a little update Reply #15 – November 06, 2006, 02:23:39 PM PLEASE leave that car white.I love it. Man that thing is in GREAT shape. Hope you make a badass hot rod out of it, there aren't many of these cars left in that kind of condition. Have fun with it. Here are some wheel ideas I did a long while back... Quote Selected
a little update Reply #16 – November 06, 2006, 02:32:57 PM ^Thats a bit TOO low for my tastes, but yeah, that car is a great project car.Funny thing, my Tbird came from the original owner for $1500 (also an old lady) and the interior is in great shape.I think we've come across something here. Buy cars from old ladies. Because, my dad's 85 Trans Am, on the other hand, wasn't treated so well. The interior smelled like smoke for a month. Lots of stupid things were done to it. Quote Selected

a little update Reply #20 – November 07, 2006, 01:16:58 AM What?!?!Ravenna?! How the hell do I miss all the people who are near me. You're only about 27 miles away, so sayeth google maps. I'm right down rt. 14 from you. That car looks incredible. Reminds me sort of, of my '84 cougar, only it's much cleaner! (And mine came from the factory with no passenger's side mirror.) I'm betting the low miles made rather easy work of taking the rear end out. Keep us updated.PS - I'm stealing your doors. Quote Selected
a little update Reply #22 – November 07, 2006, 08:22:47 AM Come to Oklahoma and bring your truck.We don't have rust here.Just nice solid cars.There are 4 T-Birds about 2 miles from me at the salvage yard,one is an '87/'88 Turbo coupe.The others are '84-'86 cars. Quote Selected
a little update Reply #23 – November 07, 2006, 09:07:25 AM White Birds rule!!! BTW thats a very nice Bird you have there... Time grandma had some fun... Mod the Hell out of it...I'd ditch that rear though, especially if it is a 2.47... Go find a 3.73 from a automatic '87-'88 TC... The 3.55 from a 5 speed TC is a good choice as well. In '87-'88 all TCs had the 8.8" rear with disc brakes. All the '86-earlier TCs had 7.5" 3.45s with drum brakes..Quote from: Thunder Chicken;111805 And is that A/C I see? Mine didn't have that either .I believe A/C was std on the US Birds/Cougs, but optional on Canadian units.. Quote Selected

a little update Reply #26 – November 07, 2006, 09:27:00 AM So....no p/w, p/m, or p/seats, BUT power door locks...AM radio...a/c...and digital clock...with leather seats. Yep, must have been 1983. That's a strange options list. Very clean car, bro...nice to see you're taking care of it. What I'd like to know is why the console color doesn't match the rest of the interior... Quote Selected

a little update Reply #29 – November 07, 2006, 04:17:12 PM Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions guys. I wish I had a bigger bank account,I would love to do alot of what you are all suggesting,but I need to do a little at a time. The car is in great shape, but it does have things that need fixing.they are all pretty minor though.A/C needs fixednew headliner (I am going to atempt this myself)right side valve cover gasket leaksvery minor body work (stone chips) Its great to see some locals on hear.
