Parting out '96 RMW

Link to a thread with pictures and why I'm parting is on the SS forum. Can't post a link yet. Easy to find in the wagon section....


What else I have that isn't shown that I have separate from the car itself:

-2 passenger taillights, good condition
-Full front seat set. The passenger seat is in good condition, the drivers is decent as well, but does have one hole in it.
-Quarter glass (2) with attached hinges!

Anything and everything on the car is for sale. I believe the doors are in good condition as is most of the rest of the interior, sans the carpet. The wheel well liners are junk.

I would very much prefer if the large parts were local. Wife is pregnant and I'm extremely busy. Small parts I should be able to ship. If anyone wants to come up and pick parts off the car, you can. I have almost any tool you could need to pull the part and I can help or take it off for you. Have a few wagon buddies that want to come up and make a pick fest, fine with me.

Notes that I can think of:

1. Opti works. I just replaced plugs and wires and the car runs without a miss
2. Transmission has a pan leak but shifts/runs fine
3. Rear diff needs a pinion seal, but doesn't drop oil on the concrete
4. Wipers/washer pumps work as does the rear
5. Tailgate has internal rust, but the outer skin is fine and I believe rust free
6. I have two keys and all the locks for a matched set
7. A/C does not work. Did not diagnose
8. Auto climate works now. New blower resistor. I may take it back out and return to AutoZone
9. Has a new alternator. I may return that as well.
10. Seat heaters DO work on the passenger side.
11. Door panels are in decent shape but need gluing for the wood trim.
12. Hood is in good shape, but does have some light scratches and a couple small rust spots on the very front from rock chips.
13. Remote release for the hatch still works.
14. Rear end has 2.93 posi

I will try to take some more pictures. I have one more appointment with a body guy that may take me in as a charity case to attempt fixing the rust.

What color is the interior?

Tan. I believe there are a couple of pictures on the Impala SS forum. I can't post a link yet.

Location may be helpful.....I'll look at ISSF later when I get home.

Sorry, thought I had done that. Updated!

Ughhh! Rust never sleeps and it sucks!  

I just noticed your location. I work at Chelsea Products, a manufacturer of Power Take Offs. The company was started back in the '40s in Chelsea, MI and was a long time division of Dana Corp. Chelsea Products moved to north Mississippi in the early '80s. and was sold to Parker Hannifin Corp about 12 years ago.

Enough of tha. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Wow, amazing to see just how bad rot can get. Lets you know why they call it Cancer.

Would say I hope it served you well but I see on ISSF that you didn't own it long. Gotta go over these cars very well before buying

PM sent about parts needed.

Hi,
PM sent

Sorry for the delayed response here. I am going to be fixing the rust basically until someone wants the engine and transmission. I would not be taking parts off until those are sold. If that does happen, the whole car is coming apart and the body is going to the scrap yard.

But for now, I'm cutting and welding new floor pan material in.

If the frame is solid why not?
Drive the hell out of it

Whole car sold. I gave up on it. Rust extended up into the firewall and cowl area.

Do you have the mirrors complete? I am interested in the driver side.

JedBed96, you just posted to a thread that is 11 years old, fogight has not been on the forum for 10 years. I wouldn't expect a response.

Tom

Wow thank you, I paid no attention to the date.

It happens. Some forums you're not able to post to a thread that is older than a year or whatever length they decide.
