Steering Column

[Jeff Blagden]

So yesterday the first day I had my car out and went to work come out and someone tried to steal my 1980 442 smashed the door lock smashed the steering column cant drive it . Does anyone if they make an after market steering column or does anyone know where I can get one thanks Jeff from Winnipeg

There are some aftermarkets out there. I looked at them some time ago and really was not impressed. Boneyards would be my first suggestion then see if you can get parts to fix it. I will tell you that is is a bit of a chore to to, When they were stealing these cars a lot years ago I fixed many of them. You will need some special tools.

Maybe O. D. Showtime might have access to one for you.

Yeah Maybe it is going into the insurance compound today to be looked at hopefully I get good news thanks for responding have a good day Jeff from Winnipeg

 

[O. D. Showtime]

Hopefully MPI isn't anything like our SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance) here they'd try write it off.

Case in point...a few years ago my daughter bought a 2001 Cavalier Z24 with 54,000 km on it, drove it about 6 months until a guy backed into it, damaged the hood and broke the headlight. They wrote it off!....I argued up and down but they wouldn't budge. I bought it back found a same color hood and put a headlight in it and she drove it for another 5 years before selling it.

Yeah they don't like old cars but I do have an appraisal a year ago for $20000 us so I have that in my back pocket

With that you should have no problem at all.
