looking to maybe get a t-bird/cougar club of kansas together.. let me know if interested also help spread the word!
seneca ks and interested
sounds neat --->baldwin kansas
Sounds great Concordia KS
good idea Topeka, Ks
any of you have friends with birds or cats? maybe they would be interested too
I know a couple but i dont think they like their cars like we do.
I know of a few as well, I know my dad would be interested if we could get his finished. (83 TC)
One of the people I am talking about bought an 85 GS 5.0 that I wanted SOOOO bad and at the time I didnt have the money.
I know how that goes. the car lot that I was working at when I was in high school had some cragars for sale for $20 I wanted them to put on my 79cougar and a friend of mine bought them and then pretty much gave them away.
I have some 4 bolt 4 spoked Rims. I call them imitation cragars. They look like it but are Cal chrome i think. Some center caps and they would pass as real cragars. 13" otherwise I would put them on my cat.
I have them factory polycast wheels on them now. what do you think?
Nice. 79 you say. These rims are off of a 79 stang.

Not bad for 5 bucks. I had to cut the rubber off. The bead is so weathered on.
yep 79, I have seen some of those before. my sister had a mustang 2 with one for a spare
im trying to sell them. thinking about ebay.
ebay would be my guess if nobody here wants them. have you tried to clean up the chrome on them?
Yep, on two the chrome just needs polished and I have all of the stuff for it. The other two have some rust and the chrome is starting to flake on the inner lip by the outer edge of the spoke, you might see it in the pic, Ill get some more.
Yates Center, KS here. It's in the South East corner, most of you probably don't know about it.
yates center west of Iola got ya bud
5 members so far lets see how many more we can find from kansas
I live in kansas city mo just accross the boarder. run to the boarder.
good enough. know anymore bird owners that might be interested?
I found a few here and I need to talk to them. Mostly MN12 style.
sounds good :D
anyone still interested?
trying to organize a get together in wichita in the next few months anyone close that may be interested? so far the list is:
cougrrr302
master_xzavior
yeah Im still interested in it as well I had sort of lost hope in it and with the 3.8 dying I havent had time to organize anything but tools parts and cuss words
I've been thinking about mid july, that should give us enough time to get everything worked out with our cars.
Works for me. Mine comes out next week for some TLC.
I can try for that if this wiring doesnt start working to my favor I wont be done until mid july of 2054. If nothing else maybe I can catch a ride with nathan and at least come meet everyone. even if I do get the car running enough to drive its going to be ugly as hell in july.
condition isnt important :D mine isnt a beauty it just has nice wheels :flip:
ummmm mines 3 different colors on the outside as well as the inside so you got me beat :D
hey i just remembered there is an 87-8 bird just like yours on the west side of wichita... its been sitting at this motel for years I dont know if its been moved or not.
There is one a block from me that hasnt moved for 12 years. I dont think its even close to salvagable.
well in wichita dont help me Ive gotten most of the parts I need off other cars unless its a TC. and that one right down the road has had the windows open and everything else. Id almost bet the insides molded and mildewed that cars ins some serious need of major help
sounds like a potential drag car to me :D
yeah depending on whats rusted if I remember right its got some nice rust spots on the lower portion of the body
All around the rear window is shot, I took a moment the other day to look. Tomorow I might go up and inspect it. Poor poor car.
I have another guy interested in coming to meet us, 87Cougar347 he is from the Topeka area , he said he might have a few friends that he could bring along with birds/cats
The kid I just sold my 86 to, would probably join. He should be showing up on here soon.
ok do we have a place for sure? I think I just about have the car to where it can make the trip. soon as I swap the tranny at the beginning of the month and get my gas mileage up a little
I have been thinking about the Spangles at Kellogg and Broadway it is fairly easy to find. Just in case you dont know what Spangles is, its a pretty cool burger place thats 50's themed http://www.spanglesinc.com . I'd like to meet sometime around lunch time and then have a cruise down Kellogg. Date is still in the works I want to make sure that I have a good exhaust to show off :D
well keep us posted hopefully I can have my mess of a car straightened out enough I wont feel like a total idiot running with yall
lets plan for July 22nd should give all of us pleanty of time to get our cars ready since we have things that need to be done. hope this works for the ones coming
I can try for that day not sure the end of the month isnt looking to promising at the moment. the self test kicked out about 7 or 8 codes of sensors messing up in the car. it's gonna be a couple hundred bucks to get it going right and Im a lil unemployed at the moment so the cars pretty much on hold. If things keep going the car's going to be for sale. I'll try and make it though.
bring it anyways maybe we can figure something out with it. I'll bring tools
Yeah, Im working 2 jobs right now at 11 hours a day, so I have a little money to put into the car. Im just gonna bypass the heater core, the Escape is the winter car. Im thinking about just a tune up and maybe try and get some rims by then. Im trying to get a hood from Aerobird Motorsports, if I can get it I'll have a TC hood painted and on the car in a week.Yeah I think that should work, I'll check on it. Maybe my friend will wanna go, if his car is still working by then
Not sure man the car ate almost a half a tank to go like 85 miles. I dont think its a case of being able to limp there and back. Its pretty bad at the moment. I ate half a gallon doing the key on engine running test and trying to adjust the TPS.
Im going to order some parts the first week of the month maybe I can get alot of it fixed by then the O2 sensors are whats going to kill me on getting it running right. Im trying to get it going though so we'll just have to hope and see.
If I can come up with the money to do it Im gonna go down and swap the tranny the first week of the month as well ,I Canat least fix that part. right now the leak is only stopped enough I can limp down to fix it. Id be afraid to take it all the way down to the meet and back unless it was absolutely necessary.
If nothing else I can catch up with everyone on the next one if there is one.
We still on for the 22nd?
should have my exhaust begining to mid next week, shipping the pipes tomorrow and the tails friday :D are we still on for the 22nd?
Dammit. No can do. Im going on my last family vacation. Being 18 and all. I got a TC hood on the way and rims to be ordered though, the car is out and running again, purrs so nicely. Funny story about the other day at work. Now we have another Fox owner working at the store. He owns an 88 Tbird like Danny's but its the solid shade of dark brown. Dammit I wish I could!!!!! I cant even make it to CatJam, ****!!!!!
well maybe we can rescedule for august sometime
So... since things got canceled for the last meet I have come up with something a bit more special... sometime Next month there is a "Last Run" car show at the local drag strip and I think it would be a perfect first meet since we can meet and race against each other and show our cars. Let me know if you might be interested in this one :D I'll have more details as I find out.
When is it? I hope to have mine done by next month for "fall fest" here. I want it in the carshow! Anyone got some 17x8 Chrome Cobra Rs???
I'm thinking the last weekend in september I'll try to find out for sure tonight.
*Edit* Car show is NOT at the drag strip, the show is September 23rd and 24th at Paris park here in Arkansas City. here is a pic of the flyer.
well dont expect me to make it Im about fed up with the car stupid thing isnt running right at all. Im to the point of selling it to someone who wants to mess with the piece of junk and buying an old honda or something.
everyone still interested? its this coming weekend!
I might make it. I'll have to resort to driving the daily down there, I dont have the money at the moment for that much gas. I can try nonetheless. Also depends on the tires on the wheels I am picking up.
I have decided not to try to get mine in the show due to the rain and lack of time to clean her up. so if you cant make it, its no big deal we can plan another time.
