CGT smacked in parking lot

[Craig D. Niederst]

Just when I got my '86 CGT running pretty well, some idiot does a hit and
run job on it in a parking lot (or so my brother says, he had it when the
incident occurred). Unfortunately, it happened when he was not around, so
insurance will be no help here (he has high-risk coverage as it is, so
comprehensive is out of the question). Looks like some SUV or truck backed
into it, because the damage is only from the top of the front bumper up. It
needs a new driver side headlamp, side marker, center grill, aluminum trim
for along the bumper's top and probably a hood (yikes). The hood isn't badly
damaged, but it is pushed in and down about 3", so I doubt it could be
easily repaired. It looks like the "frame" behind the headlight and
surrounding area was also bent up pretty good, so who knows what kind of
damage lurks there. Looks like I will need to hit the boneyards and see if I
can come up with these parts, unless any listers out there would have some
of the smaller (i.e. easily shippable) parts on hand for a good price. BTW,
I live in the Pittsburgh area, so if anyone happens to have a cheap charcoal
grey hood available for a 4k or CGT within a couple hours driving distance,
that would be great. TIA.
