car used to go down to cbuttstuff fulton every once in a while, my freinds uncle lives down there, he used to take it down there on new years eve every year.
