Finally got it out of the garage for a bit and the weather was nice so I snapped a couple pics.

those wheets are hot! :D they actually look even better when they are moving. I normally don't like the removed body trim on the sides, but whatever you did it looks great.

Well it's not all back on as I still have not found pieces for the doors.  I am going to reinstall the rear piece (between the wheel well and the bumper) when I get some more tape.  I installed the front corner light piece today.  I'll leave the stuff off inbetween the wheel wells for now.

For now.  This is the car that will be getting the Aussie/US200 I6 hybrid....
Right now I just want to drive it though...so the 2.3T is still the motivating force.

The fogs are in the garage waiting for new bulbs.  If you want clear signal covers...they were on the 83's ;)

I honestly have no idea how many miles....the only thing "original" on the car is the body (and even only the hood and the shell are original)....and it wasn't a TC to begin with :hick:

Clean,  I may have to drop by and take a look at it, seeing as I'm 20 miles from ya.  I'd like to know where around here your getting that chrome tape as the chrome on my black tbird is horrendous and I think chrome on black is shag.

At first when I saw you were gonna ditch the 2.3 i was like "eh another guy ditching it for a v8" but then I saw the I6 part, and then i was like hey thats unique.

Looks awesome.  BTW, I'm sure you've said it before, but who did the cage?
Title: A couple shots of the 83.....
Post by: Chuck W on June 05, 2006, 11:23:04 AM
The cage was made my me. I re-did the back-half recently, but the mainhoop and front bars were done 5-6 years ago at least.

Speaking of which, yes I have my parts.

Just been to busy with "personal" matters to do much with it and I'm still wanting to get the car on the road as it is for the time being.

Y es..it's top secret.:deal:

Really there's nothing too fancy about what's in there and when I get the last of the stuff hooked up I'll get a couple more pics.  There are actually a couple pics from last week in my other thread HERE (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=8541);)
