Great, yeah if you can just pull basically everything for the headliner for me that would be great. Like those caps that cover the hatch bolts, bows, the little clips that hold it under the hatch seal(they sometimes get pulled out with the seal), and whatever else is up there. Even the vinyl for the c-pillars and b pillars would be nice if you can.

Also are the phone dials on the gray car white?

It would have to be, just looking at the hole in the shift lever area, the damage to the the steering column mount, and as pointed out, the driver side door gap.

Looks like a hell of an impact.

Yeah Colin, the PD's are white and look well done from what I saw today. It was nice to meet you Josh, Aribop and Campeck. I am still dissapointed your dad would not let you drive the roadster!! I wanted a ride!!

I might be interested in the phone dials also, maybe Josh can chime in on them.

Hey Josh, if either of those cars has Koni yellow rear shocks and you plan on parting them, Ill buy them. Good luck with the part out! I can never find crashed turbo's down here! Just old crappy N/A's that have sat in a field for 15 years. ^_^

Hey - I am parting both cars. Have the black one all apart already. It had the M474 konis on the front and yellow Bilsteins on the rear. Here is a link to the details with pics.

Yep - don't know if you got a chance to read post #53 but apparently the girlfriend of this kid got away with a broken pelvis and concussion. It was an HHR that hit them and that lady had a broken arm from the airbag.
