Help, Need Parts!

a friend of mine just told me he'd give me an 87 RS convertible if I'd haul it off, body is in good shape, but engine, trans, and the entire top are missing. I can get the cover, no problem, but I'm needing help locating the entire framework, as all of the metal top was removed, including the motors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i've had no luck in neighboring salvage/junkyards. Thanks!

AWESOME DEAL !! take the car even if you can't find the parts. If you posted this about a month ago I would have offered to sell you everything from my 91. but Ive desided to keep it all.

Your gonna have a hard time finding parts ina junk yard. Id try Ebay or the message board. You should find something in due time. Good luck.

Now its MANDATORY you post some pictures. :0

Hi,

There's a convertible in my local junkyard, the top frame is there but missing one of the bows and the latches. I had the latches off of it, cost me $6 for them. The rest of the top frame was in decent shape. Located in Pasadena, Texas.
