Looking for parts and have a few questions....

Most of y'all know I just picked up a nice 85 Turbo Coupe. I'm looking for a few replacement parts and performance parts.
Also, the grey on the bottom is very chalky. Any suggestions as what to use to make it look nice again?
The weather stripping at the bottom of the window, on the outside is cracked. Is that available anywhere?

Looking for any performance parts. Intercoolers, boost controller, exhaust,  etc. Let me know if you're selling.

I would like to find a functioning auto dim sensor. It's the big radar detector looking thing in front of the rear view mirror.

Thanks, Matt.

Someone on CL posted this. Don't worry,  it's not 134 conversion. It is weather stripping info.

I'm trying to talk my dad I to making a custom 3d printer for these.

We have been experimenting with a new type of 3d printing material called "ninja flex". It's basically rubber impregnated plastic.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
