Thread: Which parts to save on a SIII 5 door ?

The rear doors, if they are repairable, and the 'B' pillar plus sill.
Rear name plate.
Roof ventilators
Any interior trim that is usable.
Rear floor panel
rear springs unless broken or badly spread.

I have specified bits that are unique to the station wagons and hard to find.
In addition, any common bits that are a bit hard to find might be worth latching on to such as instrument panels, hinges, locks etx if they are any good.

Thanks John,
A couple of the items you listed I already had my eye on such as the rear badge (4WD Station Wagon) and the B pillars (for my Dormobile) and also the rear floor panel (again for my Dormobile).
Interior trim is past saving (roof trim may be OK).

DeLuxe bonnet is also a possibility and I hadn't thought about the rear springs, doorlocks etc.

Looks like I will have to spend a day stripping it down soon.




Doesn't look too bad in the photo.

The plastic grill looks in good nick and the front top door hinges are the drilled type to accept rear view mirror.
Front bumper looks salvageable too, not drilled full of holes and with some encouragement it would straighten out
ok, then with a dip through the gal bath it would be as new.


Cheers, Mick.

Mick,
The more I look at it the more I think I should just move the whole car to home. Only $250 but SWMBO will divorce me......

Hi Colin

Does it still have the front door trim?

I'm in need of the upper section/s that clips over the door top and down to the little arm rest.

I'm really after the parts off an SII/SIIa without the window lock hole, but they're going to be recovered so we'll just go over the hole without cutting.

Diana,
Interior trim is past saving unfortunately, just looked at the pictures and most of the front door trim is actually missing.

save the roof complete, the safari roof is a winner on our hot days.
are the station wagon sides the same as a shorty? save them as the sliding window set up is also an excellent bit of kit on hot days.
