Parting out 1988 Thunderbird LX

Hey guys - I finally found a replacement for my 88 Tbird. She served me well over the years but rust has gotten the best of her. It was a HO conversion with a TC rear. I am keeping the drivetrain, but everything else is up for grabs within reason. If you are looking for a large part it will need to be picked up. I will be listing parts here in a few weeks after I get her apart, but if anyone has anything in particular they need, let me know. The car is a factory v8 with a mass air conversion. I have Chuck W  motor mounts up for grabs. It has a factory console in it, as well as dash trim without the wood grain. It is a sunroof car, and the motor works on the sunroof. I can ship within reason. Let me know what you need and I will let you know if it is available.
The e brake set up is Turbo coupe and all the cables were replaced within the last few years. I replaced the hardware under the driver seat for that set up last year with a good donor because the old set up rusted out. The dash is full digital.
I also have a set of unused subframe connectors for the car for sale with the seat support. They were made by Kenny Brown - and are specific to the Tbirds and Cougars.

Bodyman, the fuel sending unit works fine. When I get the car apart I will snap a pic.

Does it have the metal trim on the rear window? I'm looking for the lower piece with no breaks, bends or cracks.

I think the trim around the rear window is rubber IIRC. I will take a look today.
