Europe/Germany: parts badly needed! (and it shows) Hi folks! This post begins with the template "Please help me out. I badly need parts for my Riv..." (boattail '72, VIN: 4Y87U2H903318) Concerning my cars I usually don't have hedgehogs in my pocket and of course I'm willing to pay quite a bit of exclusive oldtimer bonus, but (as far as I've seen it) the prices for some Buick parts here in europe are completly off the ground. I won't pay 1000 deutsch Marks for a used Dashboard. I won't, I won't, I won't... :ball: Ebay.com is a good source, but for takeoff I need a pack of parts to drive the riv without having to flee every little cloud in fear of drowning. (see picture "window seal rubber"....) For better understanding what parts I need, I've included pictures. :Comp: - Flywheel Cover for the TH400 (won't need a picture here) - a good carb (remanufactured Rochester (seen it on summitracing for 200$) or a used Edelbrock with low milage and a fitting intake air filter box (don't know the correct name) without a snorkel. - center hubs & - chrom schnickschnak for the tires (again: don't know the correct word, please look at the picture) - window seal rubber (inside + outside) for ALL Windows (main + 1/4) - window lifter e-motor - sway bar rubber kit - a small part of the body obove the lights (in driving direction: right side!) - "Riviera" emblem left + right - rear seat plastic cover (both sides) - a fast idle solenoid - whatever the correct word for this part is (picture) the former owner has plugged a resistor between the two pins and it looks as if there should be a pipe connected on top of that part... don't know. The engine runs... a little... :shock: These are all small parts, shipping them to Germany shouldn't be a problem, please let me know what it will cost. I'll pay in advance, directly to your bank account (via IBAN/SWIFT) or paypal. :Brow: Maybe I can do you a favor in return; as I live in Germany (near Stuttgart Untertrkheim), parts for Mercedes are maybe cheeper than they are in the US, I don't know, but will let you know if you tell me what parts you need for whatever car. THANKS !!! greez T0Mi
