Subject: My new baby has arrived

Body:
Hey all, my 85 Vert has arrived. It came on Saturday morning. The car
is what most here would call a POS or a Road Pig. Some might see it
as a parts car or in need of a trip to the junkyard. The car has
lived a long hard life, but luckily it is a two owner car, and is
unmolested.

The Goods:
no rust(california car)
runs and drives
for the most part complete

Things I need:
sunvisors and clips
door map pockets
red door panel reflectors
outer belt window moldings
carpet for top of rear storage bins
ashtray
radio
seat covers
seat levers to lean seat forward
various rubber weather strip pieces
paint

If you have any of these pieces, please let me know. I know there is
more it needs, but that is all I can think of right now.

The car is far worse than the 85 on ebay at the moment, but it is all
I can afford and I love it just the same.

If anyone can help, I would still like to hear some testimonials from
those of you that have bought a new top. Also, any 85 Vert or 84-86
Vert owners, I will have a few questions I would like to ask of you
as I embark on this resto.

Anyone know if the Capri/Mustang visors are the same as the McLarens?
Are the speaker covers for the door metal? Every pic I have, they
looks like this...

Anyways, I have a ton more questions, just have to remember them.
Please, if anyone can help me with this vert, I greatly need it.
Thanks guys.86 Coupe #110
