Title: Headed to the junkyard tomorrow...
Post by: Loaded87IROC on February 04, 2011, 09:31:18 PM
I'm headed back to the yard that I posted here http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?30076-2011-Junkyard-finds&p=349721#post349721  in the morning.  If anybody wants something please post here or PM me.  I can't ship huge things like engines, rearends, seats etc, so please be reasonable with requests.  I'll check this again before I take off in the morning.

I did mention the chrome fender trim on the two cougars. If you could grab a set or make a set from the best of the two that would be sweet.

Thanks

I'll be needing a nice front license plate bracket (the plastic one) for a 87-88 TC if you find one.

Thanks for asking!

Still need a NON-OD Auto Floor Shifter, w/ or without linkages (with would be very helpful!).
could you snap a picture of the other side of the body kit equipped cougar?

Dont forget to snag the TC Horn buttons, Hood Scoops and the clear front markers on the four eye. ;)

Getting ready to get dressed and get my tools packed up.  I will check the board from the yard too on my phone for any other requests.

@Vinnie:  Did the rubber mats only come on the 87-88 cars?  I will be bringing a battery to pop the trunks that are closed just for you ;)

@ 88turbo:  AC relay and EEC relay from 87-88 V8 car

@ThunderbirdSport302:  I picked up 2 fox Tripminders last time out and still have one.  I still have some red acrylic if you want me to install a red lens in it too.

@Flylear45:  Neither TC had a front tag bracket last time, but I will check any possible new additions.

@Romeo2k:  None of the cars in the yard have floor shifters but I am doing a 5 speed swap in the near future and will be selling my shifter (from an 86 XR7 with a C3)  I am going to try to sell the tranny and shifter as a package but I will give you dibs if I can't sell as a package.  I will snap a pic of the Cougar too.

Pretty much struck out at the yard today. 

Each TC only had one Hella and they were both cracked.  No rubber floor mats.

Steve, all the chrome moldings on the black Cougar were gone and the blue cougar's were very chewed up on the pass side.

88turbo, I did get the AC relay for you but no eec relay.  There was puke (or something) in the floorboard of one of the V8 cars and the other one the passenger door was jammed shut.  I do have a bunch of Ford relays in my stash though.  If you have the part number from it I can match one up for you.  I also forgot to bring my torx and couldn't get to the harness. 

Here is a picture of the pass side of the Cougar with the ground effects.

On the positive side, we didn't get the rear end we planned on picking up for my buddies Mustang, so we will be going to the other yard that has some Fox cars so I will keep an eye out for the parts you guys requested.  I did also pick up a mint set of headlights from one of the 87-88 Cougars.

Oh, I don't doubt it.  It was almost too warm out there carrying all those tools.  It was about 70 degrees today.

How much for the lights?

Post by: Loaded87IROC on February 05, 2011, 09:06:58 PM
Somebody who had previously asked me for a set of nice lights has dibs, but if he passes I will be asking for $80 shipped in the CONUS.

Post by: sarjxxx on February 05, 2011, 09:11:42 PM
oooohh. I like that price. I might hafto pick them up in a few weeks if nobody gets em. Course what I really need is a pair of crack-free inner marker lenses...

Post by: Loaded87IROC on February 05, 2011, 10:12:14 PM
I will let you know on those lights Steve.  The car that I harvested the lights from had real nice and clear inner lights too, but one of them was cracked.  Some of the other cars in the yard had uncracked inners, but not in as good shape.

Cool. I'm not too worried about how they look as long as they don't have that awful surface heat fissuring that so many have. If its got minor pitting or if they're just faded out, I can fix that, but those little cracks run deeeeeeep into the lense and they don't wanna come out. And really all I need is the lenses, not the whole housing too but if they are in really nice shape I would be interested in them too.

PM me when you find something out. Lemme know when you plan on going back out there too so I can get some money set aside for it. Thanks. I'm gonna be pretty strapped this wkend and next cause I'm putting the trans in the cougar and everything else I need to do to get it running but after that I should be able to come up with some cash.

The lights are sold.  I will let you know when I am heading back out there.
