    I knew it was a matter of time and the time is here. A lady in a BMW X3 took away my right of way and my 84 Century wagon is damaged. I will be looking for NOS parts and I will work with the collector car insurance company in paying for them. Looking for a front header, front bumper and bright trim, RT fender with reflector and bright trim, RT head light bezel with lower grill trim filler, later model wire wheel cover, RT front wheel opening mouding, and a RT front fender. Not a good time for me please help if you all can, AL.

    Sorry to hear that AL!!! Most body shops have access to an on-line parts locator. If you know a shop they may help you. Also, you might be better off buying a whole 84 Century. I assume the wagon front is the same as the sedan. Something to think about.
    Again - sorry!

    - Bill

    Thanks Bill. I will be looking for NOS because of the condition of the car, AL.

    You can look up the part numbers you need HERE. It's easier to search for part numbers on the web than searching by description.

    You can use the numbers to search GMPartsDirect.com, oldbuickparts.com, or just Google the number and see what comes up.

    Al, sorry to hear about your misfortune. Maybe once you fix it you should consider keeping it in protected storage except for special events, although I'm sure you're tempted to drive that beast a lot. I assume you have agreed upon value for your ride?

    Just a thought and good luck....

    It's not going to bad to repair and no major damage just cosmetic, AL.

    Link works for me. www.compnine.com I'm not sure if they sell parts or just offer reference on the web.

    I did see that and when I tried to add it to my basket it said it was the left side :Do No: . I will call them about this, there is a mistake some where, but if it works out you will be rewarded! I'll let you know, Thanks! AL.

    I don't blame you for calling to make sure. As a general rule of thumb on GM parts that have a left and right side, it's right hand if the last digit in part number is "even", left hand if last digit is "odd". I have seen a few exceptions, but it's usually pretty reliable.

    No rewards for me, thanks! If any one gains monetarily, it should be V8Buick.

    I called about the lens and they are sending the right (passenger's side) , just had it wrong on the web site. If anyone sees a 83-88 mint front bumper for a Century for sale or some where used please let me know. Also looking for a nice front header with no cracks of repaired damage. I'm looking for the best I (or you all) can find, AL.

    You might want to give TriCityPlating a call or send them an e-mail to ask about a bumper. Contact info is on their web-site, as well as the schedule of shows that they will be at this year.

    I can not find a good front bumper for my 84 Century wagon. Can't even find a front head light header panel. I've run out of steam in looking, AL.
