It Happens Tomorrow !!!!!

I couldn't really see the rear that well as the car was sitting with the rear up near the front of another car,and,I wasn't looking for the details,just to make sure things were intact before it was towed.Even if it turns out to be a 7.5,I'll still be happy to have it.A T-Bird Sport in solid shape,$350.00 ($50.00 extra for towing it 20 miles),not a bad deal.It'll all start to come together (slowly) tomorrow.Stay tuned for more info.I may take some pics and have Fila post them if he'll be so kind.

O.K.,it's a 7.5.I can still deal with that just fine.Spent a few hours yesterday under the hood trying to figure out why it ran like .Found a few things.One,the alternator was gone.I still have my lifetime warranty autozone unit from before the 3G conversion.Got it on and then pulled the upper intake.Two broken plastic vacuum lines,and two rubber vacuum hoses.All fixed now.TOne of the heater hoses has a hole in it from the throttle cable rubbing it.The distributor module is right up against the thermostat housing.I think I need to move all of the wires over one position and time it.I have the turbines on it.They are from a 20th anniversary Cougar.The gold tint on them matches the car.I'll get pics soon,hopefully tomorrow and get them up for everyone to see.NOW,I need a battery.It's not holding a charge.Getting closer.No hurry,it's a long term project car anyway.i tend to get carried away and want to do as much as possible everyday.

I gotta finish this one first.LOL. I still have some plans for it. I may get another Bird one day. I really don't put much thought into it right now. I have plenty to keep me busy right now, and a whole list of mods (very mild, can't even see them kind of mods) to do. I barely remember this thread. That was a long time ago.

Oh I see, but what happened to "Project Phoenix"? Why is it just "the Sport" now?

The thread is an old one, but, the Sport is still cool.

Sarjxxx, as far as "Project Phoenix" goes, it's still the same project, but somehow, the Sport liked "Sport" instead of "Phoenix" as a name. She's got her way own of thinking. LOL.LOL. Probably gets it from my wife.

The Sport now has functional A/C after the trip to the shop yesterday.Nice to have. Now every single part of the car works as it should. I hate things to not be functional. The only thing I have to get swapped now is the hood. I don't like the scoops and I'm working on a couple of hood ideas on paper. Hopefully by Fall I'll have that idea come to life.

 Now, window tint is next. That's really look good on the car as well with the green paint and black trim, but not have that military look, and the darker windows will help a little bit this summer, and around here, any help is appreciated to get through the heat we have..
