Help finding parts

[spike46]

Hi Everyone

Long time lurker (2018), First post.

I have had my 04 CV8 in pieces for a few years and have just got back round to getting it back together hopefully for the Nürburgring next year!

I am struggling to find some pats that I require one being the rear crash bar, mine is very rotten I have found some front ones but never been able to find
a rear, or is it a matter of getting one fabricated as I feel a second hand one could have the same issues.

Another thing I am struggling to find is the under side sill clips which has a spacer and Phillips head screw (pics included), I have spent hours trying to find these!

My last question would be is there a recommended fuel pump and driveshaft upgrade as I have both the tank and diff out on the floor.

All your help and input is much appreciated in advance

Probably the best bet on getting a rust free bumper support is usa ebay for a gto one

Driveshafts....as recommended above. I'll be trying some of the RockAuto ones next year. Seem very cheap.
I don't think Pedders can supply theirs anymore.

I got some rockauto driveshafts , they haven't been on particularly long, but they fitted up perfectly.

Oh excellent! They are cheap aren't they. Have they removed some of the slack in the drive train?
Did you go for the 04 ones? I'm assuming you need do nothing but literally bolt them on? No messing with grease and such?

They shipped with the grease in a bag and I had to pack the joints, but not really a problem. I replaced them because I broke an original CV joint.
