Hi,

Title says it all... I'm looking for parts to repair the front end damage on my car. I'll buy a whole car, a roller, just the chassis, or just a front clip.

Must have very little to no rust, and no front end accident damage (nothing previously repaired).

Prefer southern California, but will travel for the right car or chassis. Email: steve@914.com.

Thanks for any leads!

-Steve

does it matter if its an early or late car?

Steve, How far back do you need the front clip. I just cut a 73 in half but we removed the windshield frame. I had my guys put it in our dumpster but I could retrieve it. Its not rust free but it looked pretty good and no accidents.

I'll take a closer look at it at lunch if you are interested.

I have a 73 that has a nice front end. The hell hole is absolutly horrible but the front clip has no rust issues or accidents. I am not that close though. I would think someone in SoCal will have something for you. Still it's available if need be

Hi - yes, I am interested... I just need the whole left front fender and headlight bucket and front bumper area... Hmmm... I think I need a picture to describe this.

Free is hard to argue with if its what you need. I'm going by my shop in the a.m. to hook up with Tom T and give him some doors. I'll have my guys see if we can get it back out of the dumpster and take some pics.

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately the top of the drivers fender is flattened on top, as well as the vent/valence in front of the windshield. Front end, drivers wheel well, trunk floor and passenger side fender/well look good.

I didn't have any of my shop guys in today so I couldn't get it out. If you are still interested I can work it on Monday at lunch. You are also more than welcome to come up and see it personally at my shop in Orange during the week.

Thanks for the update, but I think I'll keep looking. I do need the whole drivers side fender, and want to try and do as little body work as possible...

Thanks,
Steve

I would grab the clip if your close. I've seen fenders on craigslist for $50.

Steve,

Not sure if this is going to be a public auction or not for my '71, but here it is after I was rear ended about a month ago...

Rust free car with the exception of the drivers and passenger floor pans seperating just inside the seam as well as a few small spots towards the back of the pans near the firewall....if that even matters to you.

https://www.iaai.com/Vehicles/VehicleDetails.aspx?auctionID=0&itemID=11549313&RowNumber=42

I'm certain the frame is tweaked as the doors wouldn't close right after the accident, but it'd probably be a fine roller if you're interested...

Its located in Yorktown, VA.

Steve,

Front clip is out of the dumpster. I'll take the camera and send you some pics. Again, if you don't see anything you like then no loss. I had to pull the steering rack out of it. You will probably need to find a fender though.

Whatever you want is free as long as you help cut it the way you want it.

Steve, I can take a look at Carquip here in Boulder, do you need inner fender as well, or just outer?

Thanks again for the pictures, but I think I'll keep looking for a car that needs less fender work.

> I can take a look at Carquip here in Boulder, do you need inner fender as well, or just outer?

Yes, please do. Both inner and outer. And the front piece... I'll upload a picture...

The parts I'm looking for:

(or a whole car I can cut this off of)

No Problem Steve. The floor will get cut out tomorrow for a guy in Laguna Beach then. Then back in the dumpster......

Posted by: Ferg Sep 28 2011, 12:44 PM

I will swing by tonight, they had a nice 74 a while back, it may still be in the yard.

Ferg

Didn't forget about you... called carquip and waiting for reply, did not see the car I was thinking of when I swung by.

Posted by: siverson Oct 3 2011, 04:17 PM

Thanks for the help everyone. I found a clip yesterday in Compton and brought it home. I'll update my re-build thread with photos...

-Steve

Posted by: Ferg Oct 4 2011, 04:29 PM

good news! Carquip had one, but still have not seen it... I'm sure with labor to cut and shipping yours is better
