On a happy note, I gave him my blessing today to buy 2 thunderbirds if he can get the cash together. And a 2nd cat for either him or me. {And just to pre-empt a response: he doesn't need my permission to do anything, but getting my blessing sure makes life easier.};)

In response to the leather thing, it just seems that the cloth interiors often look much worse on the cars than the leather, but people are still gettin' lucky like that guy with the shiny red '86.

Hey hey, 2 T-birds, now we're talking.  You more of a bird fan or do you guys just want to have one of each for the both of you?  If that's the case, don't forget to pick yourselves up a nice pair of LSC's ;)

it's a 91 bird with the 5.0 HO in it and she wants me to put it in the cougar..... the other is a 93 v6 with a blown motor..... probably both end up as parts cars to mutantize the 83 and give it more umph......  btw, will the rear independent suspension on the thunderbird bolt onto our 83 cougar....  THAT would be wild

No....not without alot of custom work.....two TOTALLY different platforms.....


Not really much gain either.  The MN-12 suspension leaves ALOT to be desired....

You aren't going to get very many parts that will work on the '83 from anything made after '88.  The MN12 platform was completely different from the older Fox platform and very few of the parts are interchangeable.

if the 91 is cheap enough, you could always get the engine and tranny out of it. They will bolt up. You will need diffrent accesories and belt setup though. 

How much are they looking for the 91? how many miles?

Honestly, it would be almost worthless, if you wanna sup up the 83, but a 91 ho wouldnt be bad. BTW, it has a py upper intake manifold, and only 200hp, vs the 225 of the mustang.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I think some motor bits and the seats are about the only thing you can swap over between the two cars.

that's the plan..... i meant parts cars by the fact that i'm going to sell the parts i can get from them to help pay for the powerplant i'm taking out of it  :)

i don't know what to do with the v6... them come as a package deal

having the rear wheel independent susp. would be nice, but i really just wanted 4 wheel disk.....
however if i do that it'll be five hole instead of 4 and i'd either have to get them machined or get rid of my rims.....  hmmmm choices  :)

nope, I just have a great guy that puts up with all my short-comings.;)

So, since these thunderbirds were his idea, does that mean that he just wants to give me a really great car or that he's gonna have to pay up big for my cougar? I kinda think he's still stuck on this being his. {Note to Hubby: don't get rid of the rims!}

I did tell him that when we pay off the KIA, I want a daily driver whether it be one of those birds refurbished or something else because I don't want to take the cougar to work. People in parking garages are insane, my car never had so many dings before.:mad:

I wasn't knockin' on anyone's cloth seats, it's just that you don't usually find them in good condition. Seat covers are a great idea if you can't get them reupholstered, but I never found any I liked. They're all either made of that furry stuff that gets all over your clothes or polyester, which on a long trip, can get your cat overheated and we must always handle her with care!
