Found this while searching ROW52~

A little too far away for me.
I've been contacting some "Parts Pullers" to at least get a few parts from it, Before it goes... Sigh.

DOHC eh? In all seriousness, definitely a shame. Vent windows, ground effects, fog lights. Looks like it used to have some headlight covers. If it's a 5 speed, I could use the shifter boot trim piece. I have a later one in my car and the grain doesn't match.

I'd love to have the header, lights, bumper cover, and side spats. Not too proud to admit they'd get put right onto my '88 Sport...

What parts did you want?
Rodsterh, I'm very confused by the timeline on this car. Pictures from the 13th of Nov show intact fog lights, no covers, and a grille. The picture you posted shows no grille, headlight covers, and smashed fogs.
Am I missing something?

Def the same car in both pics, same ID # on bumper in both too, but i agree the missing grille, broken fogs etc are kind of strange.....

Er... .
WAS interested in the fog lights/brackets. Whats the point of breaking them???
But mostly interested in the Spoiler and Side Skirts and some Smaller Stuff.
Also interested in the headlight covers. Odd that they aren't in the first pic.
Haven't heard back from any parts pullers. And It's been in the yard almost 2 months, Which is 1 month longer than they tend to keep them (Lynnwood PNP at Least).
400mile round trip is just too far (unless they actually let me buy the WHOLE car ;))
If anyone makes the trip or gets a hold of a parts puller, Please let me know!

No idea, I'm as confused are you are. The picture with the covers came from over on Four Eyed Pride.
Just wish the car was on my coast.

A waste of good fog lights...I guess whoever smashed them doesn't know what they go for on Ebay!

yeah, that's a bit disappointing, I was willing to make the drive for the fog lights. :) I'll have to think about those vent windows though...

Also true.
I seriously dont get it.
I've been looking for a set locally for years now. I've only found broken remains...
Why do people go out of there way to break these?
The surface area on the glass isnt very big, And the lenses are fairly thick, Seems like it might take some effort or tactic to make them shatter like that. Or... Maybe these idiots are just running around with a metal hammer and have nothing better to do. I'm baffled.
Let me know if you decide to make the trip, jrad. No worries if you are after some stuff I'm after.

Well that's cool. Unfortunately, I would need the whole door since I don't have vents from the factory.
By the way...Holy ! He wants $45 for shipping! :hick:

Yeah, I was going to head over there yesterday, but when I checked the pick N pull site it was already gone. Sorry man. Give me a head's up(Email) when you see something down here because I don't really browse for parts right now.

If you watch ebay, sometimes a decent set comes up.
