I'm looking for a decent parts yard in the Hartford area... my '89 245 is running beautifully, but the driver's seat is collapsing, the dash is cracked to death, and the carpet has cigarette burns from the old lady who abused it before I bought it. I'd love to switch from the vinyl to a cloth interior, but I'd be happy with a decent carpet and a new seat. Any suggestions?

Try Pandolfe`s on Christian lane Berlin/Newington. They may have another place on Saybrook road Middletown/Haddam. Take a cruise around any industrial area body shop-you might find something laying around. Look in the book and call around if you don`t have much time. Watch your post as there are a few other people who live in CT that are regulars here and can give you more references. Good luck.

Try Chuck and Eddies...multiple locations. you would probably got to the one in Southington. I often go to the one in New Haven (exit 8 right at end of ramp and right onto first street) and this is probably onlly 35 min from Hartford.

Good Luck.
