THE COBRAMAN said:Yeah, the wife and I had a discussion about this, I said the sad part is that some fool probably bought them and is going to paint them black.
I thought about that too last night (still bothering me) and i wrote to the seller first thing this morning and asked him if he could send my email address to the buyer in the event he may want to make a little profit since it is christmas time. i don't know if he will or not (i hope), anyway, it would kill me if some f'n nutcase sprays those panels
I really hope you guys are talking about hatchback panels- not ghia panels, because I had really good sparkling clean white panels (though not NOS) in my ghia that I chopped up doing my convertible project. It occurs to me now that I should have asked if anyone could have used them and I could have cut up some less than perfect ones instead. 
I promise I won't wreck another good II part without telling you guys first...

If all else fails there are some proffesional shops that can do magic on old plastic interior parts. This shop in Calgary has done some amazing restorations on chewed up dashes and stuff: http://www.crtechniques.com/ Just check out some of the sample pics.
May be cheaper and better than NOS

Yes, the rest are talking about the hatchback panels. I decided I better start getting the word out that I need some for my Ghia. Probably can not afford NOS, just need some good used ones. The ones in my car were covered probably to hide cracks in the arm rest.
I guess if no nice white ones show up I will resort to using standard coupe panels and vinyl dye. Would also love to find some nice white seat backs.

I am sorry as well, I know where you are coming from about work being crazy. Am there myself. I should not have responded so rudely and been more understanding. Thanks for the help on the coupe panels, I would appreciate any and all help I can get and will keep an eye out as well.
Interior parts
I need some help. I know some of you guys up north do the salvage trip thing, and I'm having problems finding parts for a (non-II). I need some of the interior plastics for a '80 Malibu 2-door. Unfortunately, the sun and summer temps down here are not kind to the plastic used in these (just like II cargo panels). If anybody recalls seeing some of these in the yards, and would be willing to check it out, I'd be grateful. Since it's not II-related, feel free to use the email link below (PMs never seem to work for me).
