Are you only parting out some of your car or all of it? New to the forum just wondering.

Is it a non-AC car? Do you still have the front under tray?

I'd be interested in the battery bracket if it's not too rough as well as adjustable intermittant wipers and cruise control.

Not very many cruise controls or adjustable intermittent wipers around I'm afraid. There's a way to make the adjustable wipers from a pickup work though, I'd need to find the thread.

Sorry for the Absence from the forum. I got busy with other things as I continued to look for another trans, with no real luck and now at the point that I no longer need the extra car for what I had planned . I could get a thousand dollars for the car through cash for clunkers here in california but cant bring myself to see it go to the crusher. better to make parts available to those needing them. so anyway I am back and the car is still available for parts. I also have an engine and some body parts left from a 96 Rav4
