have a dual fuel pump setup 2

not speaking for jim- but it depends what you want in the rebuild, he does everythging from stock to wild, so its more a matter of where your plan is for the car then he can help you with narrowing down a price. but rebuilds all range around the same, and it depends whats still good in your motor 2.

I'm no professional but I wouldn't mind helping you out with your car if I can. I've owned an auto FD since 2003 and also live in the DC area.

PM me your approximate location and availability if you want.

There are aluminum outer handles available that are well priced. I forget where but a search on here should turn something up since they are a common break point. The stock ones are ridiculously priced new for something that is just going to break again. Mine broke and I just epoxied it back together, I'd do this if you still have all the parts.

If you want a used one PM Fritz Flynn. He lives not to far down in Va near Charlottesville. He has a large inventory of FD parts and usually has the odds and ends available. You can check on a light cover with him too but those are pretty affordable to just buy new from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda in Woodbridge Va. I think $80-$100 will get you a new one.

I had a headlight cover fly off on me once too. Mine is black so it was easy to paint match. But it looks pretty good even with just using a rattle can. If you get the right color paint and are meticulous about it you should be able to prep and paint it up nice yourself.
