Reply #30 – September 08, 2007, 03:15:43 AM Quote from: grutinator;175011all damage is before the shock towers, it did not affect ride quality, steering geometry, braking, nothing was different...sitting inside it, you'd never know it washiznit untill u got out the car and walked around and looked at it.i washed it today, it looks even better now. i swear that bird looks almost brand new... almost. might post a pic or two more tomorrow. and i think im gonna make that my project car, its alot nicer then the cougar and if i hop up the engine, i'll have a pretty nice cruise night/lad-ie-da car. still undecided, but thats how im leaning right now.I got an idea! Throw all of your mod stuff onto the Bird, and completely restore the Coug. That way you have your nice modded bird to drive, and then you can have a KICKASS Cougar! Quote Selected
hooray! Reply #31 – September 08, 2007, 08:37:57 AM Hey Keith forgot to mention something about tags.If you can wait until January to tag the Bird, you can get historic plates. (20 years old and a discontinued model)This means $51 to register every two years and no emissions.I'll probably get mine the first week of January and I am counting down the days as we speak, er type.

hooray! Reply #32 – September 08, 2007, 12:45:29 PM Quote from: cougrrr302;174999DUDE fix the Cat. That Bird is fine. If anything throw any left over parts off of the Coug onto the Bird. The Cat need attention!!! That bird needs no work done to it. And that subframe needs attention. I dont think you want to drive a vehicle with damage like that. Perfect reason to fix it, and it needs paint, plus its BADASS!!!!! Cougars FTMFW!!But why make the Tbird a DD and get it dented up? Then it WILL need work, and that's work that could be avoided. Hell, the body on it looks even better than mine. For practicality, fix the Tbird up. I wouldn't risk having it damaged.Quote from: grutinator;175011...and i think im gonna make that my project car, its alot nicer then the cougar and if i hop up the engine, i'll have a pretty nice cruise night/lad-ie-da car. still undecided, but thats how im leaning right now.That sounds like a very good plan. That Tbird is a perfect cruise-in car, and doesnt need body work! Quote Selected

That Tbird is a perfect cruise-in car, and doesnt need body work!yeah thats what im thinking. if i fix up the bird the drivetrain, brakes and suspension are the ONLY things i need to modify. whereas the cougar would need, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, bodywork, paint, interior, and so on. i mean, this isnt a really tight budget project, but i really dont have money just to throw around like that. now i just need to figure out what excactly im gonna do, how mild or how wild its gonna be. i dont think im gonna get too crazy with it tho.and 3 more after a good wash...and if someone knows what color this is, i'd be very appritiative.
