1980 olds firenza

Postby 80firenza » Mon Apr 08, 2019 10:53 am

Just bought a 1980 olds firenza in pretty good condition . Looking forward to getting advice , I’ve already found that it’s near impossible to find body panels or patch panels . Could use grills as well .once I learn to navigate this site I’ll have a better understanding of what I’m up against .

Welcome aboard! You'll here that pictures of your new ride (or project) are a must... :pook:

And yes, you'll find these cars are not very well supported by aftermarket, although some parts that were not available before are now starting to be made, like floor pans for example.

I’ve already found that it’s near impossible to find body panels or patch panels .


Not really...
H-Body cars are not exactly collectible. If you're not in a hurry someone is always cutting a parts car up for this and that panel/part. That said, because they are getting very rare H-Body owners have become Horders and keep stuff they normally would have recycled. With a little luck and patience you can find the part you need.
