Parting out 86' 3.8 T-Bird March 08, 2006, 01:12:55 AM The body on this car is a total rust bucket. The interior is grey, and isn't to bad. dash has cracks. The Glass is good. So is all the tail lights, and head light benzels. I need to make it go away. It is all there, except for the motor, trans, exhaust is shot, and wheels/tires. It doesn't have posi. Anything else is there. Oh, and the passenger mirror is broken. Everything worked electronically, except the digital dash (had some light bulbs burnt out, I think) Any one that wants anything off of this car, let me know. It is going to be gone by the end of the spring. I live in Dyersville, IA 52040 (Near Dubuque, IA) Quote Selected

Parting out 86' 3.8 T-Bird Reply #3 – March 08, 2006, 10:35:23 AM I will get some pics by the end of the week. It is sitting in a garage out at my grandpa's farm. And the engine is gone. I pulled it out along with the tranny. The car only had 60,000 miles on it. I was going to drive it, but the strut tower had a ring that was rusted out. Quote Selected

Parting out 86' 3.8 T-Bird Reply #5 – March 09, 2006, 05:22:56 PM I can wait a while. I am not hitting the junkyards till alot of the snow melts. Also, I dont really need the timing chain cover, But I dropped mine somehow I think, and I bent up the bottom of it. Lemme know though. It would be much appreciated. Quote Selected

Parting out 86' 3.8 T-Bird Reply #8 – March 15, 2006, 08:17:47 AM Hi Sduneman, I'm looking for a few misc. parts. I need the clear lens cover for the left side of the license plate recess area (triangular shape),also the trim pieces for the front face of the dash and the 3 pieces of the dash that go under the steering wheel along the bottom of the dash. Also, the console panel where the window and mirror controls are located. I may also be interested in the interior door panels if they're in good shape. Thanks, Jeff Quote Selected
Parting out 86' 3.8 T-Bird Reply #9 – March 15, 2006, 12:26:15 PM hmm. sorry didnt see this for a couple of days. I had all my bolts sitting in a bucket by my car, and my little brother decided he needed a bucket to make a fort out of the snow, long story short, I dont know which ones I need, and which ones I dont a good majority if not all of them would be great. That is alot to ask though. This would include accesories if at all possible.. What would a price be for a passenger side tail light? Quote Selected
