You should have bought mine, the P/S works just fine, and it doesn't buck... Plus it doesn't have a clear coat problem...

two words...heater core :p

i would have loved to have bought yours, but this is a bit more convienent for me, plus the guy gave me a spare turbo, exhaust manifold, intake manifolds, fuel rail assembly, distributor and a bunch of other odds and ends
It's Gumby's fault.

Man I want a 5-speed :)
However I regret the next car I get won't be fox body.
Anyway I'm glad I don't have the ugly red interior in my Cat anymore ;)

That interior looks to be in pretty good shape.

I'd keep it red just for the difference.....

You just don't see many colors other than tan, grey or black in most newer cars....*yawn*

the interior is staying red, its too much work converting, if it were trashed, it would become a raven interior, but other than one tear, the worn out shifter  and the flaked paint on the seat switch panel, its nearly perfect

im doing a junkyard run with a friend, after that im going to get some tune up items for the TC, clean it up and take some more pics

well Tom, by throwing the heater core issue with the TC you have around, i caused some bad kharma, i was changing the plugs, i look up, see two little tubes sticking out of the firewall, then i see a hose looping the two coolant pipes together...

nice looking car. Then power steering in my car is out as well. Minus driving with food, you almost dont notice. And that is with the 5.0

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
