I am finally getting around to fixing my car up. Its been sitting for about two monthes because of a blown engine and now that its running I wanted to fix my front end. I was wondering what years and what cars can I use to find replacment parts my car is a 1980

I would think that anything from 78 to an 82 Elky would do. THere could be some small differences here and there.

All 78-87 hoods will fit your 80. The 78-81 fenders are correct for your 80. They don't have the side marker lens the 82-87 fenders have. You could put the 82-87 fenders and header panel on your 80 but everybody here would know they're wrong and we'd bug you about it. For header panels see this link.

Thanks for the help But I might still use the ones from 87 that I got my 350 from

87 fenders on an 80???

Thats just WRONG!!

LOL

could be worse... he could be trying to fix a Ford.

The worst thing would be to fix a ricer :lol:

This will most likely be a temp fix till I can find the right parts and get some money. I am 17 high school students with a part time job. I'm doing good if I have money to keep her running.

P.S. Collection is starting here for my restoration project.

n1,
:D
You are in luck. I jsut finished a resto on my 82, and I have kept many parts from her. They were in good daily driver shape, but I wanted to get the "shiny new parts" feel. I have everything from bump absorbers to turn signals, to a decent grill. I'd be willing to part with them for a very reasonable price, as they are cluttering up my attic. I also have some good pieces of trim, and other body parts, as well as interior parts(dark blue). I'll give you a total list if you are interested. Also, Mike's Monte's (www.mikesmontes.com) hs some body parts very reasonable, even a header panel or two for real cheap.

let me know.
