Default Looking For "mr. Goodwrench"

I have an 88 35th Anniversary that I am "restoring". The interior has been completely removed down to the bare floor. I have installed Dynamat Extreme has a sound barrier from front to back, installed new wiring for a complete Pioneer CD system, and when I'm finished I will have pretty much have a brand new interior. While I am keeping the car stock as it is a low production vehicle (#593 of 2050) I will begin work on the motor sometime this fall. Unfortunately, I am not that knowledgable with engine rebuilding (nor do I have the time). What I'm hoping for is someone who is or knows someone who can help. I live 15 minutes east of St. Louis, MO. in a small community called Fairview Heights. I am very familiar with St. Louis and the surrounding areas, but I can't trust just anyone with my "baby".

Looking forward to some positive response.

Thanks,

JC

Tom,

I've been looking for the rear shade assembly, but unfortunately haven't come across any. The shade itself is still in good condition, but it has trouble re-winding itself. Have any problems with yours?

Default Mines fine

My rear shade is fine, retracts well.....a little sun faded but hard to tell. Right now I need to replace my console lid. I think they are available in black.....I think I will just go with that for now. When I put in new door panels I noticed they were painted white. Been 3 years now and no major problems with peeling...but I dont drive it that much. All of my emblems are faded but presentable. They go for as much as $100 a piece on ebay. I'll wait on those. Its hard to find 35th specicic parts but I'll keep shoppin!!!
