I bought these for the 87 GN I am restoring, but things have been put on the backburner and i have decided to sell off the wheels- the car may be next. The front wheels are 17x8 with 235/45r17 and the rear are 17x9 with 255/45r17. The front tires have about 95% tread and the rears are brand new...

picture of the inside... Here is another picture.. There is surface rust as it has been out in the elements for a while. The rear floor pans are not good. The driver's side has a small pinhole of rust and the passenger side is good.

I just purchased what I originally thought was an 87 GN body and upon closer inspection appears to be originally a grey T-Type or Regal. The rear floor pans are the only rusty parts. The front floor pans are in good shape and the trans tower has all the mounts for the center console. It also...

I was looking around the other day in the south Houston area and came across an 87 Regal (possible GN) hardtop body. It is just the main body (no doors, interior, frame, trunk lid, hood, fenders, header panel). There is NO RUST anywhere! I was talking with the guy and he had originally bought...

Not something I have for sale, but I have found these and thought I would relay these finds on to the forum: I have been looking around for a donor for sheet metal and came across a Straight Rust Free GN Body (year unknown) locally. Too nice for me to cut up (found a running N/A donor...

it is in a million pieces... I have the most recent pictures on my car domain link. It seems like the deeper we dig, the more stuff we find. At this rate I may have been better off finding another car- but in the end it will be like new from top to bottom. I guess the best way to look at it...

Awesome.. Thanks for the info....never thought about swapping the front fender ( was just going to weld up the antenna hole on mine), but a direct swap sounds much easier.:biggrin:

how far back How far back can I go for donor sheet metal? What are the years that are interchangeable?

I have looked and looked and I cannot find any information on what body parts are interchangeable. I have an 87 GN that needs some donor parts to fix the body. I have located an 81 Regal without any rust fairly affordable. Are the quarter panels interchangeable? I know the front clip is...

picture.. as you can see, the outer wheelhouse is pretty mangled....I need a replacement one to ensure the quarter panel goes on correctly.

outter I need the outter (toward the wheel) with some overlap of the inner. Thanks

correct... Inside (toward the interior of the car) of the seam.

Found this on craigslist here in Houston: buick/olds door skin If the guy will not ship, I would be willing to pick up and ship as long as my fuel and shipping costs are covered.

cut I would prefer the cut to be past the factory seam weld, just to give me some room to work with. How much shipped to Houston, Tx 77083?

ttt anyone?
