your wood pieces are from the center console roll box lid- dunno if they're worth anything apart like that.

Yeah, my wife told me it was Burlwood. As I read Charlie's needs --- this is his #5.

And I know where is #6 is ......and MAYBE part of #1 --- the end piece; although I think it was broken.

Now having changed it out, yes the bumper itself was aluminum. The rust I saw was from the bracket. The aluminum was corroded from salt and the bolts from the bracket pulled out of the corroded aluminum.

BTW, I saved the rubber molding from the 77's bumper. It's a different mounting style and won't mate to the 83 bumper that I put on the 77. If anybody wants it, it's free if you pick it up in person. You pay shipping if you want it shipped. PM me if interested.

If that is dark Cherry looking burlwood it is the right color. the piece that surrounds the right vent is in an inverted U shapr more or less with flat top and sides. It is approx 5" long.
If you have the roll top pieces, I do need them. The Shifter surround in my car is perfect, but the front mount(wood) broke off, but it is here I think I can fix the surround.

The visor clips need to be that mushroom color Jim stated, (not palomino) light tan or beige looking.

PM me with a price for the roll top wood pieces and that vent surround if you have it.

The oil caps come off during inprocessing. It helps the oil drain out faster, and we have to drain crankcases, radiators, fuel tanks, etc. You can thank the EPA. It's customers who leave the hoods open.

I don't know if my Burlwood is cherry, but it is dark reddish color and I do know that there is a very light tannish burlwood also. I need the dark reddish stuff.

most of the ones I come across still have oil and coolant in them, some even batteries and fuel.

I have the vac adjusting switch. I may be able to get the light switch, it has the bulb socket and a bulb still in the center of it. I thought it had the euro headlights, but the purple lines had screws in them. I looked on the lights, but didn't see where the vac lines hooked up. Anyone got any pics of that? I pulled all of the purple vac lines off, but didn't throw them in the toolbox. Would you need the vac reservoir under the driver fender also?

Johnhef · #23 03-25-2008, 09:57 PM

do wha?

no reservoir needed. ma friend of mine wrote up a diagram a few years ago on here for how to connect vac lines when installing euro lights with the switch on a US car, search a bit for it, not sure what it was posted under.

Charlie.

Found the right end piece --- it is "nicked". I'll send you all the wood from the car that I can. You might be able to trade someone the left end for a perfect right end. Reasonable Price --- details in PM.

Does anyone have a left side window regulator that would fit a 1988 420 SEL????
