T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / wrecked 88 turbo coupe parts for sale
Hey everyone, I broke my own heart a couple nights ago when I hit a guardrail head on. Luckily I was only going about 35 or 40 mph. I'm posting this to see what kind of offers I get for parts or the whole car. I believe it can be fixed but not sure if it's worth all the work to do myself and I am very limited financially. Hood, front fenders, nose, and bumper are damaged. Many good parts. Just put brand new front struts on for an sn95 gt, front rotors, rear rotors and calipers, clutch 3 months ago ( is a 5 speed car). Interior is in decent shape minus headliner and a couple small cigarette burns. Guage cluster reads almost 290,000. The wheels have bad tires but would be pretty nice if cleaned up. They are 17x9 on rear and 17x8 on front (4 lug) deep dish style from O.E. Wheels. I'm taking offers on parts, let me know what you need. I would like to keep my engine and trans to put in a ranger but may sell for the right price. Doesn't smoke but I think leaks a tiny oil from rear seal. There is also a turbo problem where the check turbo light is on and building only 14 p.s.i. I'm thinking the wastegate is sticking. I am posting a few pics. sorry for the bad quality, it wasn't very bright out yesterday. The car is in bad shape but I believe the subframe was not harmed. The rad support is bent back pretty good at the bottom also. Mostly I would like to trade for an old beat up ford pickup or ranger that didn't need too much for inspection. ( Located about and hour north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) Let me know...XXX

Lounge / How much?
I got about 4000 in my Blue TC including purchase price, but not really any mods. Just paint, tires, wheels, and fixed the exhaust. Next month I'll see it in person!!

It's probably easier to swap the wires, than to pull the plugs, vinnie.  Start easy, work up to the hard stuff like plug pulling, especially with P heads.  Save yourself some frustration.
