Last weekend me and some friends took a run through Harry's. We found a beautiful rust free, proper color hood to replace the rusty hood on my '89 3 door coupe. It also had rust free doors, and while there are plenty of rust old wagons, there are very few coupes, and the doors are unique to the coupes. Unfortunately we were in my Leg sedan so there was no way it would fit :cry:

We went back today to grab it while hood and doors were still on sale. On the way to get the coupe stuff I went down one of the new rows and found an uncrunched OBW with a perfect hood :grin: :grin:

It's even the right color to replace the one on my Leg :grin:

So for $88 we got two rust free doors and two rust free hoods :grin: :grin: And none of them require repaint :smile:


I also saw a 97 GT Sedan that was rolled and crunched so hard the tranny bell housing was ripped away from the engine :evil: I don't think there was one straight body panel on the thing but the passenger compartment looked incredibly intact :shock:

did you see any bajas there by any chance?

I have never seen a Baja at Harry's. Generally they have to be 7 years old to make it into the U-Pull yard there. I've seen a couple of 2000+ Legs/OB's there. They are usually either very crashed or partially crashed and missing an entire quarter. Either way, there are almost no usable parts left on them. :evil:

What do you need for the Baja? Have you tried http://www.car-part.com/ ?

We need the hoods from the Turbo models :grin: :grin:

Go to the dealer, they're only $340 MSRP... Oh, and you will need the scoop insert @ $118 MSRP.

It may cost you more, but you will be waiting forever to find a Baja Turbo with good front end at a salvage yard.

Man, looks like I'll have to make another run to Harry's some time very soon (pre-snow fall).
