Chris Do you still have 'em? Exactly what condition are these bumpers in? Do they have all the necessary bracketry etc to retrofit to a steel-bumpered 84? Is there an airdam? If so, and they're not totalled, I'd be interested, especially if you're in the LA area, where I can have them forwarded from in a containerload of car parts etc.
