Fila got another....

[SIZE="7"]1988 TC!!![/SIZE]









It started right up with only a battery, soloniod, and the turn of a key. I backed around a bit but after that no movement. I think the clutch may be toast but we'll figure out another night. not bad for anotehr $100 car!!! And it's all mine!!! IF all goes well it may not be a parts car, but a DD. I didn't find any rust on the strut towers as preivious owner said, started right up as preivious owned said it wouldn't, and it's fuc*in virgin blue cloth int. MUCH more to follow soon but it's 2:30 AM....

I'l getting title monday, I just got the car because the City was on the guy to move it. As of now it needs little things and I know about nothing about TC's so it will be a fun experience. I'll get better pictures today I hope. If all it needs is a clutch and an Alt then it's not a parts car..... It's my DD!!!

Blue..... not sure if I wana sell anything off it as of now. If it's a complete car I'll keep it. If there is in fact rust in the strut towers or something else MAJOR then It will be parted humanily. Otherwise again it's my DD. If anyone smarter then me wants to take a look at it, contact me and I'll hook something up.

I just " got it" last night about 10 PM so I didn't do too much. Moved it, threw a battery in it, clean some pine needels off and started it. Thats as far as I've been so far. MUCH more to come

Youre not going to have fun. If you think the Fila is a handful, have fun with a TC.
It's Gumby's fault.
