I'm going tomorrow (Friday) morning.I'm leaving at 7 to be there by opening at 8.If you need something,and are willing to pay a very fair price,let me know and I'll do what I can.No promises.The last time I was there a lot of the best stuff was gone.That was a couple of months ago.Who knows what's there now?Anyway,I'll do my best.I'll check here before I leave.If it's after 7:00 Friday (tomorrow) morning,it's too late to ask.
you have my list.... good luck soldier, we're counting on you :):bowdown:
btw, i don't know if it's an east part to get to, but i need a blower motor resistor too (i only have high speed and auto hole says they are $35... ouch)
If there is a 140 speedo, tripminder, or 87/88 TC boot console piece in really nice shape, I'll be glad to grab em.
center console in decent shape, and the radio surround for it.
driver side taillight for my 88 xr-7 :) no cracks, looking for a nice one
As I stated,I'll do my best.
Kingcars,I think I have a shifter boot in really nice shape in the garage.I just put my 140 mph speedo on Ebay.believe it or not,no bids,but 14 people watching.
Where's the blower motor resistor?In the blower assembly itself?I've never had to deal with that.
the blower motor resistor can be repaired by replacing the thermal fuse near the coils with a 24awg wire.
problem solved.
lower glove box all the way down,, its mounted with two screws to the air box.
funny, my blower assembly box is a mirror image of your pic... anyway, popped out the resistor block.... is this where i add the straight wire to?
Hey Kitty,I couldn't get the resistor.sorry.
It was a rather uneventful salvage yard day.I got the following....
-Mass Air meter/sensor from a Mark VIII (injectors were gone)
-'88 T-Bird driver side tail light assembly
-Early 70's Ford sport mirrors (hard to find and worth a few bucks)
-Thunderbird/Cougar sunroof shade (red,pretty good shape,no cracks)
-3 sets (of 8) 19# fuel injectors
-a set of squeeze to release injector plugs (cool)
-Dome light lens
-5.0 dip stick tube
-Like new,distributor cover (I like those for some reason).
and that's really about it.Like I said,bad salvage yard day.I have a lead on a few more parts cars.I found a silver LX (5.0 car) that's silver with gray interior,full digi dash,8 hole wheels,column shift,bad tranny (the owner says),very straight body,100% complete,good glass.$500.00.I'm thinking about getting it and parting it out.Not sure yet.If I can talk him down,it's a possibility.He says he has a red one as well for the same price,but I haven't seen it yet.Everybody send me $50.00 each (just kidding).If I get the car,I know I can probably sell enougf to make a good part of my money back,then the body itself will bring a little as well.It's still a "maybe" situation.
Haystack......no parts for you from the yard..I think I have a red console,but it's mostly stripped except for the storage bin.I also have a face panel.
Kingcars....I think I have the shifter boot in the garage.
Bob,out of 5 Cougars,every one had cracked lenses.The clear "cats" were all busted out.
Kitty....All of the earlier than '87 dew wipes were wasted.I did get a light cover for you.Send me your address through PM and I'll mail it to you next Monday or Tuesday.
I know you didnt find any last time....but cougar leather wrapped steering wheels? The 87/88 kind naturally, with cruise control. Though I would have to imagine most do have it kinda rare not to right?
don't need the dew wipes, i need the body seal and the window run channel weatherstrip (you know, the weatherstripping on the sides of the windows as they go up)...... hope you didn't misunderstand me and pass one by......... here's what i'm talking about...... i need both sides (the window pinched it on the top so it leaks)
p.s. no need to waste money sending the cover by itself.... i can wait til you find other stuff to send with it :)
Oh,I see.I was mistaken about what to look for.I'll be heading back out there hopefully this coming week.I'll check again for the RIGHT pieces this time.LOL.
np... should have sent pics the first time :)
As I said,I'm going back on the first fairly decent day.If they are on a car,I'll grab them.
just so you know and per my diy link>>>>>>>

.yep,, "door weather stripping" yields some goodies you might want to read. wonder if erics hard work turns up to be a source for you.
Vinnie: Can you post pictures of the sunroof shade? How much are you looking to get for it?
Thanks,
Rick
can you look for black seat belts out of mark 7, mustang or bird/cougar with the retractor in the rear seat not at top thanks front and back would be great
Vinnie I know ya didnt find any last time you went, any 87/88 cats this time with the leather steering wheel?
No leather steering wheel,sorry.I look for those everywhere.There's one on the LX I want to get ($500.00),but it has heat/sun damage.
The sunroof shade is gone.
I'll check on seat belts when I go back.
Yeah mine's most definitely serviceable but the top is sun baked naturally so if I ever come upon one I'll jump on it.
Vinnie,
Next time you go...

I'll check.What color?I was hoping to go today or tomorrow,but a freak ice storm just popped up yesterday.I'm sure we'll be on the weather channel or the news somewhere.
It's the darker grey of the two.
It's an 83-85 only color though
Got it.Added to the list.There's a couple of new (to me) yards I plan on checking when the weather clears up.
