Miscellaneous For Sale/Wanted / Lincoln MK VII parts
Anybody here be interested or know where to advertise? I have a pretty clean 89 that was rolled but cant find anybody in my area that needs anything and hate to crush good parts.

This is kind of my last resort. Im in central BC Canada.

Engine Tech / Reman/crate/rebuild
Rebuild it, then you know exactly what you have. Do it properly and you dont need a warranty because you will know everything is done right.

Lounge / Parts Shopping turns into PT job
Time or money, never seem to have both at the same time. At least I havent been able to figure it out yet.

Give er a go, who knows what it could turn in to. What are you doin now for work?

User Rides / I have to many T bird
I dont get it... Whats the problem?

Only Issues I see is that it is time to start spreading gravel over the lawn, and there is one of those pesky stangs trying to sneak in to the mix.

Lounge / Can i be honest with you all?
I dont come around here much, usually just once or twice every few months. Mainly because I am preoccupied on other vehicles and projects and theres not much here for the 80-82's.

I have to agree with the uninviting attitude of this place though. The snide remarks really turn people off of both reposting or signing up in the first place.

User Rides / A new Bird for me!
I wasnt too crazy about the colours either but after I got mine polished up I really like it.






Mine is a Town Landau, you dont see too many base model cars with tu-tone paint.

Nice heritage too.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Ignition switch removal 88 TC
So say a guy ends up with an 88 TC with half a key. can I get one made from the door lock or do I have to take the whole steering column in to the locksmith. Also how would a person forcibly remove the switch without a key. Can I just drill out the locking pin and remove it? Would really like to try and start it today.

User Rides / 1982 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau
Right on, glad you found the build sheet and sent it to John at the registry. The more info we can gather on these cars the better. I registered the black 82 landau today as well.

Where in you car did you find the build sheet?

Lounge / oh god why!
It's not a turbo and by the looks of the quarter and lower door/rocker it was pretty rough to begin with so more power to him for making it useful and keeping it out of the junkyard.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Chased down an 82 bird today.
Almost didnt notice it as it passed the opposite direction but it did catch my eye! I turned off a side street, did a u-turn, and chased him right in to the cemetery :hick:

I never seen a black one in person before. lol







Same owner since 1985, he was picking up his new truck when it came in on trade, seen it and had to have it. Traded in a plymouth volare for $3750 off the $10,000 bird with 14,000km. Car now has 111,000km. Always been garaged and his wife only used it to run errands. The interior is the darkest bordello red I have ever witnessed, no sun fade at all!

First thing he said to me was "wana buy it?" Well DUH! :crazy: Had a good BS session with the guy, exchanged phone numbers and parted ways.



If I were working I woulda paid the man and brought it home! But if I spend my savings I gotta go back to work and thats no fun. It will have to wait till I decide to go to work then I will go chat with the old fella some more.

I cant wait to take the buffer and some wax to that black!
