Hello,


I had quite a nasty incident with our 40 Anniversary c4.
(some pictures at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w4x2p5vuk...EMmvQPQZa?dl=0 )


There is no mechanical damage to the car, but some body panels and windshield, etc are wanted.. and given that I am in Bulgaria - this further complicates things.

Now, I do have a cousin in LA, who can purchase all and ship it to me, however he does not have the time to look for the parts needed.
So I am thinking if you can direct me to vendors or web sites I can use, so I can make selection, agree to price and just give him the info what from where he needs to buy.

Is it best to just ebay the things to him.. or maybe I could get a decent discount if some vendor has it all..


I would really appreciate a scheme of some sort of the panels/fenders, so I do not mixe them up due to being not native english speaker.


Overall, what I need is:


LH Inner wheelhouse fender (the one attached to the hood)
LH headlight
LH side fender ( have it in two peaces - can it be glued somehow?)
LH Mirrow
LH External door panel
LH door window


RH inner fender - forward section (the one just behind the washer fluid reservoir)

Washer fluid reservoir
Front windshield

Rear glass (trunk).


Complete wheatherstrip set


Rear tie rod? - See pictures.


Are these parts interchangeable with all c4 corvettes '84-96 ?

A "RUBY ZR-1" at that. That's very unfortunate. Given your location some things aren't going to ship well. Some of your requests seem to be for the wrong parts, The snapshot of the door isn't very good but the door is ZR-1 specific so that creates an issue.

Were it me I'd contact Sam a user here on the CF. He's not close but in Switzerland and has contacts and a tremendous list of acquaintances. There maybe better solutions. He's also a very good LT5 technician and C4 maintenance person.

I'll try to sort through your list a little later in the day and comment further.

Contact SAM - 1st thing I'd do.

Thanks a lot for the input.


Today I found a guy in BG who claims can repair the hood and the door. I do not know if that's possible with these fiber parts, but if that checks out, the major remaining things with difficult delivery will be the glass parts - (windshield, back and side ).

Considering the nasty overhead roll-over both I and the car fared quite well

The repair of the hood and door certainly appears to be "not a problem". The shop only needs to be familiar with SMC composition panels. SMC is "important". VERY!

The door glass you want to be '91+ so that it matches the RH side in tint etc.

The windshield (ZR-1 specific) hasn't been available for years and you'll need to settle for a C4 windshield, that isn't a problem. You need a w/strip and it appears 2 moldings for sure.

You didn't mention the top so you apparently have the colored top still. You want to do the collision repair to the windshield pillar using the painted for fitting.

The rear glass has a multiple choice for service, if you could locate an '86 through '90 conventional C4 rear glass or through '95 ZR-1 it's a "direct fit", you could use later and just have to remove the upper molding and CHMSL. Is yours damaged? An '86 - '90 "local" maybe.

Contact SAM - 1st

Indeed, I have the painted top. So we'll use it and the front glass to repair the LH pillar.


Just to clarify (language barrier ):
- '86-'90 c4 - direct fit?
- '90-'95 ZR1 - fits just the glass?
I think the CHMSL is OK. The overhead beam has sunk a bit at the left side. I guess it is a metal under the plastic and can be straightened, right?


I did! Hopefully we can find glass parts from the EU. I was contacted by forum members, but transporting the rear glass from the US might be tricky..


I do not have unlimited budget, but I think it is well worth to repair rather than leave behind..


Thanks again, you have been very helpful

I have the rear tie rod whole assembly From a ZR-1

$100

I might have the LH headlight.

Let me check on that.

Sorry your car got banged up.

WVZR-1

'86 - '90 base C4 and the '90 - '95 ZR-1 use the same CHMSL. Rear glass from either would be a "bolt-on".

Do you have room for another car?

Can some of you guys send me schemes of the dash assembly and around the steering/bulkhead?
We need to take out the dash and I would prefer to do it with some schematics if possible.


Thanks
