[T3] Automatic tranny (Good news!)

["Greg Mielke" <greg_mielke@hotmail.com>]

Hey all,
    I finally have some good news about my Auto Tranny. I had only found one 
T3 at the wrecker today and I was getting discouraged, as it has already 
been stripped. Then I started to look in the stacks of cars that had already 
been crushed, and at the bottom of a fresh stack was a '73 Variant with an 
Auto Tranny! It hadn't been crushed, just had other cars on top of it. Sad 
really, it wasn't even in that bad of shape.
    The loader operator was kind enough to come over and pull the remains of 
the car out for me. So I opened the Tranny up and got my Valve Body/Governor 
set that I've needed so badly! Now I've just got to re-assemble My Tranny 
w/new clutches and seals and I'm good to go!
    But on the other side of the City (Edmonton, Alberta) I stopped at 
another wrecker and came across a '72 Variant. This car had a NEW Windshield 
in it! So I cut the window out, The rubber was to ratty to save. The Valve 
body and other misc. parts cost me $25, and the Windshield was $29.95! Thats 
gotta be like $30 U.S. for all that!
     Guess it was just a good day for T3's.

On another note, that '72 Variant Windshield will fit into my '73 Fasty, 
right?

Thanks for all the previous advice everybody, much appreciated.
