Lucky day..

Well, talked Nicole into going with me to a yard today, and I found a TC! '88, blue, and blue, every option but leather.

Dunno what the engine/trans are like, 8.8 is gone, as is the driver's taillight, dash, wheels/tires, and the shifter.

I'm going back tomorrow to this same place, so if anyone wants the front brake stuff, now is the time to talk.

Someone fubar'd the headliner, or it would've came home with me :mad:

I've got the driver's taillight, wheels, 8.8, and some interior trim, both door pulls and whatnot for my own use, but there's a lot of good parts left.

If someone wants something, again, let me know, but I'm about to hit my budget, so if there's requests, I'll need repayment rather soon...

I only want what I pay for parts, plus the shipping.
I wish I could just get the whole car.

I have some cell phone pics, but am extremely tired, so I'll get em uploaded tomorrow when I get home again.
I will check again before I take out in the AM.


I discovered this place by accident, someone told me a little place had a coupla '94 or '95 Mustangs...no mustangs, but this is better:D

Well Vin, it IS usable, but it's not perfect. If you need a decent one to get you by for awhile...

If the Dark Blue Front Seat Belt Receivers (Console Side of Front Seats) arent broken at all and are in good shape, I'd be interested one or both.

And don't forget to grab the Horn Button if it's still there, And some TC badges. ;)

Here's some shots from this morning when I first got back to it:











this by far is the worst of the body damage:



I've got the, eec, hood, foglights, driver side taillight, complete rear end AND ALL brake cables (that do slide), the wheels/tires and I managed to find the centercaps as well, in a CVPI, of all things.

There's some other little doo-dads I got as well, but nothing major, just some trim and small interior pieces.

I know some of you asked about stuff, but it was spur-of-the-moment on the return trip today. Nicole agreed that it was a stroke of luck finding a complete 8.8, so she let me go after it, then when we were there, she told me to get the hood, since it's in ed good shape. Much better than the chinese (aftermarket) hood I have...

Heartbreaking to see a nice TC in this shape end up in the 'yard. If I'd been there Friday, and was allowed to buy it, I would've.
 it. At least parts will live on with other cars...

Anyway, I'm tired, been up since 4:30 AM, I need my downtime now. I'm pretty wiped out, don't remember being this tired in a long  time....y'all be good till I get back with pics of my loot :D

Safety and peace to all who fly Birds and ride Cats :bowdown:;)
