A Little Mishap In the Snow Today

Featured Replies

Went into a slow skid today and hit a car parked on my street. Punched a hole in my front bumper and smashed the lenses of my left turn signal and side light.

 

Need to replace all. I put an ad for the bumper in the "Stuff Wanted" section. Just thought I'd throw it out here too, unless that's not allowed.

 

Can anyone help?

What car and year?

 

pics? :grin:

 

86 GL 4WD wagon

 

This is the headlamp and the side lights. Side lights are crunched. Haven't inspected the assemblies yet. The bumper is just the stock front bumper for an 86 GL wagon, and possibly fits some other years' models?

you can likely get all 3 parts (lights and bumper) on here for between $25 and $50 total. Bumper will look the same in 85-86 but the 86 has more internal reinforcement

I sure hope so. How do I go about it, besides asking in the "Parts Wanted" forum?

I figured it covered more than just the one year.

 

I am in SW Washington. I know a bumper can't be shipped.

I think the '87 and later bumpers are the sturdier. They're the ones with the turn signals "underneath" the bumper instead of in the middle of it.

 

 

You can UPS a bumper if it's reasonably clean. Just wrap the mounting arms in cardboard and protect the wiring harnesses. Fedex definitely if not UPS.

I suppose anything legal can be shipped. Just thought it might be a pain for anyone not a professional packager/shipper to get one ready to ship. I wouldn't expect that from a regular guy/gal not in the biz. I'd be willing to pick one up if it was within reasonable driving distance from me. After our snow is gone, of course. :)

there is no way, no way in hell your in washington and hard up for subaru parts. But if you are i have the light and turnsignal you speak of. 30 plus shipping

I'm in WA. Fairly close to Portland. I'm striking out looking for parts. I'm a single woman, somewhat disabled, retired senior citizen. Don't get around to the wrecking yards much. Couldn't pull anything myself if I found the part(s).

Im sure someone in washington would be more then happy to help you out. It doesnt take that long to replace and like is said in washington, parts are ample.

I hope so. That would be wonderful.

i have all the parts you need in stock and can ship them as well, when the weather gets better that is, i have yet to make it to work in a week because of the snow/icy roads. once it clears i can send them out. maybe tomorrow, but with it dumping snow right now with the 5+inches on the ground i doubt i will be able to get in within the next few days.
