Bought a TC

well, i just brought the car home, no power steering made it interesting

i did encounter a typical TC problem, i was driving, then it started running like ass, bucking, jumping, shaking, going nuts, then it just cleared up and ran fine

the car is in need of a tune up, tires, exhaust bangs around a little, it hesitates a bit, power steering needs fixing and some good ole Tbird232ci type lovin

pics will be up this weekend
It's Gumby's fault.

"good ole Tbird232ci type lovin"? Windows down in a rainstorm again? :p

Just kidding. Enjoy your Bird. At least you can drive your second Bird right now. Mine's going to be sitting for quite some time. (no money to get a new tag, which is something like $180 down here)

Is that the dark blue (like my '88) or black? My guess is the blue.

I'm a little whacked on paint fumes and Fridays' drinks right now.. lol. Whatever your response, it may end up looking like "electric donkey bumpers" to me.

Wow, I guess I'm a little more fried from the paint fumes than I thought. :p

Yeah, I suppose I can see it as gray, but it looks like there's a blue tint to the picture. I'll wait to see the daylight pics.. heh.

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...
