Hey gang! A friend of mine got his hands on a wrecked 1988 Turbo Coupe with some really nice parts left. He asked me the other day if I knew some folks that might be interested in some of those parts. I told him, "yeah, I think I do." So I stopped by his shop over the weekend and snapped some pictures. He did mention that the engine, the turbo, and transmission are all sold. I myself grabbed the scoops in the hood. Other than that, everything is up for grabs.
You should be able to tell in the photos that the interior is in rather nice shape and has a lot of good parts left. The wheels aren't bad either. However, the front passenger side wheel might be bent from the accident.
If you don't mind, please ask your questions about the car right here in this thread so everyone will know what's avaliable and know who might get what.
Here are the pictures:

I'd like:
Battery hold-down bolt & bracket
Tilt wheel
Those are small enough items, I could ship rather easy. When I start to accumulate and write the list of items everyone wants, I'll stop by the shop to make sure these items are still on the car... By the way, I accept PayPal...
how is the center dash trim? the part that goes arounf the radio an stuff
If my memory serves me, it looked fine.... it was removed for the radio before it ended up in the junk yard... that will be another item I will look at when I stop by the shop... Would you want the part that goes around the speedo as well??
No I have that one and its in ok shape. Hows the console lid? and the switch plate? If you could see if you could pull the fabric insert on the door panels i would like that along with the pull strap clips.
possibly the headrest covers and seat belt holders that screw on the seats and fog light brackets
and if you can get it off, all the side moldign trim
What condition is the pass side rocker in?
Derik, I'd like to put my reserve on the map pockets. Thanks ;)
darn dan beat me to it but how much for the door panels without the pockets
I'm heading to his shop later in the afternoon to check on your list of items and make sure those parts are still there. While I'm there, I'll take pictures of those items as well so you can get a closer look at 'em.
I was sort of thinking that we should sell the door panels as a complete set at this time. Both of the panels are intact and are in really nice shape. I would really hate to start selling parts off of them yet. Being someone who had to buy one piece at a time to make one set of door panels, I know how annoying things get when you try to find 'em. I would have given my right arm for these at one time.
Too bad the front end is all funked up. If I didnt need a front end right now I'd be all over that driver door.
I got seconds on the console lid if its good and Cougar86_89 passes.
Here are some pictures of the items you guys requested:
Fog light brackets

If you guys decide you want these parts, let me know. I'll be heading over to the shop on Saturday to take 'em off.
A closer look at the door panels (these things are in awesome shape. I wish I could have found these a couple of years ago when I was working on my interior)

Intrument cluster (kinda sad to see a Turbo Coupe with such low miles wrecked like this)

Sun visors (by the way, the head liner is almost perfect)

Parts that aren't avaliable:
1. The battery hold-down and bolt are missing
2. The passenger side rocker is twisted from the wreck
3. There is not one single peice of molding trim that's worth taking off
I spoke with my buddy and he agrees, the seats and door panels should be sold in once peice, especially since they're in such nice shape. I would really hate to take 'em apart. I'll check back tomorrow to see who wants what and then we'll talk prices. Thanks!
How about the steering wheel? that looked pretty good.
second dibs on the steering wheel mine is pretty bed
Hey, Derik how much do you want for those seat belt latches? And no need to ship I can come over to pick them up myself. Thanks friend !! :)
I was wondering when someone was going to want the steering wheel.. it's in great shape!

DW
I deleted my pm's.Send me payment info for the driver 1/4 window again.Thanks !!!!
Derick I'll want those door panels but it will be next Friday. They delayed the draw checks at work to get the pay system back on schedule. I can't stand the regular door panels.
I can hold 'em for ya. :)
DO you still have the door turbo moulding? and how about the door switch's for the drivers side?
do you mean the Turbo Coupe emblems?? if so, yes...
I have started a couple of auctions for some parts on Ebay. I'll be adding more soon.
Here are the links that I have started so far:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110250854998&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=001 (http://"http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110250854998&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=001")

By the way, I had received a lot of e-mails from some of you asking me to hold parts. But because there were so many, I can't remember what I'm holding for you. I have no problem holding these parts, I just don't want to accidently sell them. Please let me know. Thank you.
PM sent about the 1/4 window I just received from you.......
PM's sent.
