Cutlass supreme Accident

[mickeypowa]

Hi guys !
I had an accident with my oldmobile cutlass supreme 1980 yesterday.
Thanks to god nobody was hurt.
Do you know where I can find the front of the car with bumpers and headlights ?
I have to change the radiator too, there was a leak of coolant
Do you think I have to change the hood and wings or it can be redressed ?
As I live in tahiti can be complicated to be delivered the big parts...
I go to florida mid november, do you know if there is a junk yard there where I could find the front part ?


Thanks!
Mickey

That sucks but it's good no one was injured. I would not trying to repair the hood and fenders, I would look for a complete front clip

The hood and fenders are the same for all g bodies ? Or I need to find for an oldsmobile cutlass supreme 1980?
And the front part, can I put another gbody calender ? Or I need the find the same ?

hood and fenders are not all the same but some do interchange, I think there was a thread about what interchanges and I'm sure some members will be glad to help you out letting you know what will fit your car.

depends what part of Florida you are going to. there are a few junkyards in south florida, but almost never have ANY gbodies at all and if they do, might have one random Monte SS picked to pieces.

central and North Florida seem to have a better selection

sorry about the car and glad no one was injured.

I would get a whole different car and use that one for parts.

From the look of the car is has very little rust and it isn't hard to change out the front clip. Plus he knows this car and with a new car you don't know what you are getting into

Yes I want to keep this car. And in tahiti it's pretty rare, there is no other exactly like this one !
The problem is to ship the front clip from us to here !!
Or if I find something in florida I could come back with a new bumper/front and headlights in oversize luggage...
And for the hood and fenders just redress them here...

OH, TAHITI!??

Well, that changes things just a bit.
