This reminded me, I just stumbled into an early 90s Imp fwd looking for
parts for my van, it was pretty nice they say, they brought it there due to
failed air suspension. Unfortunetly it's been beat and banged around in the
yard, but still should yield some parts. It's at Hitt's wrecker service in
Weston WV, you can use the phone directory, or drop me an e-mail and I'll
try to slide over and see what is left. Could even probably be bought
complete, but it is a bit out of the way in the back.
