Calling all Houstonians, if anyone knows of a parts yard or a parts car, let me know. 87 or 88 TC, any color.

Just an update, all the parts are on the car now. Welded in the rad support (starting from the strut towers to the very front.) Door, fender and header panel installed. I did have to splice two bumpercovers together (I used aircraft urethane epoxy/sealant). I had enough material to make an airdam/ground FX, I used the upper half of a bumpercover and turned it upside down. Looks very cool, when it's done I'll snap some pics and let y'all be the judge. All thats left is to find some good lights for the front...Should be back on the road very shortly.

If you have the skill and the parts, you could clip it. or clip 1 side
these cars are easy to do that to in the front. the backs are kinda tough.

I'm already driving it, I'm waiting for better front lights and rattle can paint job before I post the after pics. I used some "L" brackets and welded the front clip on.
