Question Ever tried to find that part for your car with no luck?

Hi guys,

Trust this finds you well.

Another iPhone post so sorry ahead for grammer issues.

Im wondering it there anything out there you guys have tried to source is the past that is basically impossible to find whether is be cosmetic or performance?

For example, Ive tried for sometime now to source clear indicator lights for the side of my EL XR. There use to be a guy on here distributing them but no longer has them.

So this being said, what have you guys come across in your journeys that is not nessesarly a show stopper, but something you've been eager to have for some time.

Look forward to hearing your replies.

I was looking for a eb gt boot badge for about 5 years. Finally found one on ebay 2 years ago and have also bought another one aswell for a spare. They come up quite regularly now, i think someone is making them.

Now i'm looking for the ones that go on the front door trims, i have never seen them except on eb gt's, so i may be looking for awhile.

Cargo Window rubbers for XA-XC wagons. I also hear that earlier falcon wagons window rubbers are just as hard. Nobody makes them, you just need to find a good 30+ year old rubber!
