-27 celcius with a -35 windchill this morning. Better than the near whiteout conditions we had the other day. Had 5 inches of fluffy snow with 70km/h (42 mph) winds

Thanks for the link 7T8. I see they have roof rail seals listed as well. Guess a shopping list is in order. Jeff

Hi. Does anyone know the size and length for new pins? This is for a 2 door Volare Thanks Jeff

I would also not be using tires from the 80's. Maybe on a wagon around the farm but certainly not on a road. The rubber decomposes over time. They may look good but its an accident wsiting to happen

You can still get blue silicone coolant hoses. Not sure they will match what youre looking for. I use them regularly on my peterbilts. Napa should have them. Jeff

Nice score Dale. What neck of our woods did you find that? Jeff

Hmmm that might be an idea. Ill have to look into it. I think il coat it with epoxy primer before anything in an effort to prevent future rust on the floor. These things seem to rust at the mere mention of moisture. Jeff

Does anyone make seat foam shaped for f bodies or does it have to be shaped? Jeff

2300. Figured its a fair price since the body is so nice. Going to check with Sms fabrics if they can match the plaid seat material thats torn. Some dynamat for the floors then new carpet

Thanks guys. Its a Manitoba car. Actually its from B.C. It was brought here not long ago. Seems like it was garzged rdgularly and has been parked the last few years. Starts right up and no unusual noises. It looks quite decent. Jeff

Hi. My son picked up another Volare. Looks quite clean. Slant, auto. Ps, pb. Once we get it home its into the garage and go through everyghing so its ready for spring.

Hi Dale Sorry for the late reply. I got the springs re-arched but still looking for a couple doors for 2 door. Not sure I want to pull them off the parts car as its in decent shape. Jeff

Not sure Dale. Havnt looked at it yet. Allied is closed till the new year so I can check then. Jeff

Good to know Thanks. Guess I should have looked closer.

Saw this listed Dale. Was going to look at it but I got a bad first impression

So theres no gasket / seal between the glass and body? Jeff

Hey guys. Any suggestions on who may have windshield seals? Im hesitant to pull out the old glass and have the seal fall apart. Jeff

Nice thing is that this one is new. Now Im not sure when it was made but at least theres less chance of incurring damage like on a used one. Be nice if they are still producing them. Jeff

$400 Canadian plus taxes and install. Thankfully insurance covers most of it. Not sure if they are still available or if I got lucky. I may have found doors in Saskatchewan . If not then the spare car gets raided I guess Jeff

Hi Dale I actually spoke with Al at Allied today. He had an new one in the crate. Didnt realize it but he does mpi glass replacement too so its getting done under insurance. Now if I can find 2 coupe doors I wont have to rob the ones from the 80 Aspen I just bought a few weeks ago. Thanks Jeff

Thanks guys. Im in Manitoba so will have to look around. My parts car is cracked as well. I was hoping that perhaps Pilkington or some other still produced these. Its frustrating that I can get stuff for my 58 Chev but volares are ignored. Jef

Hey guys Are these still available for 2 doors? Or are the 4 doors the same? Rock Auto lists as not in stock for 2 doors. Jeff

Hi Dale. Havnt looked any closer at it so not sure how the rest is. He likes his 77 so may swap some parts. If I could find a couple coupe doors then this one may stay complete. Jeff

Looks like the rail. I just had a quick look but didnt check the floor. Floors Im not worried about as thats repairable. Are rail portions available?

Well guys it looks like part of the frame is bad. Below the drivers foot area is rotten from mud etc collecting there. Im guessing that replacements are not available so looks like it might be a parts car unless someone has suggestions.
