PM Marlin on the grill - I believe he still has one left over from his junkyard dumpster diving.
I can get/have the following off of your list:Quote:

Radiator support(assume you mean the portion that runs vertically on the front...I removed mine a long time ago, but I can get it for you. PM me your budget range, the yard is a ways a way, it will cost me 8-10 bucks to drive over there and back, so I rather show up, prepay for everything out of my own pocket, and then ship it out to you. I can usually haggle with em on multiple parts. I can get decent shipping rates now as well, I have a commercial UPS account finally!!!!
Per your PM, I do have some of the little dome lights left (2 I think), as for the door handle, no bueno. Those were some of the first parts I sold...sorry.
I do have the grill insert, I can probably get the AC condenser with no problems. The radiator support, are you talking about the center piece that runs from the top to bottom on the front? I removed mine long ago, too bad I pitched it. I can get the one off the junked VX.
Pm sent, I also need my actual Radiator if ya can get your hands on one of those in good condition.
Here's some sources.Quote:

1) FIRST and foremost- contact "VX Crazy" as she has her wrecked VX in her garage selling parts.
2) Try the mypartshop.com: it has a nationwide search function of salvage yards, and searches the part you want. Plus it gives name/address/phone so you can contact them easily, confirm what they've got.

3) Here's the post Junky was referring to with the Proton hood:

Here is a link to a reman front bumper cover. Its better than nothing if you can't find a suitable OEM.
http://www.partsultimate.com/index.p...duct_id=141005
I love this forum! You guys are awesome!
Still looking for the Hood the one in the link is sold :( As well as all the plastic pieces. I do have the front bumper in the works moreso on the rear and tailgate cover is needed.
I saw a new radiator on ebay the other day if you're still looking for one.
I think i am gonna get the one from autzone 130 lifetime warranty.
Well stuck between rock and hard place here. The total estimate finalized seems to be about 8200.00 Now as much as I want to fix my girl and get her back on the road. The task is becoming more impossible. Having a really hard time finding ne parts that are worth gettin used and all the new parts are insanely priced. Still trying to figure out what to do. But I may have to part her out. Ima give it a few more weeks to see what I can work out.
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e&rdpage=thumb
For $4,500...use what you need...part out the rest.
Ah its not yellow and i dislike the interior of the 99s also the red/black int i find to be hideous, but im not giving up yet. Its gonna be a hell of a battle but I still see the light.
Can you update what's left on your "To Buy" list? How much were you able to find from the sources Marlin and KAT listed on page 3?
Marlins hasnt gotten me anyting yet. and most of the links from Kat had nothing either and the hood was alrdy sold :(
I did happen to come aross this ac condenser site seems uber cheap most my quotes wre from 450-600 this site is only 132
http://www.supremecondensers.com/isu...condensers.php
Id say right now im working on the Core support for under 500
The main cosmetic items are the
Grill
Front and Rear Bumper
Tailgate cladding
Both headlights
Somebody here had a rear cladding for sale, new in box, a little while ago so hopefully they will pipe up.
When you say the front and rear bumper, are you talking about the cladding or the actual structural pieces behind the cladding? I ask because my front bumper (the tube beneath the cladding) is rotting out and I am headed to a local 4x4 fab shop this afternoon to see if they will be able to bend up a new one for me. I can keep you up to date on what I find out from them if that would help.
I mean the cladding that tube behind the bumper im not worryd bout mine rusted out a year ago havent had one since.
Here's a link to the guy that was selling the new in box rear cladding:

http://i.ebayimg.com/05/%21CBmgq5Q%2...w%7E%7E_12.JPG
Listing says that the item is no longer available, but does NOT indicate that it was sold. There was much discussion here that perhaps his price was too high, so maybe he just stuffed it back in his garage. I would DEFINITELY contact him directly.
Hey Lizard - you never responded to my offer to track down 2 or 3 parts from your list.... (see post #45)
How about I try to track down the TAILGATE CLADDING (The piece that has the license plate, correct?) and the GRILL?
Give me a price range for each.
O Kat so srry I somehow mis read that small line. Marlin said he may have a grill but havent heard back from him ina few weeks. I think i have seen grills from 50-100 not sur eon prices as far the looking for the tailgate that clad that would be awesome as well havent had to much luck on that. Le tme know what ya find same thing on pricin for that i think new its aroun 400 so whatever ya can get it lowerd to let me know thanks alot.
I PM'd VX Crazy tonight, and turns out she has all 4 of the parts, 2 headlights, grill, rear door cladding. She's deciding what she wants to sell, and how much. She'll get back to us/you/me.Quote:

Well the custom grill insert broke also which im really upset about cause that isnt replaceable. As well as my Klearz but I think the site still makes them. What about the Front and rear cladding(bumpers) The other major thing is the Core support but that would take some skill getting one of those off so might just have to buy a new. O ya and a Proton Hood would be amazing. I couldnt did up any used ones my insert is still good. But if you find a different colored hood cheap I could just get it painted. But then ya got to balance the cost to paint then just buying a new proton one.
?????....possibly ????..... hope it helps......... http://www.salvage-cars-for-sale.inf...jIzMjA1NzQ4MTI

I have the hood, not sure I can figure out how to ship it LOL
not sure what support you need......pm or email me and I can send photos
My email is Lizardmen3477@aol.com That is awesome that you have all those pieces. Its called a core support. kinda hard ti dismantle it out so I may just have to bite it and buy the new one. But with all those cosmetic pieces for a good price would help a tremendous amount. Please send pics of all to my email.
Shes almost done.
Last part it seems I need is the A/c Fan Assembly. Does anyone know where to get a hold of one cheaper then Merlin. Current is 363.00 for it all. Looks like my only bet though.
I assume that you are talking about the fan assembly at the radiator, not the blower assembly for climate control.
If I'm right, sounds like it's time for a 'lectric fan conversion. Easier, cheaper and according to some: gives 0.1% increase in throttle response (butt dyno). Sorry, last part is an inside joke. There are threads on the subject.
Here's the one that contains the inside joke:
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...t=electric+fan
It is the acutaly ac fan and the big plastic shroud and the motor itself for it.
Cool, then the link I gave you should help you get her running on the cheap.
any 10" aftermarket cooling fan should fit there. i put a second one in from autozone for like 15 bucks...

Eric are you running both fans at all times or only during hot/summer days ?Quote:
