    Hello there fellow Buick enthusiasts, my name is Aidan, I am a 1970 Buick Skylark Custom Sport Coupe owner who lives in Queensland, Australia.
    <o:p></o:p>
    I have attached a pic it is a triple green car, Seamist Green metallic. All vinyl notch-back bench seat, tilt column, AC, power steering, power drum brakes.
    <o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
    I am chasing bits n pieces, many I guess. Ill start with just the front end of the car, am looking for:
    <o:p></o:p>
    ● 1970 Front bumper brackets and indicators (incl. mounting hardware for all) I am actually chasing the front bumper too, as minehas a 71/72 bumper, but figured too big & heavy to ship. Might purchase a fibreglass unit so figure front bumper brackets and the indicators will do the trick...?<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    ● 1970 Front grill (mine has a rough 72 grill) & mounting hardware either standard Skylark or GS. Must say would really like a GS grill!<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    ● Screws & spacers for the front headlight bezels my car has incorrect house rawl awl plugs and screws installed (?!)<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    ● Grill support bracket with hood release mechanism mine is damaged at bottom (bent, due to damage at bottom of the radiator core support)<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    ● Radiator core support a big item I know, and reproduced new but I will throw it out there. My car has a 71 support (doesnt bother meat all) but is bent/damaged kinda badly at the bottom.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p>I have more odds n ends required but I thought I would start with the above. If anyone can help you guys can. Thanks a lot, from a fellow classic American car enthusiast down under. Cheers, Aidan <o:p></o:p></o:p>

    I've got some used core supports. How would shipping work? Do you have a FedEx account so I could just wrap it up in cardboard and drop it off and they bill you?

    Brother, I have almost all the items you need minus some screw and such. Bumper, GS grille (repairable), core support etc. All are not new condition, but useable and OEM.

    Let me know.

    Thanks Kerry. I actually have a shipper contact in Long Beach, California (I imported my '73 Century Green Gold 2-door through him). He said he can ship parts for me also, so looks like I can purchase large items too and ship them to a US address. Sweet

    Hi lads, some more pictures of my Skylark, might enjoy them. I now have the interior fully stripped out, and will get the seats recovered with correct covers from Legendary Interiors. Parts required list nearing completion (just been so busy with work lately), thanks again.
