Hi Bill-

I think the spring is three leaf as the car is a 1.9. Dash is gone. I checked the front valance again, it was all bent up. I think the valance took a hit and then someone tried to pull the car around by it. Way too many kinks and creases and it was bent outwards in the middle almost 6". Even the radiator lower mount was almost broken off. Front bumper is bent a bit from whatever attacked the valance, bumper gaurads are good but they would need rechroming. It could be fixable, but it would probably be easier to find another. Gauges are gone as is the console, I think I sold them last year.
The grille I still have. I will send pics of it, the spring and the bumper.

I took the doors apart today. I have the window frames, window regulators, glass, lock mechanisms (but no exterior handles), and lots of the little plastic plugs that the door panel retaining clips pop into. No useable weatherstrip, but I have most of the little plastic retaining pins for them.

things to add to the list:
-dash ashtray
-glovebox lock
-little plastic plugs to fit the Kadett script to the body
-floor drain plugs
-some front seat upholstery with headrests (a couple of useable pieces, but they are a dirty white. If cleaned really well and dyed black I think they would come out pretty good or use to fix existing seats as the textured surfaces are intact.)
-front sidemarkers
-seat slider latch parts


Like I said before, the stuff everyone wants is either gone or not worth using, but I have alot of those little things that get lost.
