Steve....check your pm's if you still want the FSM.

10-4 Sir! I felt the price would be better handled as private business than as public knowledge. Any who... Sunroof, first 100.00 and the buyer covers shipping, FSM, 50.00 and buyer covers shipping. A-pillar, 20.00 and buyer covers shipping. Window regulators, free, buyer covers shipping. Enjoy. If you are around Brazoria county Texas I can meet with you.

Spent some time in the garage today and found these items I thought you guys might want. The sunroof, I bought from a used parts dealer in Dallas. Bench tested upon arrival and it worked. it is of the Mazda RX7 variety. Hurricane Harvey killed my car before I could install. A-pillar is for the drivers side, not broken in any way. FSM, good book to have, back cover is just about ready to come off (see picture). The window regulators, if you pay for the shipping they are yours. I believe them to be good, I was in a position to install new ones, so I did. Only later, did I figure out the switch was the culprit. Send PM's with offers and we'll make decisions by the 3/16. If it don't go here, I'll list on eBay sometime later. The last picture is of my new love affair. I guess I'll get on the Corvette forums as Blue_Baby.

Got a '88, just turned over 107000 this morning. Beginning to sell off various items prior to moving out of the country. If interested, 409 770 3735. located near Alvin Tx.

Keep after it, I'm still diggin' on mine. I just finished jerking out the old AC and installed the new 134A system. I'm down to about 4-5 "to do's" and mine will be 99% good. I don't see myself going back into the door to work on the switch for the light show. There's fish to go chase.

Could one replace the fuel sending unit from inside of the car by making a hole/window through the floor? It would eliminate the need to drop the tank which would be nice. How crazy is this idea?

Found this after spending an extra few minutes under the hood after an oil and filter change. So what am I up against next? Anyone seen this before? I still have a small laundry list of repair items to do I guess I added one more to it.

409 543 9854 car is located in Port Neches. Use southeasttexas.com . I couldn't make link post. Click on the used cars tab, then type in buick in the search field. Good luck.

I haven't had hardly any time to wrench on my car. Since Halloween I've had maybe 10 days off. The oil and gas business is keeping me out of trouble. I thinking I got another 5-6 weeks of this. By the time I get around to working on the car again I'll have to start all over at square one again.

As would be typical, CL doesn't show 'em now. One was listed at a Houston car dealership and was advertised as select 60 at around 16k. The other had a Nederland location and was around 5k. A Beaumont CL search or there is another site called southeast texas dot com may produce that one. If the more expensive one shows again I'll post it up.

I concur on the price to buy and ship. I "shopped" for a week on getting the shipping below 1k. Had I been able to get that done, I wouldn't have thought too much about being into the car for less than 4500. There was a deal in place contingent on finding reasonable shipping. I had a car shipped from Indiana when gas prices were at their highest and paid considerablely less than the 1200.00 I was getting quoted for this time with fuel prices at an all time low. You don't see to many Reatta's running around here for whatever reason. At times you have to take what you can find and other times you can wait 'til you find what you want. There are a couple white 'verts out on the web in Texas, but white (or red for that matter) isn't my color. I can live with black or blue. I'm in no hurry to buy my second Reatta, time is on my side. I currently have a CJ 7 under resto for my daughter. It just got back from the paint shop so I'm about ready to get bloody knuckles again.

I almost pulled the trigger on it yesterday. If I can get reasonable price from a shipping company today I still may. For the money, I'd be willing to roll the dice.

Good news: We have a ballpark on the price. I'm 99% sure she will sell between 500-750 dollars. At this point, I'm sure she'd take the 500. Bad news: Her husband did pass away within the last two weeks.

I can check with her and get a number. She told me something to the effect of ".... as long as it brings more than scrap pricing". I need to drop in and do a wellness check on her husband. He is a mason in my lodge and it's my duty to see if I can offer any other help.

Here's the deal, I'm posting this for a lady whose husband's health is in decline and they are in the process of cleaning out the garage. Her parents bought the car new and then signed the title over to her when they became to elderly to drive. The car was parked in the garage where it has sat in waiting. I posted a couple of pictures, if you would like more pictures send me a pm and I'll get 'em for ya'. If someone is interested in more detailed questions then pm me and I'll send her phone number. The only badging that appears on the car is "Special". It has a V6. The roof material has cracked and the interior will need TLC. The glass is good and no noticeable dents. The car is located in Angleton Texas. That's just south of Houston.

I know your pain. I remember when my list of stuff to fix was that long. I've had my car now about 9 months, not everything is fixed but it's road worthy. I still have a rattling front brake, fuel tank to pull and back lighting to fix. Wrench on sir!

Before I go looking at NH CL, what color is the car? Enquiring minds wanna know.

PM sent.

After looking at the wefco 3265, I'm thinking it would replace the strip where the yellow pencil is pointing. The other is very soft then foam of some kind.

Here's a picture of what I'm up against. The white pencil is the one I'm most concerned with. I'd like to replace both pieces, if I can find the right stuff. Hopefully, I can get by the Mazda dealer on Friday. In the meantime, I'll do a search on the wefco 3265 and see if that is the route I'll go with. No Reatta or Jeep work this weekend, we are headed out 100 plus miles into the Gulf for an overnighter.

If you cover the shipping I'll give you a grey sunvisor for the passenger side. I might have the metal trim for the console, I'll have to check. Stay tuned.

I have the factory edition, but I have a RX7 replacement. I was hoping that the forum gurus had a part number # or alternate supplier to recommend. This is the last thing I'll likely to try to fix until I through with working on my daughters Jeep.

Anyone got an express idea on where to pick up a complete new kit?

A quik post from the practical Reatta owner. Here's how I fixed my torn speaker grill cloth. I took a pair of ....ahem...women's tights and cut enough to cover the entire plastic piece; well actually the girl friend did this. Put the 'ol E6000 glue to it with some binder clips and let it set. Laid the E6000 to entire back side and put it on the door panel. I used a bag of potting soil to evenly distribute the weight and make sure the entire speaker cover was adherring. I like the black over the grey anyway. More pictures of other repairs next trip to the forum. Have a good weekend.
