some interior parts and someone to modify a speedo to 140mph

Right now I know for sure I need a rear deck(where the speakers are) cover in blue, mines seen better days, if the grilles are there it would be great. Or a hook up on some replacement carpet and some headliner material.

If someone has a drivers side door armrest in blue in good shape I could use one of them to, either that or I need to fix mine.

Probably be adding more as I dig into things more

Now for my biggy part, I suck at soldering on circuit boards and dont have the stuff to calibrate for the accuracy. I have a speedo already that could be modded or traded inplace of a modded one. The speedo I have has 66,000 mile on the odometer!!

I have cash and also alot of extra parts I can barter with!!!

Too bad you're not closer. The Bird I'm grabbing parts from has a mint blue interior. It's a 3.8 car, but the headliner, plastic interior trim, rear package shelf, carpet, etc. is just beautiful. No sun damage that I could tell. Haystack is shooting for the doors. Shipping and cost would be crazy with you all the way up north.

Could you see what could be done shipping wise for the rear package shelf and the drivers door arm rest. Those are the 2 big things Im looking for right now. Headliner I can just recover, once I can somewhat match the color.

The armrests wouldn't work as this is a base model, ZERO option car. Manual door windows, manual seats, no options at all. When I get the chance to get the dash, I'll check on the package shelf. It was super clean.

Thanks Vinnie, Id really appreciate it. Tbirds in yards up here are pretty slim pickings.  After looking at my arm rests I may be able to resurrect them, the materials good but adhesive used to hold them to the base has given out.

Ok for sure need the package tray cover and a headliner backing atleast, both in blue if still covered and good. Little pieces may come up to!!

Gonna attempt to start modding a speedo my self, I was hoping we had someone here that had done it and still had it!!

Tony, I have a package tray for sure.  I'll have to take a look at the headliner for that car, although it is not a moonroof car, I don't remember the color or the condition.  I will text you to let you know the condition.    Package tray is in good condition.

Ok look forward to the text John. Im willing to attempt to modify a non-moonroof headliner to a moonroof car, considering my original is holding its shape enough for a template. Otherwise the original is beyond use!! I can concentrate on more important stuff once I have aleast the interior pieces found!!
