I'm hoping to make it myself, get a chance to meet a few of ya and vice versa. Is this a place I could haul my kids to (6 & 2yr old) or should I come alone?

Looks like it's going to be a warm one! I plan on bringing the black '96 as the Mark VIII is apart and the XR7 is still without AC.

Ick that sucks Doug. It'll be a hot day though so maybe it's not so bad, depending on how good the AC is in your 'Bird.

Good time as always tonight! It's been awhile since I haven't had a MN12 of FN10 at the meet. But in my defense, I went and picked up a set of fox body Thunderbird/Cougar wheels afterwards (IMG:http://www.midwestthundercats.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)

Sorry for not showing up, I really tried. As I was getting ready to head over there my wife called me and said the steering on my '95 cat was stuck. I went up to rescue her and found out the car threw the belt so now I have to get a new belt, buy a cheap set of tools (mine are stuck in storage in houston), and find out why it threw the belt.

Finally picked up the '93 mk8 on saturday though, guy didn't fix the things he said he would when he prolonged delivery a week and ended up being almost 4hrs late meeting up.

All in all, a rough weekend but at least I finally have the mk8 in my posession. Now it's time to start bringing it back from near death. It throws a check washer fluid light at start up (bad sensor I think) and a check air ride system warning after the car has been on a minute or so.

The climate control has about all the buttons missing the center of them so I need to try and find a replacement for that, the clips for the cover of the steering wheel top (by the dash) are broke so it just sits there and the interior in general is just very very dirty.

Does anyone have or know where a mark with gray interior is for parts?

I've got quite a few parts. Drop me an e-mail with what you need and I'll see what I can come up with.
