Title: Out with the old....
Post by: Ether947 on July 07, 2006, 09:00:39 PM

New TC!!! :D

(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i78/ether947/DSCF0377.jpg)

I am sooo glad I found another one. It's an 87 w/T-5. Typical brakes don't work (a little furious about that one), needs a tune-up, blah blahs. I kinda wish I hadn't sold my interior parts from my other TC as this one needs them badly. lol. More picks to come.

Nothing like that other rust bucket! Got a little bit on the front fender but that's easily replaced.

lol, thanks for the map! If that lake wasn't there... and Canada, I could cut that time in half. :)

It's kinda up in the air. If I can get it in good shape by then. And convince the girlfriend that it's good to go then it's possible. Kinda unlikely now though. :(

Goto the hard ware store and get you some brass parts. You'll need a brass Tee and one cap to fit the Tee and some Barb fitting that are 1/4" that screw into the Tee then you'll need a spring and a ball that fits inside the Tee next drill a hole in the cap and tap it to fit a fine thread bolt. I used a allen head bolt. These are the basics to a Manual boost controller. Do a search over at http://www.turboford.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=2
That is where I found the basics and made my own. Only cost me $8 and a little time that work paid me for.

Something about this TC I really like. I feel like it actually has potential. Even though I still can't think of a name...

EDIT: Holy ! The paint job looks awesome... in the pics, lol. Not so awesome in person.

Looks to be in pretty good shape. I like it. I've always liked black Turbo Coupes. So I'm assuming it's in much better shape than the white one?

Actually it's blue. :) But it's really hard to tell. And it's in way better shape than TCR. They actually feel like two completely different cars. Can't wait to get all the parts I have left over from the part out swapped over.

Finally came up with a name too. :)

I can't take the credit for that. The previous owner did that. :D I've already replaced it though.

As of right now we are coming, just not in the Bird. =/
