My first 86 was a gs stripper model. Had ac(standard on the 5.0), 5.0, digital dash and rear window defroster. No passenger mirror, center console, completely blank cosolette. Didn't even have map lights.

Dunno why that car was so much better, but nothing ever broke, and dead stomping the pedal gave a one wheel peel till the 40mph shift. The motor mounts were still intact with 293k on it. I've been slowly trying to rebuild that car and got lucky finding another 86gs. It didn't have power anything except windows. I found a set of 84 manual doors and swapped them on.

Passenger mirror deleted was the last thing on the list. If i can stumble upon an 86 with digi dash this summer, i plan on cutting out the dash wiring and attempting the swap.

Welcome. I was blown away when I first saw it in the trunk of my 84 parts car.

Keep an eye out for an 83 steel wheel like this. Something you can't find if you are looking for but keep tripping over if you don't need one. :hick: Prefer something in very good condition.

hmm,,
and now it occurs to me,,
we do have the steel wheel , somehow the importance of it wasn't so important tearing our car down.

now saying that I totally didn't even think at the time to "know" to look for the drop in plastic cubby where a typical doughnut resides.

I will have to get a pic of that wheel now ,, it was in our trunk upside down so I have no clue if its in "great shape"

What a strange way of putting the cars at the start of this thread. Sort of makes it hard to get many of the parts. Better start grabbing parts you will need in the future, won't be long before all the birds end up in China on a s metal shipment.

So today I went to one of the local P-N-P's to see what they had.
This is what I scored for the wifes bird;
1 pair of 01 stang rear springs (just sitting under the car, rear axle was gone and didn't have time or the tools to get the fronts)
1 pair of un-cracked taillight lenses
rear view mirror
D/S door mirror glass
Found the entire set-up to convert the wife's bird to a 5spd out of a 4cyl 93'stang
HVAC controls for my bird.

I saw this beauty on my thru the yard, you can drive your vehicle in

I just had to stop and take a few pics There are notes all over it saying "No Pulling Parts From This Car"

Here's a short list of the fox bodies that are there. Unfortunately, all the run channels are hard and brittle and no good windshields but plenty of some body parts.
3 MKVII's
2 86 Cougars, not including the no touchie one
8 86-88 T-birds interiors aren't in too good of shape, some are down right nasty.

Sorry jandm, I meant to say that the interiors were not good. I was disappointed that not even one was in decent shape.

Too dark last night. But here are some fresh ones from about an hour ago. I should be ashamed of myself. I paid $400 delivered for this.
