Doh! boto----et is blocked here at work. Can't look myself until tonight. But, how's the front lower area of the passenger side rear fender? I need a repair panel for my van. And, you're relatively local. Local is good :thumb:

EDIT: I just checked out the pics on my phone. The fender looks OK to me. Care to let me cut some sheet metal off of it?

Actually, the front fenders and hood look good too. Paint looks like it's the same color as mine. And mine are all faded/peeled clearcoat. If you're just going to scrap it, I could swap those parts so you don't lose scrap value. :eyebrows:

I'm sure I could find some other parts to strip off of it, too, for my van. Pass side seat base w/drawer for example. I'd like to have another one for the drivers side on my van.

Those headlights and t-signal housings still look pretty clear. I'd save those if nothing else, someone here would probably really like to have them.

Yeah that's what I thought too.....but I'm not going to use them....

Some other stuff that I'm not going to use:

Rad/fans
Gas tank
Front bumper
Mirrors
Door panels
Anything off of the motor?

There's lots of stuff and I'm not looking to get rich off of the stuff... Just want to help somebody out...

JT,

I'm using the parts to fix another one..... The motor in the thing is something scary... I started it yesterday and it rattled bad...Plus no exhaust... Woke up all the neighbors..LOL.... then when I turned it off.. it bled oil out the side/ bottom? Something broke! ....

The inside reeks of smoke/ feet or something.. ... Not so good....

Hey guys,

Rob has first dibs since he lives down the street... He's looking at buying the whole front clip... I should have an answer next week for sure...

JT,

I'm working on a 85 that I was going to use as a mom and dad hauler..LOL..
I just needed a couple pieces when this one fell in my lap...

All I really want is the fenders and hood, though. So, if you want to sell the grill/headlights/etc. that's cool with me.

I took a second look at your pics, and I think you might be right - The darker red down low might be vinyl. It stops inside the door jambs it looks like. I've seen a red caravan with black vinyl down low like that. And, looking at my van again in the sunlight, I think the brighter red on yours might just be a match. I definitely want to come get them this weekend.

I also realized that after I swap them I can probably use my old LH front fender to make a patch panel for my rusty RH rear fender. :thumb:
