Ok so I just bought a Notchback

The car is in pretty decent shape considering the price but there are no deck shocks......Does anyone know where to get them or have a part number for them....

Thanks in advance.

Are they different from the regular hatch shocks? If not, you should be able to get them at any parts store or on eBay.

Same hatch struts. But there is an adaptor at the top to mount it to the notchback hatch. I have pictures of it somewhere. I need to fabricate them for my notchback hatch when I install it.

Re: Ok so I just bought a Notchback

I'm looking for new struts for my original 88 Notchback. Is there any chance to find some? Or do I have to weld up something? Any help would be appreciated
