Looking After Little Thing

[Messiah]

Hi All,

r

I've recently been working on cleaning up the interior of my 33 gtst, replacing the boot trim, fixing dash lights etc etc and i've found that my car is missing a range of screws, bolts and fasteners from all over.

Does anyone know of a good place to source things like the screws that hold the dash panels on or the plastic screw things that hold the boot trim in place. I want to avoid getting screws with the wrong thread or end size and places like bunnings dont really stock screws that are suitable for auto uses.

Also while i'm at it does anyone have any pictures of what the inside of a 33 gtst boot looks like from factory, my boot carpet seems to have all sorts of odd holes in it and there looks to be far too much access for things to dissapear into the quarter panels (although i think i've fixed this with a nifty carbon fibre boot floor i had made up ... pics of that to come ) so i'm wondering if the previous owner went a bit scissor happy.

if you go somewhere like autobarn they ususally got panel packs with all those sorts of clips and shit if you got a few different ones to get take in one of each so you know which ones you need they got all sorts

i know supercheapauto has a thread tester im guessing at every store... just take the screw in with you and you should be able to find one witht he same thread size / length.

Stuff that.

Find someone who has finished wrecking their car.

Give them $20.

Turn up with a screw driver & a few spanners.

Go nuts.

I remember stripping a BB4 Prelude that i managed to write off when i was young. I put every bolt into a bag. And when i sold the motor/box combo i put the bag of bolts on the pallet. I think it was about 20kg worth! Biggest mistake. Those would have come in handy
