Miscellaneous For Sale/Wanted / Parting out 91 2.3 mustang
I picked up a rough but running 91 mustang from a buddy of mine for the trans and a couple other things. Off of it Im keeping the T5, roller cam and followers for sure. I may keep some other stuff as I go thru it that will work on my TC, but everything else is up for grabs. Other than my price for whats left of the car (s price) prices of stuff are negotiable and throwing out your best offer is encouraged. The only other thing that isnt for sale in the pics is the pony rims, those I have to return to my buddy. They were just put on so I can move it around.

remainder of car $250

Dual plug head, minus cam & followers $100 also will make a deal with bottom end
Bell housing $50
Clutch, brake, accelerator pedal assembly $50
Ircm $30
Short block $75
DIS engine wiring harness - make offer
Any interior parts - make offer

There is obviously more to it, I just havent had time to go thru everything yet. Im only going to keep it around for a couple weeks. Whats left then will meet its demise in a crusher.

Body/Appearance/Interior / trim removal and resto help
As anyone paying attention to my project thread nows, Ive started body work. Now I need to figure out removal of a few things and what people have done to restore others.

First is this trim on the door as I dont want to bend or break anything. Along with that the front window trim.





And for now last but not least, the quarter window trim. What are you guys doing to restore/impove the look of it. Mines got the rough cracked look, Ive got some ideas but wanted to see what others have done.

Suspension/Steering / tire and wheel questions
Ok right now Im just playing with the idea of a 5 lug swap, mainly for the bigger selection of wheels. The wheels I have in mind right now are off of a mustang and Im pretty sure they are 17" bullitt wheels (have them at work on a top shelf!! ). Now I know there has been some members that have/do run them. My big question is what are you all running for tire size as thats the one part of the whole thing that I havent figured out yet. Im trying to figure out on top of the swap cost, rim cost, what tires are gonna add to the overall total. Mainly because of picking stuff up to get it road worthy, I need to see if its feasible to now or gather parts for a year and do next winter.

Electrical Tech / System sentry - can it be eliminated?
Ok Ive searched to see if its been done, but cant find any threads pertaining to it. With some of the mods Im doing like the headlight relays, its becoming an increasingly not needed part. What Im wondering is anyone has been able to eliminate it with no problems and how did they do it. If it can be done relatively easy Im going to move the pocket to its place and put some gauges up in the pocket slot. Any help would be greatly appreciatied

Body/Appearance/Interior / Can a non moonroof headliner work in a moonroof car?
Ive pretty much decided my backing is to far gone to recover. I have some lines on some non moonroof headliners, but before I go getting one. Im trying to figure out if it will work. I do have my headliner(in shiznitty shape its in) as a template for modding a non moonroof one if it will work. Thanks for the help guys!!

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / some interior parts and someone to modify a speedo to 140mph
Right now I know for sure I need a rear deck(where the speakers are) cover in blue, mines seen better days, if the grilles are there it would be great. Or a hook up on some replacement carpet and some headliner material.

If someone has a drivers side door armrest in blue in good shape I could use one of them to, either that or I need to fix mine.

Probably be adding more as I dig into things more

Now for my biggy part, I suck at soldering on circuit boards and dont have the stuff to calibrate for the accuracy. I have a speedo already that could be modded or traded inplace of a modded one. The speedo I have has 66,000 mile on the odometer!!

I have cash and also alot of extra parts I can barter with!!!

Events & Shows / Mustang Rally - All Fords Welcome
A very good friend of mine has started to hold a show and cruise. Started as once a year and this year he decided to do 2. The next one is October 12 2013, starts at 2:30, cruise at 4:00. Its always a blast!!! Im trying to get more Tbirds to start going along, as last year I was the only one!!!!  All are welcome to come and enjoy the fun!! Unfortunately the only way my new Tbird could make it is on a trailer, since I wont have time to get it even close to drivable by then. But I may atleast take the big old Super Duty!!!




Heres a couple pics from stops at last years cruise.

User Rides / Project "Barn Bird"
Since I finally have the red TC sold, I can pick up my Barn Find TC. Plans as of right now are pretty big for it, atleast in making it look good right off the bat. The body being relatively clean and just need a little work and paint and a clean up of the entire car inside and out. Other than the underside that will be taken car of first before the drivetrain goes back in, my intial focus will be on getting it mechanically and electrically sound.

I know for sure at a minimum brake wise I will atleast need to either turn the rotors or replace, new pads all the way around, and atleast more than likely rear calipers(we all know why). Engine will be treated to minimum of a full tune up and any thing else it may need. Im gonna need to get a T5 as thats the only thing missing I have found out, looks like Im headed to the u-pull-it soon!!! Im gonna have to de-mouse-nest the entire car and probably clean the entire interior, but they didnt chew the interior so thats a plus! If anyone has the link for the company that sells the moonroof seals also Im gonna need it and cant remember it!!! 

This thread is gonna end up being pic heavy as I get started on it. Plan is to have it cleaned, together and running as of spring. Along with hoping I get paint and some powder coating done by then also. I have hook ups for both so it may work out!!

These pics are taken at its resting place in the barn for the entire time the PO has had it.
