John,
Sorry about your troubles with Victoria British. Since you mentioned you
had your car towed off the Mass Pike can I assume you are in Massachusettes
or at least in New England? Any way. I purchase most of my mailorder from
Special Interest Car parts in Johnston RI. They can be reached at
1-800-556-7496. Most orders are shipped the same day you place the order
and will arrive in 1-2 days. They SHip UPS. The point of alll this is if
you live with in 1-2 hours of Johnston RI you could save the shipping costs
and pick up body parts, which would mean you could inspect befor purchase
etc!!!!!!
