Time to put the Bird back together?

Ya, you know.....wiring, running new fuel & brake lines stuff like that. :D

Is that another Bird I see?

Na, it's a 93' Tempo w/60K miles. It was my wife's grandfathers car that we inherited when he passed.

You got it :D

Nice to see it back home :).

Did you get the wiring for the 4.6 figured out yet? It's going to be pretty cool when it's able to move under it's own power :).

It feels odd to see it sitting at home and not to look at it at work.
No, not yet :( still have to get the engine/dash harnesses and the ECU as well.

This is an exciting time for your project as it starts to go back together. It will be one nice ride.

No updates sorry :(

I've been busy with work and some things going on with the house. Good things though

Although I have acquired some parts, sucks waiting for a clutch fork to show up!!

I've also been trying to get my shop ready for a special project coming soon

I've been trying to get the 3.0 to 3.5 swap into the Stratus done at work as well.

Looking forward to seeing it take shape. Will be watching for the updates.

Still planning on some autox with it when you are done? I have been looking into this as well, and also have been looking at the hooked on driving site here lately, would like to get mine to the Road America at Elkhart lake, or the Autobahn country club by Joliet someday.

Yes I still plan on autoxing it. I too want to run the Autoban as well as the Sand Hills race & there is a track in Michigan. What's this "hooked on driving" site??

http://www.hookedondriving.com Driving school/club with events at road course tracks. Looks fairly reasonable at about $325 per event.

Sorry guys for such a delay in updates, I have little under 2 wks off due to Ford N Chrysler's plant shut down. So I do plan on working on the bird :D My plans are to get the sn-95 dash installed and get the car back up on the blocked up stands so I can work on the front and rear suspension. I have to change out the FLC arms as they are too short to use with the 00' GT k-member and rack unit, bummer :(
I'll be listing them and some other parts in the appropriate area later on.

On another note, the wife was offered the position there in Abilene and has accepted it. I'll post more on that topic in the other thread I started. Now back to work on the Bird, :D
