yeah,you should search Ebay, you might find something just as good but cheeper

 

ok

 

victoria british is usually ok too
if theres no junkyard around

 

what s the site for victoria british

 

if its just cracked leave it, a little patina if fine!

 

you should ask me, i may have it in grey

 

people parting out cars all the time in the For sale section. Interior pieces are most likely given away.

 

duhhh... www.victoriabritish.com (couldnt resist)

but them send you a catalog(free and cool) they dont list everything online (i believe at least they did not use to)

 

You should've bought a domestic is you are bitching about parts prices.

damn straight

 

Haha, yeah.. Most of the new parts on my 7 are actually just as cheap if not cheaper than a lot of the new parts for our oldsmobiles used parts, however, are a lot more abundant here in BFE PA for the Olds...

 

I believe you can restore cracked plastic & fiberglass. I have to teach myself to do this when I'm further along with all my rotary restore projects.

Here's what I'm hoping to "learn to restore" to avoid paying $$$ for new:

- Chipped exterior plastic windshield molding (also re-rubberize them)
- Cracked Convertible side pillar panels (behind door sill scrap guards)
- Rusty/cracked side window molding (the ones right below the power windows) (re-ruberize them too)
- Mounts for the loose plastic instrument cluster surround
- Defrost vents (yeah I just replace them too)
- Logicon surround (aka clock)
- rear convertible panels behind the seats
- convertible trunk panels (one cracks right below the lock)
