General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Found a Turbo Coupe
Hope i dont make this too long. anyways ever since i sent the 87 to the s yard (170k and welded gas tank straps, fuel pump burnt out) i have been looking for a thunderbird project car. i was coming home from work one day and i saw a 1986 turbocoupe for sale. its black with a 5 speed and 169k. anyways the guy wanted $750 but i talked em down to $500 and it looks like the body has minimal rust for its age. it had a leak in the brake line and he said he would fix that before i bought it. i call em up the other day and he said that when he went to move it to fix the brake line the turbo blew up. i think that when he went to move it he beat the  out of it and did that himself thinking some young kid was buyin it (well im 20). anyways when i called him and he told me that he said that he was giving the 8.8 rear end and the tranny to his father for some parts for his 72 nova.  he said that for $300 he will give me the car and let me store it for 3 months minimum till i get the parts to put a 351 in.  i left him a message saying that if i sell my motorcycle during the next week ill have the money for him.(i have 2 people interested so far) he left me a message back asking how much for it...lol... so im hoping i can get the thunderbird, some storage, and $100 - 200... does this sound like its worth it?  by the way i paid 250 for the motorcycle in the fall...(and $40 for the battery and $30 for the manual) so 320...

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / My new car
hey everyone
i havent been on here in a while.
just got a sweet deal on a car... free...
its a 1991 geo prism 4 door... sucks balls but its got a stick so it'll get me from A to B and hopefully back without a towtruck...
141k miles... dented like a SOB and people wrote stuff with marker all on the interior but still...free!
it's gonna be my transportation till i save for my 5 speed turbocoupe...($400 saved so far)
i have a problem though... the kid drove it here and said he had to jump start it cause the battery died... what would make it die?
also i had it hooked up to a neibors vehicle for a few minutes and it wouldnt even turnover... the interior lights all work but no clicking... could the alternator and starter be bad? idk... i gotta get these problems sorted out asap so i can put it on the road... sry this isnt a thunderbird post... my bird was saddly dragged off to the bone yard and i still havent gotten a replacement...any help is appreciated...
