Not sure if the gasket was ever on Sue's VX so prolly can't count it as a shared part.
While I had the RTV out for the SBC bracket, I used it to secure the dash vent on the passenger side. It was sticking up a little bit ever since I got the VX ... not anymore tho!!!
I got a spare tire cover from NateBrekke...
ranchero will be running vt_mavericks old Isuzu & 4WD emblems (I just dropped them in the mail).
i got buffys grille and kats tweeter
Vendetta has my NERF bars now ... & trace amounts of my DNA on his frame from the install:).
Lizardmen has my window tabs.
RADO has ND92's OEM headlights & ND92 has RADO's modified ones ... I think.
Can't remember his handle, but a new-ish member has my old Tone Clone hitch.
Some member in Florida is getting the ORW brush guard. (VX-Man maybe)
Oh yeah, I forgetted to mention that I have all of Travelin2's components for towing the VX (quick disconnect driveshaft, WARN hubs) but I made my own tow bar brackets.
BZBZZZ is running the left front fender, hood, bumper cover, radiator, AC condensor, fan & clutch from some Pennsylvania Proton (0724) that was never a member of the forum. As soon as I get it out of the shop I'll be running the passenger window regulator from vt_mav's 'RIP' VX.
tconnectionnyc will be running my old front bumper cover & right front turn signal from 44ficus44. Don't know who's RF fender is being used.
AFAIK, it's chasecarmichael that is now running the RF fender from the Proton that donated all the parts for mine.
& someone on the forum snarfed one or both of the half shafts but I can't remember who. (VBGoby maybe???)
Yes sir-eee I have VXorado's custom headlights.

The ORW generously donated the front grille badge to BZBZZZ.
VX-Man will be running the hood blanket from BZBZZZ (KUDOS for a generous site donation too!!!)
ZeroSix will be running the NERF bars from vt_mav's VX.
& you also have the license plate delete from that donor Proton in Pennsylvania that gave it's life so that mine could live again.Quote:

Boy will soon have the spare tire cover (along with amp & sub) from vp277 & has an armrest from etlsport.
vxnewb has the original (cracked) hood insert from BZBZZZ that will eventually grace his VX when he installs a scoop.
JAMAS will be getting the JDM extra mirror thinggy from edalseel & I think some JDM rain guards.
Kilnas VX is sporting the cats from the wrecked one I purchased.
44fucus's VX will be sporting the S/Charger from Cyrks VX.
VX-Mans VX will be sporting JDM wind deflectors, razo stuff etc from Cyrks VX.
Cyrks VX will be sporting a bunch'o parts from the wrecked VX.
We got ouselves a gaggle of Franken'crosses !!
Good to see :thumbup:
Jo
Oh yeah, I forgetted. BZBZZZ has the DS window regulator from Mav's wrecked VX too (so both sides).
Now I can be officially added to this list. I have three of Ascinders OEM shocks on my VX. The hardest part was compressing the front shocks. I could compress the Ranchos with ease. The OEM shocks have some serious damping!
I love the devotion to keeping as many VXes up & running, and our members helping each other out. 'Tis quite awesome to be a part of this fam!Quote:

WooHoo.
Actually the spare cover came from Boy's Ebony. The jack cover came from my Proton.
Still need to make arrangements for my brother in law to pick up yours from your in-laws (haven't forgotten).
Newthings winch and mount
I totally forgot about this thread (sorry Tom)! So seeing as how it is once again active, I will update. I bought a full set of stock 18" chrome rims with new rubber from jeeperkate, another '01 VX from one eyed monkey, (just five serial numbers newer then my Proton, they probably saw each other on the assembly line!) door weatherstriping, hood bumpers and windshield side moulding from VX Kat!
Roof rack mounting hardware from VX Kat.
Now I've got a blend of ORW and VX Kat DNA in my Dragon...let the fire-breathing begin...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:
OMG, does that mean your Dragon has a case of fire-crotch?? Ya gotta watch out for those ORW's...Sorry jo, I couldn't help myself...
Boy's ebony is now sitting on the spare set of rims/tires from the Amigo. They still need to be blasted & painted though.
Engine from crashed 2001...
...on its way to LA to revive Jorges VX
Thats five and counting that the crashed one has donated too..
...and help revive :thumbup:
Jo
Chris, new owner in Phoenix has rear seats and seat belt gear...
....from crashed / stripped 2001 VX.
Well, he will when I get off my duff...
...and go take 'em out!
Off I go....:smack:
Jo
Skid Plates,NOS Rail caps,NOS Badges, 2 lisenes plate delete's, and probably more lol all from Kat.
Non cracked hood insert and passenger front fender from Brian.
Well it looks like my Proton will be running around with VXD959's nuts (well, one of them anyways).
Replaced my driver side "carbon fiber" door panel insert with one from HCloud13s part out.
Biju had some issues in Moab with the heat and it had the clear plastic peeling on it...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:
Anyone happen to have the black clad piece for the rear door just below the window? Garage door bit mine today. Looking for a really pristine one.
PM Buffy to see if he still has one.
Also, may want to start your own thread for your search. This thread really isn't for that purpose (even though it kinda sounds like it). You probably won't get much response from here.
Thanks Tom! I thought about starting one but didn't want to clutter.
