Might be OT - But HELP needed

Max,

Thanks for a sensible answer and yes you are quite right roof racks etc has necessitated the need for new so I can sell.

Cheers
Debbie

96 GXL 80 series,

I did check out my local (close to home) Crash Repairer this afternoon, not really interested told me to go to CMI Toyota. Which is why I thought I would post this thread, thanks for reply I never thought of Recyclers etc, will check them out. Noticed your handle, exact model and year of mine, don't want to sell me your silver trim LOL.

Cheers
Debbie

Hi Debbie R,
another one to try is someone that does stripes and trims on cars.

No not interested in giving you my trim, but if your good looking we might be able to mate them.

96,

Yeah cute!!!!! (don't know what hubby would think). I was actually hoping that someone out there would know the name of the guys (mobile) that go out to the car yards and repair all the trims on trade ins etc and do the decals. I know they exist, I just don't know what they call themselves.

The suggestions I have got so far have given me something to start with though and I really appreciate the help so far.

Cheers

Have a look under Motor Trimmers or contact a window tinting mob and they might be able to put you onto someone.

Another option is a windscreen place as they need trims at times.

If hubby objects let me know? that will let me know how good looking you are hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Is it Dents are us or something like that.

96,

Without blowing my own trumpet, I know when he gets home from work in morning his first reaction will be a huge smile and a definate " I suppose I had better say NO WAY".

But thanks for the further suggestions I have the yellow pages out right now and taking notes.

Hey Laura,

Congrates on the new vehicle looks great. I thinks one side of ours went west on the way up to Flinders Ranges about 3 years ago. The other side was pulled off in frustration, if I remember correctly. Would just like to spruce her up a bit, might entice someone to buy it. LOL

Thanks
Debbie

Selling ours too...!!

Laura

Phil,

IMO (female), no I'm not 100% happy although if I got some touch up paint and fix where the roof racks have been on and off that may help. But if I were to buy it I feel the silver trim would make it look much better. Cosmetic I know but !!!!!

I have a few more avenues to try tomorrow so I'll see how I go.

Debbie

you know what women are like Phil....there no good till they put on their face....same with the car i suspect

Yeah good one aye Only a guy could think of that one.

Give you 10 points for that.




Just remembered Laura's has the trim missing as well so back to the drawing board - will have to deduct 9 points for the typical short memory loss.

Have you checked the car yards out to see if they have any 80 series for sale.

Take the one with all the trims for a test run.

Here you are Debbie.

Chips away, give them a try.

Hey 96GXL80 series,

Thanks for the suggestions and the effort you put into helping out after hubby had his sleep today (worked all night) he made a few phone calls and has a chap coming out to our house next week to put on new trim, is one of those guys that goes to Car Yards.

Once again thanks

Debbie

Good news Debbie,
hope it all works out for you both.

Let us know as sombody else like Laura might be interested as well.

PS. It will look like a car with new chrome earrings, so you won't need your make-up on hahaaaaaaaaa

Hey 96 GXL 80 series,

Like that one made me laugh!!!

Just want to make it sparkle to catch the eye of some one to buy it. The chrome earrings should do the trick and yes I will post a follow up to this tread next week after the job done to let every one know to keep in the memory banks.

Two Crusiers in the drive way is peeving me off - I want to down size my drive vehicle to a Suzki ( I know small in comparsion) but I reckon I could have some fun in it. Then use hubby's Cruiser for bigger things in the bush. Thinking perhaps will save money on fuel so we can go away more often. Should not have agreed to the purchase of the second one before the sale of the first (still have a Ford sedan in the garage as well - home looking like a Used Car Lot), but can't stand grumpy gentlemen.

Cheers

Debbie, I understand what you mean re cars.

I sold my toy {Ford} that had to play with for 15yrs 2nd owner of it from new, You think the 4.5lt is heavy on fuel, the Ford used 80lts for 200klmts so I sold it to buy the 80 series and still have another 4WD in the garage as well.

I think that we might be like you though and hang onto it for around town and light 4WDing.

On the news tonight they said fuel was going to hit $1.50 a lt for ULP before Christmas.

I bet in the country we will be up to about $1.69 + per lt by then.
