Title: Bought a TC....
Post by: DVP on March 08, 2010, 03:57:31 AM
... and its for sale or going to be parted.

Buddy needed to sell it ASAP so I bought it. I have no need or room for another car, so this week will decide the fate of the TC.

If it sells whole before Friday it lives. If it doesnt I will be stripping it down.

I will get some pictures tomorrow I hope.

I guess Im not meant to have a 'Bird. This will be the 2nd one not to last with me.

If it ends up getting parted, I'm interested in the front bumper cover, if it's in good shape.

BTW, the dash in that '91 Taurus was all beat to shiznit. Sorry mate :mad:

Walked the front 1/3 into the garage to pull the motor and wiring bullshiznit. Im about to set that  thing on fire. It would be out if it wasnt for the mess of wires.

Thursday night/Friday morning.

Got pissed off Thursday night, went out Friday morning and had it out in 20 minutes.

Had to pull this outta the driveway to get pack to the motor.

Split the rear again today. Its loaded and ready to go away. Just have to find where it is going.

I was told there is a place in Alton that will take it without a title. I really ****** myself on the title deal.

There was a lot of body work done to the rear of the car. It might look like I cut up a great car put there was a lot that couldnt be seen and I wasnt putting the money in it to fix the issues when I have the Cougar to deal with at the same time.

Actually I completely understand, I have been trying to find time to run out to the SHO and pull the dash for you but with my new bosses screwing me every way possible its been completely impossible.
