I beat you to the rear suspension and brakes. The car is pretty trashed otherwise and the disk brakes were one of the few things salvagable. I think it has a good front right fender still. Its a four door though, so the doors won't fit the hatchback. I haven't seen any coupes or hatchbacks in the yard last time I checked it out. The SEi wheels were also nowhere to be found when I got there...so no luck in that department either

well i already have a set of SE-i rims and center armrest from my last 3gee... but i was hoping for the disc brakes. oh well. i do need that fender tho, and i'm thinking the door may be repairable... as soon as i get a day off from work i'mma bring it to a body shop for an estimate. which reminds me, anyone know of a good body shop around here? i've dealt with clean fleet before, and they did a good looking job, but shortcut on some of the details...
ok there is one here on the westbank it is on Gretna Blvd or street i forgot, they arent open yet, cuz they had some damage from the storm,but they had alot of buisness, to get there get on the Expressway(90
), take the exit after stumpf blvd, and take aleft under teh bridge, and keep going sstraight till you see grenta blvd, you will see a post office on the left, take a right there and keep going straight, but im not sure when tehy open, there is another one on Mac Arthur, to get there you have to get off on teh Ames blvd exit, turn around under the bridge, and keep going till teh last stop light before the tunnel(street name is Mac Arthur), it is called Auto Glass i believe. but these shops i havent been in them, but i can only tell by appearence, they seem to do good work on cars, i've seen a few cars come in wrecked and in a few weeks on teh way to school see it again all nice, except for the one on Gretna, they have alot of cop cars getting repaired, and Linlcons, so thats a good thing i guess, and various brands, big red Building, hard to miss, has tinted windows,lol

The first shop russiankid mentioned is called Autocraft Inc Paint and Body. They are located at 861 Gretna Blvd, Gretna, LA 70053. Telephone: (504) 361-1325 If I remember correctly, they used to have a website. I can no longer find it though. They do seem to be well-equiped. The second shop that was mentioned is called Cheapie Auto Glass. Their website is http://www.members.tripod.com/ace_cheapie/
Since these are just local area shops we know, you still need to decide for yourself if they are to your liking. As with any paint/body shop, have a look at their finished cars to see what kind of quality they maintain.
Hope this helps.

What do instrument clusters go for? I think I need to fix the connection on the back, I was going to add some solder to the plastic/copper ribbon and want a back-up incase I destroy it....
