I hope you discinnected the driveshaft when you towed the car like that.... i towed mine on a dolly as well but i put the rear wheels on the dolly so i didn't have to disconnect the driveshaft

The 87 FC i just picked up also doesn't have bins either

Good luck with the car, im in the same boat, have to figure out why it won't run lol

Why bother disconnecting the driveshaft? I never understood doing that on manual cars........ there's just no need to.

Either way though, I would've towed it with the car transport. I've done that many times with my FC on my XJ and never had a problem. The surge brakes are SOOOOOOOO nice to have. A few weeks ago a good friend of mine and I went to MD to pick up his buddies Mustang vert. That pig + trasport was > the rating on the XJ so we rented a dolly instread. It was fucking MISERABLE towing with that fucking POS in the rain

Someone else got to it first :icon_tdown::o10::(:banghead:

I've got some useable TII housings and a pair of rotors and a set of S4 irons if you're interested

Nice buy. How much does that FC weigh since it basically optionless?

Not sure, I'd guess 2650-2700-ish.

By now it's probably down to about 2550 since the seats are out and the block is stripped down to nothing at the moment :rofl:, it'll lose a couple hundred more pounds in a few days when the engine and trans come out :icon_tup:.

Damn it, I'm still bummed about that TII stuff :(

No thanks on those, I'm trying to concentrate on just getting another n/a engine right now. I don't have the budget to piece together a turbo engine setup at the moment. Thanks for offering them up though.

I'm working on a deal with a local guy that I hope works out, he's trying to sell his '90 n/a, but he says if it doesn't sell in a couple days he's going to keep the car but pull the engine and start on a TII swap. If that happens, he's going to sell me the n/a motor and transmission and an aftermarket clutch for $550 or $600 (can't remember which :lol:) Then I'll have to put all my S4 sensors and injectors and stuff onto it so I can run it on my S4 ECU. I've been working on electronic activation for the 6pi and VDI using an electric air pump.

Either way I have plenty of stuff to keep me occupied in the meantime. I'm currently working on re-looming my emissions harness, then once the engine comes out the engine bay needs a hell of a scrub :lol:.
