Post a picture you took today

Just a bit tacky that they couldn't be bothered to print the label in the right size.

Yesterday and Monday. Had a "buy my old shit" sale. Sadly, not much of this was sold. Most of what wasn't sold was taken to a thrift shop to donate. The rest is currently on my driveway with a big ol' "FREE" sign. What doesn't get picked up by trash day is going in the trash.

I'll take the free Thunderbird!

One of these things were airbag warning labels applied  over existing warning labels.

I need to go look at mine!

Good on you for actually taking it to good will, or wherever. My wife recycle that shit thru different totes. Like I can't count dozens of totes in my work room

Nope, don't have them on either visor.

Here's what's left of mine. I ordered my bird on like 15 April 1997 and took delivery on 30 May 1997.

Yours already came with the new sticker. The orange is the old one.

Government…

It’s a wonder they didn’t strongarm manufacturers to stick them right onto the airbags

I mean holy shit! I haven’t seen a car with trunk lid edge rust like that since 70s cars! Ford was really thorough with the retro vibes in this generation! SN95/new edges never rust this bad, such poseurs!

I didn't know that Ford went back to using steel for the trunk lids on the '05+. Did the hoods go back to steel, too?

I think the hoods were aluminum on S197s, I remember there being recalls for paint adhesion because of it. Trunk lid I’m with you, until I saw another one last year similarly rotted I thought they were fiberglass like the SN95s

Yeah, it's all gone now. I'm happy to purge extra stuff. Personally, I'd rather just chuck it to get it out sooner. But Goodwill (or similar) is good too.

My garage is a bit more open now, minus the dining table. This one is our old one as we just acquired a new one. As soon as this is gone, the T-Bird is going in the garage and I'll be able to start working on it.

Top: what it's like now. Might look just as bad as before, but there's much more space to move things around more freely.
