Well I finally made it back out to the salvage yard.  I havent made it out there in a couple of months due to my wife having a couple of surgeries but I made it back out there today.  Most of the fox Cougars/Birds that were there were gone.  The trunk lid carpeting car is gone too, sorry Romeo. 

Here is what I found.

















































1986 Mercury Cougar - 2.3T/T5 swap, TC brakes and suspension and rearend, 3" exhaust, 255 lph fuel pump, Stinger BOV, Gillis MBC @ 18 psi
2003 Chevy Suburban Z71 - Daily driver
2015 Chevy Volt - Wife's daily driver

If you spot a grey pair of the shoulder belt hooks that attach to the top of the seats under the headrest, I'd be interested.

Back and super tired from going over the entire yard.

They had 2 'Cougs ('83 & '85) and 2 'Birds ('84 & '86)
The '84 was charcoal blue like mine, Only the second T-Bird i've seen in this color. The '86 was the purple wine color.

No box Foxes, And no shoulder strap thingers.
I did grab the air bag cover from a '95 Mustang as i thought Watchdevil might want it. (Spindles gone)

Found a Mummified cat corpse inside an econoline van they had just brought out.

Pics of my goodies to come at some point.

Had sticker shock at the register, They raised prices and nickel and dimed me... Not how it was just a year ago.

Bought 2 12" 500w MTX Thunder Subwoofers inside a carpeted enclosure all for 19.99 at the local thrift store!


Not a junkyard find... But they are going in the T-Bird none the less. :mullet:

Those look like the Thunder 5000's I have, 150w RMS. VERY nice speakers, but you definitely need an amp that can give them full power.

Nice find!

I appreciate you thinking of me. I feel kinda bad I could not take you up on your generosity. However I did try repairing a split airbag cover already and it just did not work for me. If there is anything you need that I have for sale please let me know.

Indeed!
The lady at the register told me they did not work, so they were just charging for the box.
I wheeled it back (heavy) to the electronic area and looked for anything with a speaker out, Oddly enough they did not have anything... i finally found a clock radio w/ rca outs (lol) snipped a piece of speaker wire off a cheapie speaker used my handy leatherman style tool to unscrew the speakers from the box and tested them with the clock radio. :rollin:
Turns out they werent connected inside the box, One worked great the other has a snapped wire going to the cone, theres enough to solder it back together.

I went to the junk yard in my new home town and all I could find was one 70s cougar, and one TC hood on the ground with no car to match. I also saw a wierd monza with a body kit. I know you guys might not dig it, but I kinda like monzas.
