Re: body parts

Wow, looks like the other guy got the worst of it. Thats a bummer about your car though. Nice find on the quarter panel though. You'll get some money out of this for sure. Hope everything goes well.

Re: body parts

sorry to hear about the accident, but metal can be replaced, good to hear you were able to walk away from it

the rear will fit in without any issue, direct drop in. you'll need new ebrake cables and should replace the prop valve with a correct disc/disc one (or change spring as noted in a couple threads in the brake forum). can't remember if the rubber line to the rear is different, possibly. if the gearing is different, you'll need to change the drive/driven gears in the trans if you want to show the correct speed on your gauge.

Re: body parts

POWER WINDOW QUESTION, can anyone tell me if the inside of the doors are universal as far as changing a manual door into a power windows? I need to replace my rusted out drivers door in which the regulator/motor are in good shape and I found a good price on a door with manual windows, but don't know if I would need to buy a converter kit or if my regulator/motor would simply hook right up to it??
Thanks for any help on this issue.
