Looking for wrecked cars/Calibra leathers

[Kippa-Dee]

Hey all.

I want to convert my Corsa's front seats to Calibra Leathers. Where might I go about finding a wrecked Calibra and taking the seats out myself?

More to the point, where might I go about finding a genuine WRECKER? I want to find a car-yard that offers truly wrecked vehicles, ones to be destroyed, that I can pull worthwhile parts off?

I'm fed up with calling up numerous car places, getting told "Yeah mate, we have the part for $x", and calling up a place with BRAND NEW parts and getting them for $.95x.
I'd rather save the damn fuel and hassle and buy it brand new than saving 55cents and buying second hand.
Any advice/tips/hints as to where I can find these guys so Ic an get a good price is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

you can try bennet or kumbac but all the cally owners steal the cally interiors and 6 speed transmissions... both these places probably have waiting lists for them :P but no harm in trying

One dude (Simon a.k.a SimID) paid about $1k for leather interior but that required a bit of effort to get in coz the base of the drivers seat was bent from the impact and the door cards were damaged and he had to chop and change bits from the stock to the turbo...

The leather interior only came on the Cally T in australia, and i saw a thing with the numbers of callys that were exported around the world... and this thing reckons there were only 134 cally Ts (excluding private imports) sent to australia... i think that might be an underestimate... but it would probably be better, cheaper and easier to get them reupholstered.

have u thought about a retrim ???? or some front buckets insted if u are going to spend a grand

[MatsHolden]

Yeh I think a retrim or new front buckets (Recaro's maybe not $$$) would be a more realistic option than Calibra seats.

i seen a pair of front bucket leather seats the other day for $600...

i got a cally turbo but was tempted to buy these as i could prob sell mine for the same but wouldnt have heated seats lol
