Congrats on the purchase. What color is it? Sage was/is my favorite. Odd that the 2nd row seats were missing. You can usually find third row seats all the time. There was a guy giving away all his seats (front, middle, 3rd row) on MUD not too long ago. That may be worth a search. He was asking $0 for everything.

ThNks Diablo.. Seats gone cause she had German shepards that are like her kids, constantly with her.and a big F'up on my part... Meant to write that it is a 40th Anniversary not a collecter Ed.. Sorry.. I'll search for the seats..do you have any suggestion for the parts I need toe place?? Looking for good quality, not afraid to spend more $$ for better parts.. And in kit form so i don't have to find everything separate... Thanks again

Well fellas it's officially done!! I happened to seal the deal and found myself a 1997 collectors Ed with 189k.. And it was only 120 miles away.. Private sale, sweet lady I got it from was 2nd owner for the last 15 years.. Gots some bumps and bruises, and needs some attention under the hood with a few seals and gaskets but starts, runs, and still shifts like a champ.. I can't believe I can finally say that I am an 80 series owner!! and a Coll Ed at that..now the fun begins.. Anybody that won't mind me pestering them with a bunch of Q's please send me contact info... Lol... Hundreds of Q's running thru my mind rite now... My priorities rite now are these and if anyone can guide towards good quality parts for..
1.. Collector Ed front Leather replacements.. Front power seat small knob
2. Second row seats.. Came without them
3. Interior wood grain trim replacement..
4. Complete front axle seal, gasket, trunion rebuild kit OEM quality
5. Anything engine associated that is known to leak? Valve cover, crank seal, etc.. Anyone make a kit?

1. Reach out to @FloridaFJ80 I hear good things about his leather replacement.

4. And 5. Cruiser Outfitters Kurt and Brice are awesome vendors.

You should do an intro thread on the 8 tech forum and read the 80 faq. Lots of good info there

I'll see if I can find the vendors from previous searches/threads, but Yellow Jacket gave you some good info and the 80 Tech Forum is going to be a great place to start your search. Also, look in the Parts and Parting Out Classified sections to find missing pieces, like the middle row of seats and any other miscellaneous items you may need/want.
