Title: 83 TC last call
Post by: bhazard on August 18, 2006, 12:27:04 PM
This car has to be gone tomorrow. No driveline. Good fenders, etc. Bad interior. Restore it. My dad wants $100 but I'm sure he would let it go for less.

If I wasn't picking up another car tomorrow already I'd take a closer look.  I would be interested in the foglights if you could pull them off.  Shoot me a PM if so.

OK,
Well it's a shame to trash things like that front bumper cover, clear 83-only indicators and other things.
I notice it's 5-lugged too...at least on the front.

Wow..that's short notice.  Hopefully someone local can save the car or at least some of the good parts.

These early TC's are getting hard to find.

I can try to get the fenders and doors off. I think the doors might have the usual rust on the bottom. Not sure if its through.

Note, this car has power NOTHING. Except the mirrors.

If you can get the fender's & doors off, I'd gladly come pick 'em up.  From the pics, they look a lot better than mine, which have a half-assed patch job and the bottom of the door skin is falling off.  PM me and let me know what you'd want for 'em.  I can run out sometime very soon to get 'em.

Pleeeze try to pull anything decent before you s it....  Let us know how it goes and if you want to sell some box lots of smaller parts I'm sure there will be interest. If not..then the stuff can hit the dumpster.

I'd be interested in any pieces that are in nice to excellent condition.

Is the wiring harness intact? I need the alternator connectors.

Taillights? Body Trim? Interior Trim?

does that have the bird emblems on the fenders?  if so I call dibs......

No fender emblems, it used to have turbo emblems long ago but those are long gone.

Theres a guy at NATO whos interested in the whole car but has no rear end for it. Not sure if i wanna try to sell the whole car or part it out. It would be neat to see it on some site in a year or two all built up and stuff.

By the way the doors are rusted at the bottom of them. How much rust would you be willing to deal with?

Are the door bottoms rusted through?  Or can you still see where the drain holes at the back of the inside of the bottom door lip are?  Someone around here has a pic of what I'm talking about, I'm sure.  That area is a good indication of how far gone the doors are.

If the doors turn out to be too rusty, I could, if you're still wanting to part it out, just get the fenders.

I am the guy on NATO interested in the whole thing. I can get my hands on a rear to sit it on to bring it home on a dolly/trailer, it just will not be the one I build it up with. If these deals fall through... let me know soon, I will probably be out to pick it up. I am interested!

I'm still interested in the fenders and doors if they're salvagable.  I need fenders worse than I need doors, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Taillights are good, dirty but not busted, rear bumper cover as well.

Im trying to get the front header panel and bumper cover off, as well as the fenders, having problems reaching the nuts all the way to the outsides...

where you located badbird?

i am in michigan. i have long enough extensions to get outside bolts, be very careful with header panel bolts.

OK

The passenger side fender is rusted thru where it bolts up under the door, it could be fixed by welding a piece in though. Not sure about the drivers fender, ive almost got it off, but I doubt its worse than the other.

Front header panel is good besides the fact that i broke off one of the plastic pieces where the stud comes out. That could be JB welded back on or something.

Still working on getting the bumper cover off.

The doors are rusted thru at the bottom. They are manual locks and windows.

The clear front turn signals, the passenger side is good, the drivers side is all busted, which is a shame because they werent like that last year when that pic was taken...

Ifixyawata has dibs on the fenders and doors.
Rodsterh has dibs on the taillights.

Anyone else?

bhazard - Sorry man,  I'll have to pass on the doors.  I hope I haven't wasted too much of your time.  I'll still come up for the fenders as long as the wheel lips and fender bottoms are decent.  PM me with a price, dude.  Thanks, and sorry about the doors.
