-
Planning on it.
-
Free Lunch!? I'll be there.
-
Sounds great to me, but I'll probably miss it. I'm going back to rehab again, but this time in Athens, TN.
-
If anyone has a problem with charcoal, we can make the burgers on the stove.
We don't have a gas grill.
-
Shouldn't be a problem as long as we can tell the difference between the charcoal and the burgers. LOL
-
The only problem I have with charcoal is that it takes me forever to get it started. :p
-
Starting Charcoal Is Never A Problem.
-
It's much easier if you use 93 octane instead of 87 octane.
-
I Thought I Would Use Moon Shine.
-
DONT WASTE GOOD MOONSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
DONT WASTE GOOD MOONSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts, exactly.
It's okay if it's the rotgut stuff.
-
Besides, that's alcohol abuse!
Just raise some hell and use the brimstone as a starter.
-
Don't Forget To Bring Your Own Drinks.
-
I'll be there.
-
Bring folding chairs, so you have a place to sit when you eat.
-
Still working on the car so I cannot make it over this weekend :(.
-
Still planning on being there. Need to leave by ~5:00 PM.
-
I will not be able to make it.

-
is it ok if we bring stuff that we don`t want to donate to the PARTS BARN to be sold for the clubs benefit?
-
Sounds good to me.
-
thanks linda and pat for your hospitally, the food was great. just wish we could have gotten the job done complete.
-
Yes... thanks very much for your hospitality.
I think that I have pictures of most everything. I'll post them up tomorrow.
-
There was just too much there to catalog even without the onset of rain. Thanks for taking pics, Steve. It will at least give a general idea of what's available.
Glad Bob and Harold came out to help. Always good to meet new Fiero people. Pat and Linda, thanks for handling procurement and preparation of the food. Not much left over speaks volumes for the chefs. There probably would have been none if everyone hadn't gotten filled.
Because we were all squatting, kneeling or sitting in the grass at one time or other, check yourself for tiny, tiny seed ticks. I've already found 2 3 on me. Didn't know it until I had a persistent itch.
-
A Big Thank You To Every One Who Came Yesterday.
Pat And I Had Fun And We Are Glad Most Of The Food Was Eaten.

My apologies for the picture overload.
Pat... If the large number of pics is going to break anything, please let me know, and I'll break them up into multiple posts.
-
The Pictures Are Awesome !!!
Thank You So Much For Taking And Posting Them.
-
You're very welcome. I may go back and edit the post with descriptions.
There are lots of things that the camera didn't pick up. There was a good sized box full of dash switches. Trunk poppers, headlights, etc., as well as at least a dozen relays. AC/Fuel pump relays, and 84-86 headlight relays. Couldn't really identify all of them. There were at least two plastic battery "shields". I meant to grab one for Scott B, and forgot.
-

-
The gas tank was code dated for a 1988. It also appeared to be the later style.
The instrument pods were all 4 cylinder units, with the exception of the middle one. It's for an 85 GT. (Has the V6 graphics, but the oil pressure gauge in the tach.)
The ECMs were mostly 7170s. Standard issue for the 86-88 V6.
I'll have to look up the associated broadcast codes to figure out which trans they are set up for. (I'll find and post those codes, later.)
At least two of the ECMs were 6869s. Those are from the 85 V6 cars. They were fairly sought after, because the hardware supports the addition of a knock sensor.
If the appropriate PROM chip is left in place, the 85, and the 86-88 ECMs are interchangeable.
-
Pat is going to inventory them. Most if not all had their year, engine and transmission combo written on them.
-
I have gone through the box of ECM's. Most were marked as to what car they go to. Here's the talley:
1 84 4-speed
2 85-86 2.5 auto
3 85 V6 auto
1 85 V6 4-speed
1 86 V6 4-speed
1 87 V6 5-speed
1 87 V6 auto
1 88 V6 trans unknown, marked Formula
4 with part number 1227170 (same part number as the 86-88 V6 models)
1 marked "no good"
1 with no markings.
-
Pat,
The PROM broadcast code is frequently printed on the labels on the outside of the ECM.
They are usually described by a 3 or 4 character alpha code.
Here is a table that contains all of the Fiero broadcast codes.
http://www.exatorq.com/ludis_obd1/fieroprom.html
This may clear up any "mystery" ECMs you have.

I think I'll need the front bumperpad fascia and grill if it's not spoken for yet. I have an unpainted gt front fascia to trade for it that can go into the kitty.
Ron
-
I also may need an ignition tumbler and key. Does anyone remember seeing one in the barn?
-
I thought I had seen a column with one in the building, but I don't see it in the pictures. It might have been one of Pat's columns.

-
I seem to recall seeing one with keys.
Goodness knows in what box it rests.
You are probably better off with a new one though. They aren't that expensive.
-
I'll get a new key tumbler, but I still need the bumperpad front fascia. I see it in the pics, but it didn't get listed. Did it get grabbed already?
-
Can someone bring a switch that would be appropriate for fog lights?
The switch will be located where the defroster switch would go.
Thanks.
-
What happened to all these parts?
-
The 84 Fascia is still there, I believe. Most of the parts are there. Only a few have taken advantage of the membership. There's so much there that it's impossible to do a reasonable inventory and to keep up with what has been taken or sold.
Tshark, the parts are stored in TopNotch's utility building.
-
Are any of the intake hoses in good condition? Mine is lacklustre. I tried to clean it up, but the shine faded after a week or so.
-
Weathertech has some products for spraying on their automotive floor mats. I used to work for a chemical company and we made a janitorial product for rubber mat dressing. It worked very well on tires because it was water based and wouldn't harm tires. Most of the tire dressings and cleaners of today have acids that destroy the rubber in a short period of time. I used Westley's Bleech-White, Castrol Super Clean and Purple Power on my tires and engine to degrease and shine. I had to replace tires that had weather cracked before the tread wore out, and my engine hoses were rotting. I discovered this when I was recharging my K&N filter and my hands turned black from handling the intake hose. Then I foiund other small rubberf hoses had rotted.
I soon found out that it was the acids in them. Hydroflouric Acid. ArmorAll has a lot of alcohol, as well as many other brands of products that make car things shine. DuraGloss makes a lot of eco-friendly products. Zep or Selig Chemical companies may have a janitorial product, or Puritan. These companies are major school suppliers so they have to be much safer than automotive products. Less volatile chemicals in them.
-
So, which to use? Puritan? Purple Power?
I tried rubber rejuvenator, because my hose was bad. Yes, it left lots of black on my hands beforehand. The rejuvenator made the rubber soft again. No more black. It stinks. Instructions say to soak for 48 hours.
-
Don't use Purple Power on automotive rubber. Try a search for a Weathertech product first.
-
I forgot about a cleaner I've been using for about 6 months. I picked it up because it didn't have any of the common tire cleaner acids, like hydriofluoric acid or any phosphorous. It's probably the only ArmorAll product I will ever recommend.
It's ArmorAll Extreme Wheel and Tire Cleaner. It goes on as a foam and does a very decent job of cleaning my tires and engine parts. I've not noticed any indication of it drying out my tires or any of the hoses in the engine bay.
It's hard to find, but I used to get a product at AutoZone to spray in the engine bay after it was cleaned. You can spray it on everything. It leaves a good seal on all rubber products. It's called CD-2 Engine Detailer. You may only be able to find it on Amazon or Ebay.

My car desperately needs the drivers side seat bottom replaced. Is there one available in the parts barn?
-
I have the seats from Ray's car. Cover may be torn but i think the base is ok.

Hey Ron, I cant find that part number in the book. What page is it on?

How much sir?

Did I hear you say you'll work for Fiero parts?

You must be coming down with old timers disease...... i think your hearing things
-
Does anyone know if the parts barn (or a member) has...
- headlight control module
- front wiring harness
- two headlight motors
My Testarossa replica has fixed headlights... "fixed" as in "non-moving", not fixed as in "functional" or "improved". Each side has two rectangular sealed beams, glued into position... Barn door effect blocks a lot of the light, plus they are not aimed correctly and there is no adjustment...aside from cutting the silicone, moving them, and gluing them again. :) lol
Anyway, I found two headlight mechanism / hinges assemblies. If I can find the other parts, I plan to remove the current headlights.
Charlie / Fierofool looked at the car and said the module was missing, and that I might want to try finding a new front harness.
He suggested I ask on here.
-
I'm pretty sure we don't have any modules. Here's one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-2002-Firebird-Trans-Am-OEM-Headlight-Headlamp-Control-Module-Used-/381931768262?hash=item58ece849c6:g:t8cAAOSw1DtXK5x~&vxp=mtr) on Ebay, and I don't think you're going to find a lower price (others on Ebay are $125 and up).
-
I have a complete gen 2 setup or gen 1 that I'll sell you. Harness, module, motors. Used, of course.

Interesting! That's a good price. I sent a PM to f85gtron. If that falls through, I may look at the one on eBay. Thank you for the link! :)
-
Planning to buy Ron's at the meeting on Saturday.
-
I may be calling dibs on some of the body parts...... my little mind was left to wander on its own and is hatching a new plan
-
Rut roh!
-
Will need to locate a new roof panel (with sunroof cutout) and areo nose also
-
One at buford PaP had a sun roof.
-
The 86 V6 at PAP would be an SE, so it will have the aero nose, too. Anyone going, Drewbdo might be able to use the dash pod. If he doesn't take it, I will. I don't know if I can get there this week. Things are kind of busy for us.
-
Don't forget to take a long slender putty knife or windshield removal wire to get the front of the top removed without cracking it at the middle of the door. Don't ask how I know this. :P
-
How do you know that Roger? ;)
-
Are there more than 2 design's of the nose, GT and Normal (se) Niether had a GT At PaP.
-
I believe there was the bumperpad (84 style), the areo style (GT), and the formula style. Areo nose was on the 84 indy, 85-88 GTs, and 86 SE.... was there an 87 SE?
-
Yes. The 87SE was identical to the 86SE.
-
Scott, i have an aero nose if you need one. Not sure if it's the pre lights in funny places, or post lights in funny places. I noticed that a bra from an 86 aero won't fit perfectly on an 85 aero. Weird, huh? My brilliant deduction sais they're different somehow.
-
Strange. I used one from my first 85GT on my 87Gt when I bought it. It was a LeBra that I got from TFS.
-
Are the lights in different spots because of the ribbed vs smooth belt trim? That's the only difference, right?
-
Thanks Ron....... I was under the impression that all of the areo noses were the same, only difference being the little molding piece forward of the marker light. That piece is easily changed when the nose is off of the car.
-
The aero noses...
The ones with smooth trim, the trim between the wheel well and the marker light is part of the light.
The ones with grooved trim, the trim between the wheel well and the marker light is molded into the bumper.
The only smooth trim aero noses were on Fastback GT cars.
If it was an aero nose from a notchback car, it got the grooved trim. (84 Indy. 85 GT. 86-87 SE.)
From your Department of Redundancy Department.
-
Hmmm. It's a primed body part from who knows where. I guess I'll take pics of that area to make sure Scott can use it. Scott, told you you're gonna need to bring a trailer!
Btw, it's part of the parts barn cache. I traded the barn it for an 84 bu'tugly nose to keep it "real", homey.
-
I found some of the original pictures posted of the car, in Ron's original thread.
It looks like it has the correct (grooved) molding, behind the marker light.
-
Ahhhhh..... i forgot about the trim piece molded in to the plastic...... oops, thanks for the information
-
Scott,
The one i have here is ribbed.
-
What does one need to do to acquire parts from the barn? Or put another way... wat I gotta do to get me sum of dem fiero pahhrts.
I need a intake snorkel and a washer bottle and cap.
Blessings to the Fiero Gods
-
As A Paid Member All You Gotta Do Is Come And Get Them
-
I do not know what is left in the parts barn, but maybe there should be a discussion about handling what is in there. Sooner or later, those parts will have to be carted away. If the planning/removal starts in a timely fashion, the parts may be able to be sold, as opposed to disposed of.
-
Is something happening with the parts barn?
-
I want a parts barn!!!
-
Is something happening with the parts barn?
TopNotch says that in the not too distant future he will be retiring, selling his house and moving to Texas. The parts barn is located at his house.
-
I want a parts barn!!!
You and me both!
We could have it either in France or Belgium...that would be about equal distance, no?
;D
\D
-
Friends in Belgie Donster so I am right up for that!!!!
All we need now is the barn and the parts!
I am already $200+ in a hole to get 1 harmonic balancer and still not there yet!!!! $40+ hole for one rancid cork gasket of dubious design and still not there yet .... That's already the fuel and crossing costs to our Belgie barn!! :0)
-
The cost to ship the parts over there might be prohibitive. Does anybody have a large boat? ;)
-
You don't happen to have a spare wing with stands in the parts barn, do you?
-
The Pinta and Santa Maria come by occasionally. The Niña only came once.
-
Paul, I have a wing but it only has 1 stand and I think that one's broken.
-
Paul, I have a wing but it only has 1 stand and I think that one's broken.
Bummer. I already have a wing with one stand... ;)
-
You should be able to get a leg for the other side at the prothetics department.
-
I bought a Democrat Wing Stand (left wing stand) from Tha Driver a year or so ago. I think the right side stand was still good. He may still have it.

It seems that the cost to send things from here to there is much greater than the cost to send things from there to here. You talk about all those duties and things. I have never had to deal with that. It seems that these things basically preclude people there from buying from the US.
-
Do you need a wing or a stand, or both?
-
I need a replacement driver's side stand.

My apologies for the picture overload.
Pat... If the large number of pics is going to break anything, please let me know, and I'll break them up into multiple posts.
I saw a picture of two parts I could use from the parts barn for an 88 (Beechwood). The speaker covers in the above pic (obviously one left, one right). :-)
\D
-
Yeah. How about those trim pieces? I could use one that goes around the e-brake.
-
OK, so whom do I have to ask about getting parts from the parts barn?
Of course I'll pay for the shipping and whatever other costs.
I also need a left and right power door lock switch and a gas pedal rubber.

\D
-
The Barn is at Pat's house. He is VP and MikeMac is President.
Power door lock switches can be had from Rock Auto. Listed under Electrical-Switch and Relay. ACI or Standard Brands. I've never seen a gas pedal cover listed anywhere unless it was a clamp on custom metal type.
-
I've never seen a gas pedal cover listed anywhere unless it was a clamp on custom metal type.
That is why I was hoping there might be a used one at the parts barn, but never mind, obviously too much of a hassle getting something from there.
-
I just reread your posting.
Unlike the clutch and brake pedals, the gas pedal does not use a rubber cover. Or a cover of any kind. It's just a molded plastic pedal that is held to the throttle lever by a pin and spring. I'd bet that many GM gas pedals are similar.
-
I would bet that Tha Driver has several at his place.
I would go down to the parts barn and get the pieces you need, but I am down in my back again and can't drive.
-
Ebay has several.
-
Are the parts in the barn organized? For example, if you are looking for a part, can you just grab that part, or is it a lengthy thing to search for the part and move things out of the way?
-
Some things are grouped together, but there are boxes of mixed items.
-
I would go down to the parts barn and get the pieces you need, but I am down in my back again and can't drive.
Charlie, while I appreciate that, I wouldn't want to trouble you, certainly not when you are having problems with your back.
I can find what I need elsewhere.
Thnx.
-
Contact Pat and see if you can make arrangements.
-
Here's what's in the barn. One tan and two brown.

-
I would take the two brown speaker covers!
Any gas pedals in the barn?
-
I've never seen a gas pedal in there, but I probably won't need the one on the parts car.
-
I officially would like to ask for those parts! ;D
-
I haven't checked lately, but TFS did sell the aerosol spray paints to change the color if needed.
-

Having paints or any other items in pressurized containers shipped to Germany is always an issue with customs.
Just like "Medication", that really isn't medication.
I had a vendor from Colorado throw in a bottle of "Assorted Flavor TUMS" into the box and German customs confiscated them, because they fall under medicine and destroyed them. I had to pay duty on them anyways. :(
-
Do you want just the speaker grills, or the entire pieces?
-
On a seperate issue I am having. The slider cable that operates the heat/AC door for the windshield broke off its mount. This is off my 87 GT. The heat/cool/fan panel has push button and 1 slider. The slider cable is the one I need. Any thought as to where I might try to get one????
-
Do you want just the speaker grills, or the entire pieces?
Just the speaker grills please. Thank you.
-
The speaker grills are thermal welded to the panel and not intended to be removed.
-
I think one was just pulled out of the car at Scotts. I also have one if you only need the slider that the cable attaches to.
-
Don, you may be able to find a plastic and vinyl aerosol spray over there that would closely match what you need.
-
What I really need is the cable,, But I sort of got it working so it should do for now. If you think about a work around you usualy come up with something. It would have probably been a problem to change it out anyhow. Rube Goldburg strikes again
-
The grills can be recovered with cloth, right?
-
Changing the complete cable requires pulling the dash. Not a difficult job, but time consuming. Not sure how a cable can be damaged. But I do have one if absolutely needed.
-
Do you want just the speaker grills, or the entire pieces?
Just the speaker grills please. Thank you.
If it is a hassle or destroys the trim pieces when removing the speaker grills, I'll settle for just the gas pedal ;D
Shipping the entire trim pieces will require a large box and freight costs would be rather high and not worth the trouble.
Thanks.
\D
-
Don, I don't know the condition of the ones in the car that Scott stripped. Even though the interior had been exposed to the elements, it was at the front of the cockpit. The rear portion of the roof wasn't damaged and the grills may be serviceable, though they are gray.
-
At one time, Rodney sold cloth kits, to recover the speaker grills.
-
I have no rear speaker grills to recover. ;D They are completely missing and the PO covered the holes with wire mesh.....BRILLIANT! NOT!Hence why I want the complete speaker grills. But having the entire trim sent to me doesn't make sense.Like I said, I'll settle for the gas pedal right now and perhaps I'll find somebody parting out a Fiero here in Deutschland.
-
We have a TON of the gray trip pieces with speaker grills. Since the brown ones are rare, it might be best to leave them intact. That's my feeling anyhow. Anybody want to chime in on this?
-
They probably can be bonded back on in some way, but I've read on PFF that it's difficult and removal usually damages them.
-
Since the brown ones are rare, it might be best to leave them intact.
Agree. Basically, you would have to cut up a set to remove the speaker grills, then shave them to fit what he has. Best to either send the entire piece, if using the brown set.
-
At one time, Rodney sold cloth kits, to recover the speaker grills.
Still does, but the cloth isn't the problem. My question pertained to difficulty, if the grill csnnot be removed.
-

I wonder if you could use something else for the grill?
-
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that the grills can be removed without too much damage, if you're not in too much of a hurry. (They would probably have to be epoxied back on to Don's car.)
If that's an option, I would just choose the most beat up (or most common) set of gray pillar trim (provided the grills are okay) and then remove said grills.
Maybe the fabric could be purchased and included in the same package, for shipping to Europe. Would save Donster the cost of shipping a separate package. (Neither the grills or the cloth should be very large - or heavy - with both packed into a shipping envelope or box.)
-
Don, I have several instruments of destruction and a parts car....... can probably cut out the required parts
-
Also, dibs on the hood and a few other body panels
-
Off of your parts car, or from the parts barn?
-
Don, I have several instruments of destruction and a parts car....... can probably cut out the required parts
Scott, I had no idea that they needed to be cut out. I assumed that they can be easily removed, like the front speaker grills. I don't want anybody cutting up and destroying parts that somebody else may need in the future.
But thanks anyways.
-
Don, have you looked at the pictures of the parts car? Trust me, no one will want these
-
Sounds like a win for everyone.
-
BTW: I could also use the left and right connectors for the power door lock switches.Any of those in the barn?
-
Sorry Don, the interior parts on that car are garbage, everything broke when I tried to take them out..... fir general information those grills are pinned and glued to the panel, not easy to remove and replace
-
All good Scott.
They were not so important, just nice to have.
What about gas pedal and connectors for the power door lock switches?
Thnx.
\D
-
Gas pedal also broke, no power door locks

Guess I'm not batting a good average here. ;D
Thanks anyways.
What year was the parts car? A Duke or V6?
\D

Don, check with Tha Driver. I know he has gas pedals up there. Pat probably has one on his parts Formula, too.

86SE
-
Todd doesn't have a gas pedal? To the best of my knowledge, every Fiero came with one.

As often before, HandyManPat from TX came thru for me. Only charged me for shipping. A really good guy.
Received, installed & working! ;D

I could really use a few things from the barn. I bought most of what I need from tha driver today but still need the aero trom for the bottom of the fenders, could use one of the smooth molding GT rear facias, and if there were a spare hood so I can install my vent scoop without removing my current one till the new one is ready it would be great. Also happy to donate my formula parts when the conversion is done.
-
On page 2 of the thread you can see most of the parts that we brought from Powder Springs. I think most of the parts you need are in those pictures.
-
Hmmm. Next time someone wants to build a Fiero, they can build an aluminum space frame, borrow an engine, then raid the GFC parts barn. Does that sound familiar?
-
C8?
-
Getting parts from the parts barn.
-
I meant C8 'Vette. Aluminum space frame.
-
I knew which C8 you meant.
-
Pat or Charlie,
Do you know if the dark gray, left side, upper "A pillar" trim is still there?

Most likely. I don't think any of the interior trim has been taken.
-
Are there any power mirrors in the parts barn?
I couldn't see any in the pics. I could use one each L/R. Nothing else, just the mirrors.
-
Don, I seem to remember there was, but someone got them when we were doing the inventory.
-
I have a set of power mirrors that I am not going to use. email me and we will discuss sale price and shipping. ronzrx11@msn.com
-
You may want to obscure your email from bots.
-
Hmmm. I think I need to pay a visit to the parts barn.
-
The Parts Barn is cool. I'd donate my '88's old interior skeleton to the barn if it was closer.
-
Yeah, I'd like to see it.
-
Bump to the top for Ralph, and whoever else...
-
I didn’t see anything about the nose I want... I did find a whole 85 but 2.5l and he want $1850
-
On page 2 of the parts barn Raydar posted pictures of what we inventoried. There's a white fascia along with all the rear fascias.
-
OIC. Upside down it looked like a bumper. 😂
-
I have been going through my stash of parts and have a bunch to donate. Will hook up with Pat once I am out of quarantine
-
Are there any small parts?
-

In the barn? Tons of them. At Scotts? Don't know.
-
Pictures Scott texted to me had 2 totes full of parts. Some of them are pretty small. Notchie tail lights, a set of rear struts with springs, 4=spoke steering wheel, side moldings, compartment gaskets, small size washer bottle, 84 4:10 manual ECM and all the tiny stuff is underneath.

Added some wheel well liners and a door panel, there is several pieces of trim, guage faceplates, a stereo, sunvisors, etc

Bolts?
-
Bolts?
I use Tractor Supply or Fastenal for bolts...... yourself?
-
There are some bolts that are more difficult to locate. One bolt for the AC on the driver's side. Another is the fixed-wing decklid screw.

Most of the hardware i salvage goes into a bucket, I probably have 30# worth

My apologies for the picture overload.
Pat... If the large number of pics is going to break anything, please let me know, and I'll break them up into multiple posts.
WHOA! :-* :-*
Sorry for bumping this thread up, but how current is this? Is THE PARTS BARN like a parts lending library for fellow owners/forum members :)?
-
Inventory hasn't been updated since those pictures were taken. Some things are no longer there and other things have been added. There is lots of stuff that isn't shown.
The parts barn parts are for sale to all Fiero owners at an affordable price. If you're a paid member, you have free access to it after 6 months, as long as you're a dues paying member. So, technically, free access expires with your yearly membership unless you renew.

Got it, that is perfect! Could be very helpful :)

Charlie or Pat,
Do you know if there is a front hood prop in the parts barn? I have need of one for the Aerodon car.
-
I know there is one in the white formula that we are stippling at Pat’s house.
-
Yes, there are 2 in the barn.
-
What are the chances of finding a power mirror switch and a passenger side power mirror in the parts barn? I don't really know who to ask or what the inventory is.
-
It may be slim. Fiero Store has the switch. They may have a mirror in the used parts listing.
-
I'm looking for a couple things at the moment:
1. Passenger side fender with no major cracks in it.
2. fastback rear body panel (the one that has the quarter windows attached to it)
Also, I have a bunch of spare parts in my garage i would be happy to donate to the barn. Is that a things we can do?
-

The barn doesn't have either of those things. And if you want to bring things over, please make sure they are good items people are likely to use. Please don't use the barn as a dump.
-
I might have the fender. Will be a bit before I can confirm though.
-
Look on Page 2 of this thread where the photo inventory was done. There are 2 left and 2 right front fenders. All for the aero body style.

Are you converting to fastback or just need to replace a damaged one? I have most of the parts to convert, but I really don't want to sell just the roof.

Check with gabe. My 86 has a lot left but the roof doesn’t have sun roof.
-
The rear clip isn't the part that has the sunroof.
-
I wired up the parts barn, and put up a bright light (Harbor Freight LED shop light). Now it will be easier to find parts, and easier for me to fond things that need to be recycled and/or thrown out. I also put in an outlet, in case anyone needs to plug in something out there.
