Best budget online restoration parts?
Can anybody give me any BUDGET places to buy restoration parts online? They don't have to be exclusive, I don't mind shopping at several different places for different items. I'm on a tight budget and I prefer to spend a little time shopping around then to just buy it all at once and at one place just because they have everything. I'm also not against buying used parts as long as they're in OK shape.

I'm restoring a 1990 RS and the following is some of the items I'm needing.

Dash pad and other misc dash parts
Head liner (T Top)
Radiator (3.1 V6)
E brake cable
T top seals
Fenders
Tires 215/65 R 15
All RS emblems
Door hinge pins
Black or grey inner door pulls
Outer door handles
Right rocker ground effect
Door seals
Front and Rear bumper emblems
Door glass
Inner and outer door glass seals
Urethane paint

I'm sure this list will grow substantially as I get further into the project.

Re: Best budget online restoration parts?
Best bet is craigslist. I see lots of parts and people parting out cars. Try local junk yards, I found some good donor cars at them. Others:

parts for sale section on this website
ebay
hawksthirdgen
thirdgenranch
ecklers camaro

These will be a lot more $$ but have any part
classic industries
year one

Outer door handles available at ost any auto parts store in the HELP! section (ie Dorman parts). Hinge pins as well.

Cheapest radiator is going to be local radiator shop.

Take the headliner you have out, paint it with fiberglass resin to strengthen it, and recover it - $50 max fix.

Craigslist, eBay for the rest. Can also check www.car-parts.com - this is nationwide website listing all parts available at most all participating junkyards.
