    Hey there!

    Lowsquire, Nooch and I are trying to get Nooch's Pontiac on the road and are chasing front end parts (a tie rod end, sway bar rubbers and the like).

    Can anyone tell us if the Pontiac and Chevy 210 use the same front ends? That sure would make getting bits and pieces easier!!!

    Did you guys get funny Poncho's like the Canucks? If so, most everything is the same as the Chev.

    And if it is a USA model, what of the interchange then? No dice?

    If it's a USA model, all that interchanges is gl*** and doors between similar models; i.e., both two door sedans. The front suspension and frame design was completely different between the two makes.

    Thanks A-man - haven't had time to post this question up myself but I can throw some photos from the other day up to give people some kind of idea! If we can source these parts we should be rolling in no time :)

    Also attached - a photochopped version with the windscreen cut down the way I want it - what do y'all think?

  8. Ahh..so that's where you ***s have been!

    Ring American Car Parts for the parts you're after. They MIGHT be able to help. They should be listed in any Unique Cars or Just World Cars.

    BTW Nooch, that thing needs a roof!

    This is Len Vodic's car in Adelaide last December....the year before Len was sitting on the parcel shelf playing Santa! A cool roof CAN be added.

    Carson tops are the Pontiac God's gift to the *******! Who cares what others think as long as you get to enjoy your ride all year long?!

    CPR is MIGHTY $$$$.....believe me, as of late, I KNOW!:rolleyes: ........

    Looks good and it's such a treat to finally see that thing in someone else's shed/garage instead of yours.....means it's MOVED, even if that means it was pushed.:D Course what am I laughing at?:eek:
