Post SAD SIGHT........NEED A QUARTER?

Just got thru stripping this '83na down to a shell........looks kinda sad don't it? Well, I'm trying to find a salvager to come haul off whats left of it and thought if anyone (preferable locally) might possible want a quarter panel off of this, let me know right away and if it works out ok, I'll torch one off for ya!! Drivers side is perfect shape, other side needs slight skin repair. I live in Granite Falls, just northeast of Seattle, WA if your interested! It will be gone within a week or so. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Ken, does that panel between the brake light come out????

I have the cheap "light panel" between my brake lights, and I'll be removing it and doing a paint job, and I'll have 4 holes I need to cover up...

Also, I'm in Vancouver and willing to drive!

Everything comes out, but that is not a bolt out piece, you can weld up the holes and make it look good for where the P/O drilled out the pannel...

Yea, its no easy task replacing that panel. You'd be better off welding up/filling your existing holes instead of replacement. Way to many spotwelds! Besides, this particular panel has the same holes in it for the center light bar. I aggree with Ian!

I accquired car with a broken timing belt in it at 172k miles. PO did'nt care for this car very well, I wanted the 16" fuchs off it along with a few other parts. The nose panel from this car is in very good shape. This early model car, the panel was spotwelded on. I removed using a 5/16 spotweld cutter, so it will have these holes in the panel mount rim. If yours is a welded on panel, it would be a good replacement panel for ya! Still interested, make me an offer. Most other parts off of this car will be put up for sale later when I can get them organized a little better. Later!
