Yeah I definately am getting rid of that.
UUGH, it arrived yesterday. It needs alot of wiring, the blinkers (front and rear) some don't even have wires going to them.
I ripped the dash apart and saw that the wiper arms underneath the dash aren't even connected to the motor.
Its gonna need new gaskets all around...alot of leakage.
Probably going to need a new dashboard and gage cluster, that is the worst part of the car.
Underneath is solid, frame, floor pans and all of that.
The turn signal lever is broken and just flops around in the steering column and the horn is missing.
How hard is it to get parts, used or new? Is there a catalog or something?

Year one will sell a lot of the parts you are looking for.

things are coming along. We rewired the Duster, all of the lights work, dash components, wipers, the interior has been redone, I upolstered the dash pad for now, I repainted the dash Plum Crazy and added a newer rally dash, we patched and undercoated the floorpans, the only thing electrically left to do is to find the harnesses for the lights that go on top of the fenders, the small blinkers, (I dont remember what they are called), and a new sending unit from the gas tank. I am installing the MEEP MEEP horn as well.
Next we are rebuilding the 340 motor, gaskets and going to go over the transmission.
I made another post about the brakes because there are issues there and I have a bunch of questions but in a separate post.
