so,

I have just purchased the parts necessary to keep my 1980 wagon on the road. The guy i bought them off has a bunch of parts for a 1979 wagon.

so now I am wondering what other parts would be useful for future sabotage attempts by neighbourhoods hooligans.

this is what he has


- Tyre (new) and rim
- Both side mirrors, LHS and RHS, with moulds
- 1 bonnet vent (silver)
- Front indicator assemblies for LHS & RHS
- 1 front passenger seat, with retractable seat belt.
- Back section of the rear seat (not the part you sit on)
- Rear indicator assembly (RHS only)
- Various items such as tool compartment door, fuse box, windscreen wiper arm, box of air filter parts, 1 indicator arm connected to washer/wiper arm, for fitting to the steering column, interior light cover, fuel filter.


I thought I would take the mirrors but was wondering about some of the other items (eg. the bonnet vent, wiper arm etc.)

I'll be so happy when I can take the car for a drive down the coast again.

Up to you what you grab off him..
Mirrors are easily swiped, indicator stalks easily broken etc.
If you have the room and the guy doesn't want much for the parts, take what you can.
Some parts are still available new (or copies from asia) if you ever need things.
