I've decided to part out my '82 GL 4WD.  Its been sitting in the back yard (in Central Texas) for 10+ years and the interior and exterior are both pretty rough -- but there may be some parts you need that are in decent/working condition.  It's got an EA-81 engine with ~260,000 miles; both the interior and exterior are blue.  That is a custom-made Class 3 (2" square) hitch on the back.  I have additional spare parts for the vehicle including extra wheels and cylinder heads.  I'm keeping the cyclops light but everything else is available. 

Let me know what you need and we'll see if we can work something out. 

Thanks-

I need a torsion tube with good outer bushings, but shipping one is difficult, and it'd make your car a non-roller if you pull it.  I could use a blower motor and blower motor resistor, an ignition switch, a rear wiper motor, and the long chrome plastic trim around the rear hatch button, if it isn't broken off its standoffs like mine is.  Looks like you don't have a/c or cruise parts.  But, I only need those as spares, as mine are currently mostly working, so give anyone who has a broken car priority.  Well, not having my wiper return to bottom automatically is getting pretty annoying...

Someone posted recently looking for windshield wiper arms; you could message them.  Also, someone was looking for a driver's side rear door, if yours isn't rusted out at the bottom.

Struts, rear CVs, and brake calipers are all NLA and in demand, but I just ordered struts (if I actually get them, I'll be posting how!), and I already have a spare cv and a pair of extra-crusty calipers.  If your radiator is nice, they're also impossible to get.

 

Sweet ride.

bushytails, thanks for the response.  I'll start pulling the parts you need this upcoming weekend and will contact you directly once I'm able to see what kind of shape the parts are in.

My daily driver has about the same amount of rust...  the secret is mine is the dark metallic red, which hides it!

Thanks!

I just remembered that, being a DL, your ignition switch won't fit my GL, unless you have the optional tilt column.

 

bushytails, mine is a GL as well, so I don't think compatibility should be an issue.

A 2-headlight GL?  That's a new one for me!  It's a tilt wheel difference...  The correct switch is on the left side of the column, and has a maybe 9" long wire pigtail with a pink 6-pin connector on the end.  The one with no pigtail, from non-tilt columns, or with a black connector, from other vehicles, won't fit.  Ask me how I know.  lol

Thanks again!

 

I want the wiper arms! Front struts any good??

egowing, I'll pull the wiper arms tomorrow - I'm assuming you want the fronts and back?
