[BaadAssGremlins] Re: New Gremlin Gas Tank Availability NEED PLASTIC COVERS FOR POP OUT WINDOWS

["Steve Olinger" <olinger@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
       A local salvage yards book said the 81 Spirit fuel tank would 
fit my sons 77 Gremlin and it did.  Also my son needs the plastic 
covers for the hinges for the pop out side windows. Good luck,
                    Steve
