That fender on my parts car is bent by the door hinge and I'm keeping the hatch from it for my project.

However, there's a yard about an hour from me with a dark blue 86 that has a good hatch. I can't recall if the fender is good but I could check if you're interested.

Only thing is I'm on the Kitsap Peninsula...shipping will definitely be more than the parts cost.

It's called All West Coast Auto Wrecking http://www.awcaw.com/ It's down towards Shelton, WA.

It's not a self serve yard though which sucks...I got a seat and a door panel from them and they mucked up the panel...I had to send them back three times to get all of the pieces and I still left without the cup. I think they broke it.

I hadn't planned on going back anytime soon but if you, or anyone needs something I'd be happy to.

Here's the car...engine and tranny are gone...most stuff is in pretty poor shape, I'm gonna have a rough time getting the seat cover clean.

I'm more curious about that brown car in front with four circular rear lights...looks Italian, from the 1970/80s. Similar to the rear end of a Ferrari 400/412, but definitely not that car. Maybe a Fiat? Anyone else got any guesses?

Pretty sure that's an Opel.
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

I thought Opel Kadett, but on-line search does not show those tail lights. that big bumper would put it in the 1974-79 range. Seems that rear end look was common in Southern calif when I was in high school. I do not recall any fiats with that look, so I searched other Opel models, and found this! Opel Manta!

Good looking car.

A sporty version of the Kadett, made in Germany as I recall. Unfortunately mechanically was not very well made, prone to engine problems, one reason they stopped importing them. Had a 1900 cc overhead cam engine, Rear wheel drive.

too bad about that Tercel, looks like the body and interior were in decent shape. must have had engine or trans issues to end up in the wrecking yard and it is not actually wrecked. what a shame, changing an engine or trans out is easy compared to fixing a rough body.

It did get wrecked...just on the other side. It's hard to see in this pic but the fender is smashed in pretty bad... door too.
