Looking to rebuild my wrecked 2.8

I have an 87 2.8L Camaro Sport Coupe that I wrecked a few years back and have been driving it with very rudimentary repairs, just enough to not look like crap. Anyways what I'm lookin' for is some plastic pieces up front like the air intake box that holds the filters and the all the fan shroud pieces, I've replaced the the condenser and have new body panels lined up, but the plastic pieces are getting hard to come by and all the restoration places I've looked at like to skip 3rd gen parts. Also if anybody has a full ground effects kit off of a Z-28 or RS that's reasonably priced I might be interested. I'm located in Orrville, Ohio and am willing to travel to pick up and even take off parts if need be. Anywhere in Ohio West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania is close enough for me.
Thanks for the help! Maybe ill have my car back one of these days...

Re: Looking to rebuild my wrecked 2.8

i have an 85 t-top sport coupe with a blown 2.8 and bad tranny if you want to take a look at it, i have a new rebuit tranny that would go with it (not in the car yet) lots of good body parts and black interior panels. was going to fix up for my son but we found a 90 rs with a 305 in it and bought it. paid $700 for the car and another $150 for the trans but would let you have everything for $450 and it has a clear pa. title. let me know i'm located just outside greenville pa.

Re: Looking to rebuild my wrecked 2.8

The reason im rebuilding my car rather that just buying a new one is cuz its kinda a sentimental car for me. Otherwise i coulda bought a nice car for what im droppin into this one. How much would you like for the ground effects (rocker panels, nose and bumper covers) or is the car all or nothing?

Re: Looking to rebuild my wrecked 2.8

I just got word from my body shop that they couldn't get some of the metal from the front end that i wanted. I'm pretty much going to need a whole parts car. I haven't gone to see jeeper's car yet but it sounds like what im going to need. Thanks for the offer though.
