What's left of another 82 CHP

The whole car was in a wrecking yard a few years ago and my dad tried to get people to save it. My dad couldnt as he didnt have the money to make another trip to buy it and haul it back to oregon. He got some parts off of it atleast. Rear seat back, front bumper, door panels, interior quarter panels, and buck tags. No pictures of the whole car as cameras were not allowed in the yard

The car appears to have been painted maroon/dark met. red with black lower bumpers before being sold by the CHP. Then there are 3 or 4 other paint jobs on top of that. The parts will go on my dads 82 0300 and possibly the one he is trying to get.

You can see the door panels up front and the quarters in the back (this is stuff I cleaned out of a shed my dad had full of stuff. He wanted it cleaned up. I found more of his equipment stash

)

Washed the seat. It cleaned up nicely

When my dad finds the tags, I'll post those up too

Just thought I would post this up.

That's sad.

Nice clean up on the seat back. That is in remarkable condition.

What's the best way to flatten those door panels?

My dad thinks the reason he didn't get bottom seat is because the foam was soaked in oil, but I too was impressed at how nice it came out.

Get the back board wet on the panels and set them out in the sun(or next to heater?) with something heavy on them to flatten them out.

did this method work out for you? my original 89 panels are warped on some areas. Do i need to remove the cover of the panel to get it wet or leave it as it is and wet it and do the method like you described?

You are better off removing and replacing the boards.

where can i find boards to replace? i mean, is there a kit for that?

No kits that I've heard of.

Try Matt at FMR. He's restoring door panels now.
