Morning all. My 94 base K11 we consider our workhorse. It's tows, roof carrys and interior is always full of various projects.
But it's still in great overall condition and we have maintained it well. Every month we get at least 2 folks knock and ask if we want sell it. This started maybe 3 years back and it's getting more and more.
We want to keep it and I'm seriously considering renovating it to a good standard. E.g a professional respray and replace any external trim that is decaying. But where to find the parts? Things like:
Window black strip .... rusting at ends
Bump strips .... have come loose a time or two and were glued back a bit uneven
Sunroof red press button ... one missing
Some dash plastic faded
Actually not so much but is there a special or a professional breaker .... you know the sort of place you see them visit on Wheeler Dealers or Salvage Hunter Classic car program ... blokes who have a shed full of old, new hard to find parts?
I also need restore the driver seat properly ... and maybe have the lot done if I can find a specialist who can match the original fabric. Again anyone know of anyone?
I think finding specialists who can source the parts is key to making this work. Would appreciate any sources, leads or contacts that could be useful. Thanks in advance
