Re: [BaadAssGremlins] N.O.S. parts....

[Luke Wardwell <horneteer2@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's what I like about having a black interior. It's
freakin' hot to sit in in the summer, but you don't
have to worry about matching colors.
Mine was missing one of those triangles, so I snagged
afew from a coffin nose. The door lock pins were
cheesy newer chrome ones, so I got some from another
Matador. My seats are almost mint, except for one
small rip at a seam. I hope to get that fixed when I
have time and $$$$$$. I also found a black armrest
from anothe Hornet. I have a $30 hood emblem. The
original was ok for a driver. My rear X emblem has a
small chip,. I haven't put it on yet. I am looking for
a better one. Would I loose points if I put a Pacer X
X on there instead??
Can't wait to get her back together.             Luke
