First Gen parts I need

[Vienna]

The wagon went the way of the crusher it seems, sad day as there wasn't even a photo on the site so we'll never know the condition of it. The sedan has some things need so Paul is in the yard pulling parts now. Unfortunately since we have the toddler with us I can't personally go to check the inventory.

What an interesting day! Was an 82 Four door Tercel with 157k miles and an Auto from California!

Got the following of note to cross off my list:

Passenger sun visor
Blue Driver inside door handle
Licence plate lights
Headlight/turn signal switch
Antenna (broke the cable)
Driver window regulator
Blue dashboard pad
Rear defroster switch

I think the best part I got was the headlight/turn signal assembly, the light switch on mine is so loose it'll vibrate on and off while driving, and ebay wanted $200-300 for one! I just have to hope the wiring stayed the same

Will make a full inventory and post it later. Was going to grab the windshield but some yahoo ran the wipers without rubber for a while. Looked at getting the defroster glass too, but the seal would have taken too long to cut out

Even got some stuff for my Regal and for the family's beater dodge we borrowed.

the broken antenna wire is no problem. just cut the wire from your car, twist it together with the wire from the new one, and solder and shrink wrap it. i've done it, worked fine.

It pulled right off the wire on the junked one when I tugged it lightly to get it off. I think the wire is gone from my car (of course), I'll have to see if I can get at it to check!

If I can't figure it out, it'll just be a cosmetic antenna for now, to cover up the ugly holes!

most antenna wires and the plug that goes into the back of stereos are the same (at least on all these old cars) so you should be able to grab one from just about any other car, if you're interested in it. i don't know when i last listened to a radio but i always like to have it in place anyway. you know, just in case there's a nuclear assault and i need to know where to evacuate to or whatever.

Yeah the cable looked like a normal coax cable! Ha, I bet my kids will be like "Co axe, what?"

I'm buying a new radio, and while it'd be nice to have FM every now and then, it isn't really pressing. I was going to pull it out of the junker but someone cut it long ago!

We managed to find a very good shape 82 Sedan and stripped it of most of the inside parts! Still need a few random things.
