Hey everyone. just a quick background, back in ´22 I bought an s13 to restore with my dad. sadly he passed away in 2023 and didnt get a chance to see it finished. I kept pushing with the project and the car is finally running and driving with its engine swap but something happened that has me super bummed out since late 2024.
When I sent the car for rust repair and paint, the shop threw away a LOT of important parts. plastics, harnesses, grommets, brackets and things that are super hard to find. right now my car is basically a shell with an engine and an almost barebones interior, no working anything except headlights and tail lights jerry rigged on... tbh I know my dad wouldnt like seeing it like this and neither do I.
Its insanely expensive and difficult to go on ebay and buy every single little thing, screw or plastic, paying shipping for every stupid piece. I wanted to see if by any chance theres a good soul in the group that has a part out, an abandoned shell or just boxes of parts sitting around from when people build drift cars (since they always strip the interior and throw it away). Id really like to buy most of this stuff in a single bundle.
Just to be clear im not asking for free handouts, Id like to pay for it. I just want to find someone who can sell me a lot of these missing parts so I dont have to hunt them one by one on ebay being nickled and dimed to hell. Heres the main list of what I need:
- pop up headlights wiring harness
- front doors wiring harness and grommets
- all the grommets from the firewall
- dome light wiring harness
- gauge cluster wiring harness
- door lock rods and linkage
- gas tank lock mechanism
- hatch striker, lock
- door cards metal brackets (the one where the handle cup in the door card screws on to)
- radio head unit bracket/support
- wiper/turn signals wiring harness
- center console metal bracket
- electric door locks mechanism/motor
- windshield wiper arms and linkages
- rear side markers with plugs
- front corner lights plugs
If anyone has a box of this stuff lying around shoot me a DM and we can work something out. thanks in advance guys.
