1990 Auto SC For Free

[SC4LIFE]

Thats right ladies and gents, I'm GIVING away my 90 SC (white). HOWEVER... here are a few things you will want to know..

1. The underbody is rusted really badly, and I mean REALLY BADLY (good luck jacking this bad boy up with normal car jacks)
2. The drivers sided window is cracked at one of the clamps so moving the window up and down is a risk.
3. After 15 mins of running the CE light comes on and idles erracticaly but then stops after 3-5mins.
4. HG's were replaced last August, but never ran the same since.
5. Washer fluid plastic piece cracked at pump. (connects to the hose)
6. The car has been repainted in a few areas becuase of vandalism :mad: and being hit at Price Chopper parking lot at Midland & Lawrence a year and a half ago :(

I've tried to maintain the car as best I could with doing all the required services and replacing with FORD parts when needed, but it has come to a time where I must let it go. So i'm offering it to members of the SCCoO for parts. I would leave it where it is (my underground) so that parts could be taken by members, but I NEED TO MOVE THE ENTIRE car to make room for parking. The car is lowered with Eibach springs and new front shocks were put in 2 years ago when I lowered it.

Now the main reason I haven't fixed these problems is the ball joint pop out while I was driving it 5 months ago, luckily for me it happened at about 5kms while I was pulling into my local variety store. I've had it fixed since then and drove it for a month after that, but I don't feel safe driving it. So anyone with a flat bed who wants it CAN HAVE IT FOR FREE!!! OR!!! I will donate it to the club so that it can be teared down and used for parts, only thing is the tear down can't be done at my place since I need to move the car for parking space. This is my way of saying THANKS to many members who have help me AND others with our various problems :) . All are welcome to come look at the car just let me know when, evenings and weekends are best for me.

btw... I haven't totally given up on SC's, I now have a 94SC Pearl White :)

Cheers,
Luke
lukejones@rogers.com for any inquiries.

[MY90SC]

sure I'll bite how do I get a hold of you? oh ok I sent you an e-mail.

Just so everyone knows this car will be parted out all I am after is the rims and tires and the lowering springs the rest of the parts will be up for grabs for free you will have to come and get the part if you need it but it won't cost any member of the club anything but time and effort.

[SeanMatteson]

If this is first come, first served, I'd like dibs on the complete engine, from oil pan to blower top, including IC and IC tubes. I also want the EEC, in case I ever decide to swap an AOD into my 5-spd car. Of course, I would consider handing it over to a fellow member if theirs failed and they needed a replacement part.

Also, I think I know of another SCCoO club member who would really appreciate the AOD, since his may have been seriously damaged last weekend.

If we need to get this thing towed to my place to perform the 'rape', then I'll pitch in for the tow. I know of a company in T.O. who could flat-bed it to my place for a couple hundred dollars. I'd be willing to assist with removal of other parts, and a local wrecking company will probably take what's left without charging us any money.

Luke and Ron, you've got mail!

Cheers,

Sean

[MY90SC]

Excellant Sean this sounds like fun. We can also use my shop here in Breslau power tools would certainly speed up the process. Which I don't have here but the offer still stands even if I am not the one that ends up with the car...If someone beat me to the punch I am still interested in the Springs and rims

[tbirdsc357]

Well I was going to ask for the IC but I guess that's gone....oh well.

[Greg Coleman]

Ive got a flat bed truck and will come and get it!!:D

[MY90SC]

So do I :D

[Peterdroy66]

Hey, guess I'm kind of 3 steps behind, and need it like a hole in the head, But I'll take it .
Could blow it up for a movie??

[92strokedbird]

I could use the tranny,driving around at 3 grand for a few years it would be nice!Let me know!

[SC4LIFE]

Ron,
Its yours.. i'll give you call today.

Will update everyone later today with the outcome.

Cheers,
Luke

[MY90SC]

Thats great Luke thank you very much
I will make sure that the most needy gets what is needed off of the car for no charge. Depending on how much it costs me to have it towed of course I may try to recoup that cost or maybe Sean and I can split it.

[SeanMatteson]

If I'm getting the stuff I described in my post above, then I'll gladly split the towing costs. Getting the car out of the underground might be fun, if it's not running. The towing company will most likely need it to be above ground in order to load the car on the flatbed.

Aside from the stuff that Ron and I have spoken for, and Stephen and some others, we'll need the car gone from my place very quickly. To that end, we'll be looking to strip her down ASAP, and I won't have room to warehouse everything for anymore than a day or two, so please start speaking up if there's anything you want off this thing, everyone!

Regards,

Sean

[92strokedbird]

I have CAA Plus,i believe that i am allowed a bunch of km's.The car would need to be transferred into my name first though.I will also chip in for the tow if this would be too much of a hassle!

[SeanMatteson]

Stephen,

Why would you need the car ownership transfered into your name? I have a standard CAA membership, and the membership is to me, regardless of which vehicle I need towed. I could be riding with a buddy in his car, and my membership would still be applicable.

Even with CAA Plus, I'm not sure that you get enough km's to get the car from the T.O. area to my place in Hamilton. When I got my last parts car towed to my place, the company flat-bedded it all the way from Etobicoke for $200 cash. If we split that three ways, it shouldn't be bad at all. Further, if others who need parts kick in a little to offset the towing costs, it shouldn't hurt at all.

If you get the tranny out of this car, would you be willing to give Steven Richards your old one for a core in case he needs it? His tranny may have been wrecked last Sunday by an imbecile towtruck driver!!!

Cheers,

Sean

[Fordz Coupe]

I'll call "Dibs" on the Eibach's & Front shocks if no one else has "reserved" them. Also looking for all the seats if they are Leather.
Let me know who is arranging for the flatbed so I can chip in.

[SeanMatteson]

Mr. Day,

I believe Ron Young has spoken for the Eibach's and wheels/tires. I think the front shocks are still available.

Ron is going to view the car tonight, and then we'll setup the tow. Stay tuned to this thread for more information regarding towing costs and scheduling.

Cheers,

Sean

[Bill McNeil]

This is exactly why I have Esso Auto Club, and NOT CAA. I can have anyone's car towed, anywhere, anytime, no matter who it is, as long as I make the call with my membership number.

I'll take the fat axle shaft, please! (dibs)

Let me know about the tow. 160 km maximum.

[Fordz Coupe]

Sorry guys, posted before I read the whole thread.

[92strokedbird]

Once i put the tranny in my old one will be avaliable, yes of course!

[SeanMatteson]

Just so everyone knows, Steve R. is out of town until later this week, and that's why I'm trying on his behalf to secure a replacement core tranny in case he needs one.

Cheers,

Sean

[Bill McNeil]

So what's the deal?

You guys are planning on PAYING for a tow?

My offer still stands.

[MY90SC]

thats great Bill I will talk to you later tonight about it at the meet. I think I may even take the shocks if they are good of course unless Fordz Coupe really needs them he did call them first I am up against doing the front shocks on my car within the next few weeks and will be planning on the airbag thing at the back.

at any rate

seeya

[SC4LIFE]

The car runs, so getting it out of the underground won't be an issue. I only recomend putting it on a flat bed or have it towed on those little trollies that tow trucks have. The reason for this is becuase of the front left ball joint popped out on me before, scared the shiznit out of me and i'm afraid it could happen again.

Regarding the tranny, there is a leak in it, but i think it just need to be resealed. Ron is comming by tonight to look at the car, he can also give some input on what he sees.

Cheers,
Luke

[92strokedbird]

Thanks Luke,regarding the tranny where does it leak from and did the overdrive work.Thanks Again!

[KClarke]

If there are no other takers yet I'd like the skirts, bumpers and driver side door please and thank you. :D I'd chip in on the tow bill if any and help others with whatever wrenching is required.

Thanks Luke!! I'm glad you've got another SC. Hope it treats you better than the 90.

[Jason Wild]

Can I get the diff from the car I want a set of 3:27. As you know i'm all ready there to help pull stuff off lets start this weekend:)

[SC4LIFE]

Steve,
The OD works perfectly fine. I was told by the mechanic who did my HG's that the leak was around the casing. I asked him if he'd fixed it and he said no *shrug* I never asked why not cuz I was upset at the time about the dings I saw on the car when I got it back.

If I can get a hold of a digital cam tonight i'll take some pics.

Cheers,
Luke

[Greg Coleman]

I need a drivers seat and a back fold down seat and will split the cost aswell if need be

[92strokedbird]

First off where is the car going,secondly i am working weekends.I have Thursday and Friday off any takers for working on these days!

[SC4LIFE]

Greg,
The seats in my 90 are not the fold down ones unfortunately. The seats however are in good shape.

Cheers,
Luke

[Night-Ryder]

Can i Call dibs on the Factory JBL AMPS if the car was equiped!
Whats the details, is this going down ?

[Matt Man 89SC]

I would be interested in both front steering knuckles complete. I am willing to help out with disassessembly, and chip in for towing if need be. Where is the car being towed to?

Thanks
~Matt

[SC4LIFE]

Hey all, met with Ron this evening and it looks like its a done deal. We just need to wortk out a time for the pick up, maybe Saturday morning (I got a tee off time at 1:00 at Lakeridge Links that day :) . Hopefully we can hook up early morning and get it towed away.

Ron,
Let them know what you think. It'll be in your hands bro to figure out who gets dibs on what :D ... Oh, just a small reminder, the solid motor mounts part# and source ;)

Night-Rider,
The system thats in there is the PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM. There is no indication that its the JBL system.

Cheers,
Luke

[MY90SC]

Ok I looked at the car tonight it runs like Luke said. the front and rear bumpers have both been hit and fixed. Interior is fair to good usual drivers side wear. 247000kms big puddle of t-fluid under car. started right up and ran fairly smooth. While at the meet tonight and on the board only about 3/4 of the car is spoken for:D
I'll try and sort it out for everyone
I'll start with what I am keeping
Headlights
Rims
Alarm
springs
front shocks (maybe)
Sean Matteson's list
Motor and everything with it for S/C incl. I/C and tubes.

tranny for Steve N

Ryan was naming parts for like 20 minutes I told him to send me an e-mail:eek:
Keith- Bumpers and drivers door(I know Ryan wants the motors for the windows.)
Matt- front steering knuckles
Rear end pod for Bruce
thats all I can think of right now it's too late

seeya

[SeanMatteson]

Ron,

I think it was Jason Wild who spoke for the pumpkin, not Bruce.

Guys,

Some of you have asked what I would want with another spare engine, especially a complete motor top to bottom including the blower, IC and all plumbing. I don't want to divulge details right now, but I've got a 'different' project in mind. It involves transplanting most of the SC powertrain into something a little more condusive to going fast. ...'nough said.

...But that's why I need everything, top to bottom.

If no one needs them, I may even strip out the wiring harnesses. It would really help make the swap easier.

To that end, I'll be pulling the motor as complete as I can (accessory brackets, with accessories, all electronics, etc.). Of course, I don't want us to lose sight of Luke's intended purpose for 'donating' this car - if anyone finds that they really need this stuff, and my project hasn't got off the ground yet, you need only ask.

I just wanted to take a second to thank Luke, on behalf of all those who are going to benefit from his generousity. I guess if you're going to give up one of these cars for salvage, you might as well see that it all goes back into the community devoted to keeping these things alive whenever/wherever possible. So, my hat is off to Luke!

Best regards,

Sean

[MY90SC]

Sean,

Bruce had sent me an e-mail earlier asking for the pumpkin or pot or whatever it is. I did not check my mail until arriving at home at 12:25am. I made the huge mistake of getting off at Winston Churchill to get some Sunoco 94 and WOW the very intelligent engineers decided to close the entrance to the QEW/403 what the heck I had to feel my way to Dundas to get back on.

everyone,
I would like everyone to respect that I do not want these parts being sold by any of the recipients of the various parts.

That is not what Luke and I discussed during our meeting. He has given us this car in hopes of helping out fellow club members with some parts. Free of charge. I told him that I would make sure that happens.
I will go over this whole thread and list eveyones requests and in the case of overlap I will simply go with first contact from here on in I have some e-mail to go through as well.

I hope everyone understands this

I will be giving Luke a free club tee- shirt as a small token of our appreciation.

Thank you again Luke.

[SeanMatteson]

Ahh, I see. I'm sorry. I didn't know that Bruce had contacted you via email regarding the pumpkin.

Just to clarify, when I wrote "I don't want us to lose sight of Luke's intended purpose for 'donating' this car - if anyone finds that they really need this stuff, and my project hasn't got off the ground yet, you need only ask", I didn't mean that I would be willing to sell this stuff. I meant that it would be made available for free.

Ron,

My niece's baptism is this Saturday, so unless we can get the car picked up and to my place before 9:30 AM, I may not be available to help out with the transport. In the event I can't join you, just drop the car off in my driveway, on the right hand side as you're looking at the front of the house, and give me a call so that we can arrange for the keys to be left for me. I'll pull my car out so that the parts car can go into the garage.

Cheers,

Sean

[MY90SC]

just wanted to make sure everyone understood I did read your post Sean
thats kewl I think it will actually be Friday night if thats ok with everyone involved.

[Fordz Coupe]

Ron, I'm not desperate for the front shocks, mine are shot but I wouldn't replace until I found some lowering springs anyway. You need them now so their yours.

I wasn't at the meet & don't know everything that's spoken for so I'll just add that I'm interested in the following items if available: Both Sway Bars, keyless entry module, spare tire cover, battery, horns & rear calipers.

[SeanMatteson]

I hate to do this, but I think we may be best to see if Greg is still willing to have the car stripped at his place. I was just called into the President's office, and asked to be involved in a big project (six weeks) in Portland OR. It looks like I'll be heading out next Wednesday for three days of kick-off meetings, and then again for four days through each of the next five or six weeks. This is a great career opportunity for me, so I really couldn't turn it down.

This isn't 100% definite just yet, but I don't feel comfortable committing to you guys with respect to this car, if there's a chance that I won't be around much starting next week. Also, it was going to be rough enough breaking the news to Alecia about the parts car coming to our place, but to do that and to add that I may have to head out of town for an extended period just isn't a good idea.

I really hope that Greg will pipe up and let us know if the offer still stands.

I also hope that you guys will understand. :confused:

That being said, I'm still interested in the stuff I asked for, and with any kind of luck, we can get this car this weekend and quickly pull off the stuff that everyone wants. I'll have to touch base with Steve R. to get my engine hoist and equalizer back.

Best regards,

Sean

[MY90SC]

if it is being stripped this weekend I am out it is Rebecca's 10th B-day party and dads day on Sunday.
We can bring it here to my shop too if needed.

Luke your part #'s for the solid rubber motor mounts are MOU 31-3503 I got them from carquest in Kitchener

[Jason Wild]

Thats to bad I missed out on that:(
If no one has asked for the brake master cylinder and booster can I have dibs?

[SC4LIFE]

Sean,
You're very welcome and it makes feel real good knowing that the car can be salvaged and used. The SCCoO has helped me tons and this is my payback... (I would do it again if i had to).. Best of luck in the new career opportunity.

Ron,
Thanks for the part# and the t-shirt offer. Keep me in mind when you decide to do another run of shirts. Don't worry about pooling money together before ordering, I get great terms on paying so don't worry about immediate payment.

I'm glad to see that the car is going into good hands and that the parts can still be used. I just hope everyone can get what they need. I must say, i've been debating on how to get rid of it and I didn't want to sell the car knowing that the underbody was in terrible condition and UNSAFE imho, so I decided to donate it for the parts. Big thanks to everyone here who has volunteered to take it and special thanks to RON for taking the time to come by and keeping his word on donating the parts to those who need them.

If anyone has specific questions on whether the car has certain features/options, feel free to ask.


Cheers,
Luke

[Ryan A Harris]

Luke, I thank you for the donation of the car, it will get lots of use this way.

I would like to call "DIBS" on the rotors, pars & calipers. The ones on my '90 are solid, from sitting for year. I hope this is ok?

Ron, whats the deal with this car. When & where?

[MY90SC]

the deal is.. I have a Scotts dads trailer to use nothing to tow it with and I have to get the car out tonight and over to Greg Colemans house for now.
I will post a list this weekend with whoever has dibs on what likely not until Sunday but it will be done.

[Bill McNeil]

Gentlemen,

If I may add a sort of "list" of my own....

-fat axle shaft (called dibs earlier)
-wiper motor
-wiper arms
-power window motors
-ARC actuators
-sunroof motor (if equiped)

That's all I can think of...for now!

Thanks.

[SC4LIFE]

Bill,
If that was you who came by, sorry I couldn't be around to meet you, I had some prior arrangements with my g/f that kept me out till 1am. In any event, I hope everything went smooth.

Ron,
I forget to tell my bro to thro the extra blower in the trunk. Next time you're in town let me know. Also he should have given Bill (if thats who actually came) the extra key and remote for the alarm.
Its a Carbine CA500 alarm system I THINK, i'll dig up the manual/spec sheet if I can find it. Enjoy :D

She's gone now, but I'm happy.

Cheers,
Luke

[MY90SC]

no problem at all Nathan I am home now it is damn near 3:00am
the car is at Gregs place and it looks like next weekend will be tear down.

I have a sunroof motor that is removed from the car sitting in a box that you can have if you like.
I'll be at the Ford BBQ next weekend if you would like me to hand it over to you or someone for you.

[92strokedbird]

I would like the blower if thats ok with all.I mean the extra one!Thanks again Luke!

[Bill McNeil]

Steve,

Sean has already spoken for the blower, I believe.

Last night, I spoke to Ron after arranging the tow, and added to my list the following:

-power antenna motor and mast assembly
-power mirror assemblies

[92strokedbird]

Yes i know that Sean has asked for the engine and blower,i thought that Luke had posted about an etra blower though! I have also asked about the rad if nobody has asked! Maybe we should set up a schedule when people can come and that way we will not be tripping all over each other! Just a thought!

[Bill McNeil]

Steve,

Setting up a publically posted list would have been ideal, and seemed to be the plan from the begining. Ron is sort of caught in the middle right now, because instead of posting what is wanted on this thread, some people have emailed Ron privately to speak for parts, which I think is unfair for everyone.

In my opinion, only those parts that have been spoken for through this means should be allocated to those individuals.

[SeanMatteson]

Guys,

If it's at all possible, could someone please capture some audio of this engine running before anything gets pulled off that will not allow it to run when I get there??? I'd like to know what shape the engine is in (by sound at least), since I may not be rebuilding it before it gets put to use.

Cheers,

Sean

[Bill McNeil]

Sean,

I heard the motor run last night, and after hearing it run, I don't know why it ever became a parts car. The motor starts, runs and idles better than I'll ever experience in my SC again.

I'm not sure if there are issues with the transmission, or if the motor has problems at higher RPMs, but I was surprised how well it ran. Depending on what you're using it for, the motor istelf sounds pretty good to me.

[T1Bird]

hows the rad, and has anyone spoken for it?

id like the rad if possible.. need to return ryans spare rad, need one to be recored

[Ryan A Harris]

Ron, I had thought I had PM'ed you for the mirrors, ANd the switches. The brakes too, Whats the scoop?

[Greg Coleman]

The only thing is this car must remain movable to the last min so I can move it to get my car out of the garage.Once we take the motor out it has to go to the wreckers right away:D

[SC4LIFE]

The reason I gave it up for parts is becuase of the RUST underneath. The engine & body are in decent condition and I maintianed it as best I could, however after I got it back from a HG repair (the mechanic showed me the rust) it never ran the same. After about 15mins of idling/driving it will start to rev high then low for about 5mins, it did cut off a few times while on the 401 also. I would have fixed it but with all the RUST underneath, I felt it wasn't worth it so I bought another one.

Cheers,
Luke

[SeanMatteson]

Guys,

After reading Bill's testimony about how well the engine ran, and regardless of Luke's description of the intermittant problem, I'm happy!

...I'll let you guys in on what I've got in mind, and Ed's gonna laugh when he hears this, 'cause he's thought of the same thing, but I'm hoping that Luke's old motor is going to find its way under the hood of a Fox bodied 'Stang with an automatic trans for me to race and for Alecia to be able to cruise in. I'm working on obtraining an '86 convertible that currently has the carb'ed 3.8L V6. This will likely be a work in progress for the next year, and I would appreciate it if no one said anything to Alecia about it for the time being (I'll have to keep her away from my PC when I'm on here, I guess).

...That's why I need so much of it, like the wiring harnesses and the EEC, and the whole motor, top to bottom. I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do about a transmission, but perhaps I can get an old C4 to work behind the SC motor. It sounds like it might be hard to get an AOD that's in good working order, and that will take some punishment without breaking the bank.

:D

Greg, let's see how things are going with the rest of the stuff coming off the car, and I can hold off until the end to grab the motor, as long as people don't start taking stuff off of it that I'll need in the meantime.

Cheers,

Sean

[Jason Wild]

Sean,
I think we will need to talk about your plan I have some stuff that might just work for you.;)

[MY90SC]

Ok Everyone,
Let me first say that that I want to be fair in that first come first serve rules do apply.
Whether you have pm'd me, e-mailed me or replied to this thread. Since no rules were set up from the beginning. I will take the blame for that.
There really is only a few conflicts and were all grown ups I'm sure that they can be ironed out:D

Ron Young: the car for the purpose of tearing it to pieces and distributing the parts to the club.(posted 06/11/03 5:23am)
Sean Matteson: Motor and all the crap that goes with it to run including all electrical connections.(posted 06/11/03 7:00am)
Steve Nicholson: Transmission(posted 06/14/03 9:21am)
Bill Mcneil:fat axle shaft(posted 06/11/03 1:25pm) power antenna arc actuators wiper motors and arms(posted 06/13/03 6:24pm)
Keith Clark: bumpers ground effects and drivers door(posted 06/11/03 3:53pm)
Bruce Burns: Rear end pot(e-mailed me at work 06/11/03 12:04pm) Rad(posted 06/14/03 4:02pm)
Greg Coleman: cornering lights(he asked me Sat. at like 1:30am Seats (posted 06/11/03 6:20pm)
Matt Man Both Steering knuckles(posted 06/11/03 8:14pm)
Steve-Fordz Coupe Both Sway bars spare tire cover battery rear calipers horn (posted 06/12/03 10:36 am)
Jason Wild brake master cylinder(posted 06/12/03 5:21pm)and the spare Blower which is in Parts in a box.(pm'd me 06/14/03 9:08am)
Ryan Harris all of the power swithces power mirrors window motors white painted interior pcs plastic gauge bezel cover coil pack auto dimming mirror brakes calipers(front) and rotors (pm 06/12/03 11:50am)
if there are conflicts they need to be worked out without me being involved I would simply say that it should be resolved on a most needy basis so be nice and cooporate.

There are still lots of parts to be had people Either Greg or myself will start another thread for info regarding the teardown date and time.

Everyone who is getting parts be prepared to come and get them off of the car if you need help don't worry there will be lots.
We need to get this done ASAP we are taking up a spot in Gregs driveway and he has to move the car to get at his cat so the car must remain moveable until it is taken to the bone yard.

[SeanMatteson]

Guys,

I think we're setting ourselves up for a real mess here...

Some people are staking their claim via email, while others are posting in this thread, while others still are PM'ing Ron. It's going to be more difficult to keep track of what's still available, and who claimed what when.

In this case, I think one thing above all else needs to be considered: It was originally stated that parts would be allocated on a first come, first served basis. So, if you can prove that your request was submitted before someone else's, then the part should be rightfully yours. It may come down to splitting hairs (minutes or seconds), but if that's the rule, then that's the rule.

To that end, it would probably be a lot easier to keep track of if we all just posted here for the things that we are interested in. The board will keep track of the order in which the requests were submitted.

...It would make things easier for Ron, and help to not put him in an awkward position.

Best regards,

Sean

[Jason Wild]

Sean,
vary well put that we need to go about one way of asking for stuff.

I sent Ron a PM yesterday about the extra blower and latter Steve Nicholson posted about the blower as well and since then he has been given the blower now?

[92strokedbird]

Jason,if you have asked first then take the blower!

[SeanMatteson]

See?

It's just that if we're going to use various methods of submitting requests, then it becomes a nightmare to administer, and I don't think Ron needs the headache.

I don't think that Jason meant to inflame Stephen (although, Stephen's post seems to suggest he's a little agitated over this). This isn't anyone's fault, it's just a matter of how the process is set up.

If Jason can prove that his PM was submitted before Stephen's post, then I think it's only fair that Jason get the spare blower, and I'm sure Stephen would agree. The point though, is that we don't want this situation coming up again, and the easiest way to resolve that is to say that only requests posted on this thread going forward will be considered.

It's not my decision to make, so we need to come to some consensus on this as a group. Does anyone else have a suggestion as to how we can make this work?

Regards,

Sean

[92strokedbird]

Yes if indeed he did ask first then he should get the blower.I had asked for the rad before Bruce and i have asked him about his stock rad because he is also thinking about doing a recore rad.If in fact he has a copper end tank rad on his car now then he could recore the one off of the donor car and when he swaps it out i could have his copper end tank rad for rebuilding myself.I am not agitated,by the way!I dont want any problems with this car and there seems to be some comming up!

[SeanMatteson]

Sorry, Steve. When I saw the exclamation mark, I read too much into it.

I see another problem with the proposed plan for stripping the car down... How are we supposed to remove the front spindles and still keep the car mobile? Even if they are removed the same day that the car gets hauled away, how are they going to load the shell onto a flatbed without gouging Greg's driveway? That was one of the biggest reasons I thought my place would be better suited to this, as I only have a gravel driveway.

I should know about that big project tomorrow, and if it doesn't happen, maybe we should get this thing moved to my place this week. It would be sitting in my garage, so it wouldn't have to move until the day it gets hauled away. We could pull the spindles off in the driveway, and put it back down on the subframe.

...Just a thought.

Cheers,

Sean

Sean,

The spindles would be the least of my concern as far as keeping the car mobile. Ron has spoken for the rims and tires, and I think that would make the car far less mobile.

I think they'll have to put the car onto the street the same day that it is scheduled to be towed, remove the wheels and spindles, and have the truck drag the car off of the road.

I think a tow to Hamilton from Greg's house will get a bit pricey, especially if you want a flatbed again. Now that the car was towed under my membership, it will no longer cover towing the same vehicle from the location it was towed to last, so I can't be of any help I'm affriad.

Just a suggestion....

[Jason Wild]

Thanks Steve I hope there is no hard feelings about this.
we need to start thinking about when we will start to part this out and find out when people will be avalible to offer help.

[Bill McNeil]

Maybe our weekly meet should be at Colemans....

....we can call out our annual "rape a parts car" meet! :rolleyes:

[92strokedbird]

I am working afternoons this week,i am going to try and make it out to the meet on Wednesday.I may have something for people to have a look at,i will update as i get info.I can work on the car on Thursday,we dont want to be tripping over each other though.There are no hard feelings at all over the blower Jason,as i said if you asked first then you should get it first!I just dont want any hard feelings over the parts,this car was donated very kindly and it should not be a source of contention!

[SeanMatteson]

Good point, Bill!

Moving the car again to get it to my place will only be a consideration if I'm not heading out of town, so let's not get too concerned just yet. In the event I will be around, maybe we can borrow Scott's Dad's truck and trailer and do it all for just the cost of fuel.

As long as it can roll out into the driveway at my place, then we're good. It can get dragged up the flatbed from my driveway, since it will only gouge some gravel.

Hopefully I'll know more by the end of the day tomorrow.

Best regards,

Sean

ok did I miss anything else other than the blower pm from Jason which I clearly recieved before Steve N posted his request. Don't worry Steve I have a a spare blower you can have out of the car I parted out laste year. I have editied the list accordingly

[T1Bird]

Steve, the rad in my car is actually Ryans rad out of his 90, i need to get it back to him for his 90, I was just looking for a spare rad to be recored so i could pick the better out of it or this one i have from my car when i got it. The guy at the rad shop told me it was alright to use, sooooo please take the rad, I wasnt aware of your situation,

So Ron edit or make sure Steve gets the rad, I would rather it go to someone who needs it then to me just letting it sit to i find a shop to recore my rad

the damn shop i went to wants 365 to recore the rad

[Jason Wild]

Bruce go see radman they have some good prices. I will ask when I pick my rad up on a price for you.

[T1Bird]

Thanks Jason,

I need a triple re-core, gonna get my rad back from this lousey rad guy this week, 365 for a re-core is tooo pricey for me

[92strokedbird]

I will find out what i can get a rad recored for and let you know as well!

[Jason Wild]

I'm paying about 250 for a triple core this guy know what he is doing he is taking all of the rad apart like the upper inlet and is going to re seal that back up because mine befor had a leak.
The only thing is that Price is because I know him but I'm sure it will not be much more I will find out.
by the way CT want $680 for a new rad they must be on good drugs :p

[Greg Coleman]

I think that if we take everything off the car except the tires wich would include the spindles and rear end at first so it could be pushed around wich means we could start to take the motor and anything under the hood out right away because I think it is going to take more than one day to get the tranny and motor out and then the last few days or weekend here we could stick it on the road curb side for the last week then have a flat bed pic it up,if that sounds good and just sweep up our mess at the end of each raping session:D

[SeanMatteson]

Greg,

It would be tough to keep the front wheels on the car if the spindles are gone. ;)

When I stripped my parts car down, I left it as a rolling chassis until I had it where it could be dragged up onto the flatbed. Then, we pulled the front and rear suspension off the car, and literally picked the car up off the jackstands and placed it on the ground. It's amazing how light these things get when the interior and powertrain are gone! :D

Cheers,

Sean

[Ryan A Harris]

Well I do agree with the 1st come 1st serve. Bill I need only the passenger side mirror assembly, maybe you only need the drivers side?

As for the rest, I think if Ron has any confilcts for parts, the Emails, or PM's will have a time of sent or recieved, so I guess we have to leave it up to him. I hope that no one will flip out over this great deal we have offered to us.

When can I come over to grab what I have asked for?

[Bill McNeil]

Ryan,

That's fine, thanks.

All,

I think the major concern at this point will be the labour involved in pulling the engine and other ajor drivetrain components. If Sean end up going away on business, when will the engine be removed?

[SeanMatteson]

Guys,

I think it's too much to ask for you guys to yank that motor for me in the event I get sent away on business. So, perhaps we should have a backup plan, in so far as someone else who might want to take it, or parts of it in the event I cannot be available to collect it.

Please don't get the wrong idea here... I'm very much interested in getting the motor in its entirety, it's just that life seems to be getting in the way once again.

This would just be a backup plan in case I find out that I will in fact be away on this contract for the next month or two. I should be around most weekends, but I'm sure that sneaking away to collect a spare SC motor would be grounds for divorce! :rolleyes:

Sean

[tbirdsc357]

Not to be a vulture.....but if Sean does not/can't/ends up not taking the motor for whatever reason, I would still like the intercooler and blower.


If not, no big deal.:)


Steve.

[KClarke]

Taking into consideration all that Sean has done for me I'd be willing to help anyone else who feels inclined to pull the motor for him with or without his help.

[tbirdsc357]

Thats very nice of you Keith.......don't I feel like a selfish a$$:p :D

[Jason Wild]

Guys just to let you know I'm not going to be free this weekend till late sunday. I'm free any night this week but wednesday and free agan next week ant night. Thought I would let you know.

[KClarke]

Steve, I'd prolly be thinking the same way if I wanted something off the motor :D Sean has been too good to a lot of us. I'd like a chance to pay him back...

[SeanMatteson]

You know, it's hard to believe how only a few posts back I thought this club was about to come apart at the seams over this parts car.

...Then, I read a post like Keith's. It's stuff like that which reminds me of why I so much enjoy helping this group out!

{...wiping a tear from my cheek.} ...You guys really are {sniff} the best.

;)

Seriously though, I'm really hoping that I'll be around to get this done with you guys, as opposed to anyone having to deal with it in my absence. I didn't get the verdict today, but hopefully I'll know for sure by mid-day tomorrow. I've still got to make arrangements with Steve to get my engine hoist and equalizer to Greg's place, or to my place if we decide to move the car again (if it makes it easier to go hog-wild with pulling stuff off the car, without it having to be driveable).

Anyway, thanks very much for the kind words and wonderful sentiments, guys!

Yours truly,

Sean

[ShawnSC1]

If Sean doesn't take the motor. I would love to take it because the one I have in the cougar now has bad rings and I really can't drive it. Also no hard feelings if Sean takes it because he did have the first dibs. I just wanted to be next in line. In case he cannot get it. Also did anyone clam the fan. Thanks

[SC4LIFE]

WOW! I didn't realize that this would have caused this much confusion and I appologize to Ron as I may have put him in a uneasy position, sorry RON. But I can see that everyone is mature about the whole situation and are making comprimises. Has a tear down date been set yet?

Cheers,
Luke

[Jason Wild]

Sorry I did not say this befor Luke but thats for giving use a car for parts:)

[Greg Coleman]

Sunday between 11 am to 6 pm teardown time:D

[Greg Coleman]

Sean I meant the spindles and tires and rear end to be left til last.A rolling chasey left til the end,any thing else goes first.

I just hope for one thing , if I blow up my blower or my motor I hope some one will sell me the parts I need for the rebuild at a decent price as I'm to busy playing ball to check the computor often enough to be the first one to get first dibs on somthing like this.I finnally have a spare tranny,now I need an engine and a blower as I'm going to overdrive it by 15%:D
