    Where do you get them?

    Just curious as to where you guys get most of the parts for your cars??
    I would be totally lost if Green Sales did not exist, followed by NOS Ford Parts, and some others that at the moment I have forgotten:-(

    The only part I was not able to get NOS from Green was a new heater core, but they did have a new blower motor!

    All for my 1986 MGM Tudor.

    Junkyards and ebay, depending what you need. Sometimes its a matter of finding a compatible part from another model that you can get. Anything that also fits a Mustang is easy, though sometimes you have to do some experimenting and research to find out what crosses. Trunk seals for example are just Mustang seals with a little trimmed off the length.

        I get most my parts on RockAuto if it isn't an urgent repair and I have time to spare. If not, I usually buy from O'Reilly's or AutoZone (whichever is cheaper). Any body trim or obscure pieces come from the junkyard. Only NOS bit on my car is the TV bushing.

            I get most of my new parts from Ebay,Rockauto or if I cannot wait Carquest. I get most used parts from people I know in other states who get them from junkyards. Ebay also a source for used parts.

              check out the weather seals threads... there's listings around for replacement door seals.
