The rubber parts I need are the 4 pieces at the ends of the two bumpers, not the long pieces in your picture. I could see them on the pictures of the car. Do you still have them?

Sorry guys, there was a fire in my working place last Sunday. The last couple of days were bad for me, i had to fill up the unemployement papers, and applying for jobs ain't really my strength... Even with Emploi Quebec programs, it seems like i'm gonna be unemployed for a couple of weeks easily... Anyway, i'm trying to compensate by working more in my own Garage shop, so i can pay all the bills.

Lucky thing is, my RX7 was supposed to be in the shop, on the lift, but when i left for the Derby on friday, i was kind of lazy and told myself that i would bring it in Monday morning, that no one would go steal it if i left it outside the shop. Then i got the call on Sunday from my boss, telling me the shop was on fire. I went there with my brother to see the damage, and was able to leave with my RX7 after having to deal with the stubborn firefighters who didn't wanted me to be on the site. I finally came across one with some common sense, and i convinced him that my car was in their way and that it would be better for me to just move it...

As for the parts, i'll try and get everything ready this week, and send shipping quotes to everyone... My mood is pretty down right now, but playing with the RX7 will probably help with that...

Perfect, i'll get a the center console wrapped in bubble wrap and put a piece of wood in the middle to be sure it doesn't crack in transportation, then i'll get the package to Canada Post to get a shipping quote, should be done by tomorrow or tuesday at worst...

Oh yeah, i forgot about it, i'll include it in the lot. Started packing the stuff, sorry if it's taking me forever, the new job is taking all my time... And since it's from 8 to 5, i can't go to Canada Post to get shipping quotes... I'll just weight everything and mesure once packaged and get online quotes...

DivinDriver your panel is already wrapped, i'm just trying to find a box big enough for it to fit. I've put a wood piece between the inside parts so it doesn't collapse and break during transport

13x you're next, i'll try to get everything wrapped/boxed today!

Sorry guys, some local guy came to see me asking for parts, and he ended up taking the whole car (minus what was already removed) for 1000$

I still got the Center Console, the steering wheel, and all the other goodies i removed before. So for the parts i still have, i'll ship to the respective person that asked them. I know, i'm super slow, i'm sorry about it, with all that happened theses past weeks i barely have time for myself...
