    Barndominium TN, NC, SC?

    Wow those are some great areas! I’m really liking what I’m seeing and the cost of land is very low. Very rural as you’ve said but I’m open to having 250+ acres actually in my price range! I’m also liking everything north of Raleigh. Wake Forest looks wry nice as well.

    I like what I see so far! I need to get out there soon and poke around. How’s the Knoxville area? Where do you pan on moving?

    Barndominium TN, NC, SC?

    I’ve been in AZ for a little over a decade now and after the influx of Californians and a record breaking summer I’m ready to move. I want to look at properties in the Knoxville Tennessee area and my wife wants to check out the outskirts of Nashville. I’m also interested in other eastern areas...

    Terrible neighbor kid (rental house) terrorizing neighborhood.

    **** UPDATE **** I called the PD and had an officer call me back, he was very understanding of my situation and knew everything there was to know about the kid. The kid has been arrested multiple times, as well as probation/house arrest. Mother is worthless in the cops opinion. Was...

    Terrible neighbor kid (rental house) terrorizing neighborhood.

    I asked a realtor friend for home owner info but she said couldn’t (or wouldn’t) give it to me because she can’t access it. I’m going to contact the county appraiser and or public records dept.

    Terrible neighbor kid (rental house) terrorizing neighborhood.

    We have a rental house on our street that has always had good, quiet renters. July of 22 a family moved in, a mother and 3-4 kids, the youngest (15ish) roams the neighborhood with his “gang” of friends. All of who are suspected of vandalizing the local park with graffiti, catching garbage cans...

    Thank you! It’s a micro step process. Have a MCL sprain, it’s healing but now I’m getting pain in my patella so I’m getting it checked out next week.

    It’s been slow going ( as usual ) but even slower as I’ve suffered a knee minor injury. Got the transmission pulled. Installed pilot bearing. Replaced rear main seal. Went to install clutch and realized I didn’t have the pressure plate dowels so I had to order a set. I purchased a...

    Got it up in the wheel cribs, now I just gotta get that auto out and shove the t5 and see what happens.

    Just bought a rare set of wheels…

    I have three center caps and a guy in our machine shop is making me a 4th. Hell I might just see how good they clean up because they look about 98% perfect. Just dirty as hell.

    Just bought a rare set of wheels…

    That’s the big question, I asked on a saleen page and a guy said anything less than $6k is a great deal

    Just bought a rare set of wheels…

    The wheels are AKT/Logic 17x9’s and are possibly the rarest style of foxbody saleen wheels as they were only used on the very early production 93 saleen “sc”. 10 sets were imported from Japan by Hal Baer back in the early 90s, this is one of those 10 sets I’ve been trying to buy these wheels...

    My new ride

    Thanks! I’ll most likely pull the bumpers peel the wrap and paint this winter, so yes I’ll do the mirrors and door handles at that time.

    My new ride

    Wrapped the front bumper, still gotta do the rear. With the effort put into wrapping I probably should have just painted but I had the vinyl so I guess it’ll do for now.

    Also moving forward with the manual swap, just going to toss in the 4Cyl t5 that came with the purchase of the car. The previous owner also had the pedal assembly for a 87-88 tc so that’s away a huge plus. I have everything I need for the swap besides the driveshaft (I plan on picking on up...

    New project - 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

    Added some gauged and eliminated the Radio equalizer and hvac controls. Will be adding an electric ac compressor in the trunk and a condenser in the void where the gas tank was. Also have a wide band a/f and mounting bracket to replace the clock on the dash.
