1983 Turbo Coupe on Death Row

Also true.
I seriously dont get it.

I've been looking for a set locally for years now. I've only found broken remains...
Why do people go out of there way to break these?
The surface area on the glass isnt very big, And the lenses are fairly thick, Seems like it might take some effort or tactic to make them shatter like that. Or... Maybe these idiots are just running around with a metal hammer and have nothing better to do. I'm baffled.

Let me know if you decide to make the trip, jrad. No worries if you are after some stuff I'm after.

yeah, that's a bit disappointing, I was willing to make the drive for the fog lights.  :)  I'll have to think about those vent windows though...

Here are a pair off ebay for about $50 bucks......

Well that's cool.  Unfortunately, I would need the whole door since I don't have vents from the factory.

By the way...Holy ! He wants $45 for shipping! :hick:

Yeah, I was going to head over there yesterday, but when I checked the pick N pull site it was already gone. Sorry man. Give me a head's up(Email) when you see something down here because I don't really browse for parts right now.

If you watch ebay, sometimes a decent set comes up.
