Project "Barn Bird" Reply #105 – January 26, 2014, 11:45:25 AM Ya the shipping to keep the package tray cover safe is high enough so I cant imagine what it would cost to ship that big thing. Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #106 – January 26, 2014, 02:05:38 PM I don't want to know. LOL. You will love the package tray though. Minty fresh. Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #107 – January 31, 2014, 10:22:32 PM Enjoyed going through your thread. Amazing progress in the last 4 months! Keep it up and don't get frustrated. All your time and hard work will be worth it when you're finished. Nice to see you have your son helping you out....memories he will never forget. Had an 88TC 5spd back in the day and it was a great ride. Good to see you saving one! Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #108 – February 08, 2014, 09:51:57 PM Thanks birdman, every since I had found out this TC existed where it did(almost 2 years ago now) I wanted to save it. The body is so clean if that was the only thing savable Id still would have been happy!!!No new updates though as of tonight, its either been to dang cold or to dangerious to venture to the FIL to even attempt to get anything done. We've had one of the worst winters in years. But I am in the process of dealing to get some of the go-fast parts that I want!!! Along with some of the stuff need to get her mobile agian!

Project "Barn Bird" Reply #109 – February 09, 2014, 07:52:25 PM Did get some small stuff done before the cold got the better of me today!! Got the rear bumper back off in preparation for paint, also removed the rear belt trim pieces. I brought the trim home so I can prep it to be painted body color. I was gonna tuff it out a little longer and get the header and front bumper cover off, but my ratchet was a little to big. Ill have to bring my stubby next time. Also got the drivers quarter window out with the help of a heat gun!! Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #110 – February 21, 2014, 09:52:58 PM No work updates as of now, Ive been to busy with a lot of other things. But I do have some parts on thier way!!!! I got the package tray cover and the plain jane visors from Vinny!! So I just have one major interior piece to figure out and thats the headliner, but I may have something in the works for that. I found out theres a local place thats good with "damaged" headliners thru a co-worker thats used them in the past. He also siad the pricing is more than fair, so I maybe professionally resurrecting the headliner. Hopefully Ill get sometime this weekend for some more work, Im so lose to being ready for fresh paint I can taste it!! Sometimes in the literal sense (those who have done body work will know what I mean). Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #111 – February 25, 2014, 12:18:49 AM More parts in route updates!! Thanks to 50RACER, I now have my destroyed inside the fuel tank pieces on the way and I just need to get a new tank ordered to put that area back together. I also am getting the 5 speed harness that goes from a plug under the carpet to the trans from him. Im happy I finally found that harness, I hate hacking up the auto harness to make it work. Little by little Im getting the pieces I want/need to get this finished up!! Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #113 – March 24, 2014, 11:23:21 PM Main body is ready for fresh paint. I brought the bumper covers and the belt trim pieces that will remain to prep them. Still need to figure out what the plan is for some of the trim, but something should hopefully be happening soon. The pics will speak for themselves. Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #114 – March 25, 2014, 07:04:51 AM Nice work. When do you think paint will be going on? I've been working on the Sport for almost 6 years ow. Still not finished. LOL. Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #115 – March 25, 2014, 09:42:00 PM Not 100% sure Vinny, Ive got to work it out with my paint guy. Which ironically we'll be swapping labor for labor!! So he'll finish up what little he thinks it needs and paint and Ill do some wrenching for him!! Its a Win-Win. Im sure just like my quad, the Tbird will be a long process til Im happy with it!!

Project "Barn Bird" Reply #116 – March 26, 2014, 05:34:39 AM Will you be going back with the original paint color or changing it up a little? I will be changing the color on my LX Bird when I EVER get to that point. Nice work. Quote Selected
Project "Barn Bird" Reply #117 – March 27, 2014, 06:49:23 PM It's going to be as close to stock as can be mixed!! Lol The color has really grown on me and tinted windows and lenses will look really good together. Yes I just have away some of the other plans!! Still trying to decide what to do with the rims, I'm gonna be rocking the snowflakes for a while. Quote Selected

I think the pockets would look good in matching blue. Quote Selected
