Deer smashed my 300D

I hit a big deer in my 85 300D and I'm looking for a left front headlight assy. and marker light. Also grill (inner and outer). Any suggestions?

Thanks as always.

Jerry

salvage yard's your cheepest bet. There are more than a few in NC. I know one here near Rocky Mount has a couple of w123's.
Let me know if you can't locate any.

Sorry about your accident but it sounds more like you smashed a deer with your 300D.

Man, people on this forum have hit more deer in the last 6 months than I saw all of last season. Maybe I should start hunting with my CD...

Sorry for your accident...hope no one was

hurt.

People should be aware that generally you will encounter more than one deer at a time, even if you only see one. Dawn and dusk are the worst times for encountering deer on the road, but they are nocturnal animals, and I've seen them on the road up until 11 PM.

I've been dodging the poor SOB's for years around NC, there's a flock of about a dozen living on the farm here. Almost hit one on the darn PATH the other night. I've been very lucky..
