Where's the love???

I initially bought this as a parts car but after cleaning it up a little today I think it's gonna be a keeper. The engine turned by hand so after squirting some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders I pulled the coil lead and cranked it. Turns over nice. Reattached the coil lead and boom. Just cranks. Fugeddaboudit.....outta gas. A little ether and she fired up from a 16 year slumber.

, good finds. You need to find me a cheap 2wd 5-speed 93-96 2.3 Ranger to donate my Cougar engine for a turbo parts getter. I never have any luck finding things.

Are you gonna drive that TC? Looks like the strut tower is pretty rotted, looks like I can see a pretty big hole in it. Maybe I am just seeing things. I just wanted to mention it just in case you didn't see it.

The towers, rails, floor pans and unibody rails are almost perfect on the car. Just some light surface rust from sitting. Guess I need to stop hogging up my thread and start a build thread

Amazing! With all of the possibilities for problems, it runs! I'll never look at a py the same again. You should upload a video of the thing running!

I need a trunk latch for my 1987 Thunderbird. It recently stopped staying latched.

Anybody been out to New Ringgold lately? Thinking of going out this Friday to scope out some Subaru stuff, look for a truck that has a 454 for my dad's Chevelle, and see if I can get super lucky and find an Aviator. Looking for fenders for the Cougar, among other things...like see if the spring hood hinges I saw are still there.

Geesh the last Fox Thunderbird/Cougar around here popped up in December of 2013. It was an 88 Thunderbird Sport with 168K on the clock. I grabbed the taillights, header, grill, and front bumper cover off of it. They are part of my emergency crash parts stash now.
