Hi, some of you guys may know but I was involved in an accident in my Carina a few years ago. I require a drivers side wing as the one on the car was quite badly twisted. Although the headlamp surround is present and cracked, it can still get repaired, same with the bonnet! The car is was well known in the TEC circle used to participate in shows within the club. Its Dark Green in colour (door shuts are more of a Turquoise colour) Reg starts with ABO. I have looked high and low for a wing whether it's new, used, rusty and have had no luck whatsoever, I've tried America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and any other place that you can think of! If can point me in the right direction or has one they would like to sell then please give me a call O7528 832 48 6. Thanks.

Hi Harvey thanks for that, I've been trying to make a Yahoo Account but it requires a Japan Postal Code, is there an alternative way to bid? Thanks |

The stuff I bought was done through the agent that Saj from "Jap Performance Parts" www.japperformanceparts.co.uk/ uses in Japan. Peter Hunter used Saj and his agent during the sourcing of the parts to rebuild his MS55 Crown after its accident a few years ago. I contacted him and gave him the items I wanted to bid on, his agent bids and he gets them shipped on the next container of parts he lands in the UK. From seeing the items I wanted to them being at my door took about 3 months. The panels I bought were very well protected in a custom wooden crate. Obviously he adds a fee for his services but his man is on the ball, the parts arrived undamaged. Hope this info helps |

Thanks for that!, I didn't realise he was a friend on Facebook so I'll definitely drop him a message once free and see if he can arrange something. It will be nice to get it back on the road after so long. There aren't many TA12s left especially on a K Reg, I can only think of one other which is the white one that makes a regular attendance to TEC Shows.
