Looking for some parts, anyone have these? 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Sat Nov 2 16:05 CST 2002 [RELATED]

So the step-father of a friend of mine owns a towing company in Reno. Yesterday I drove up with a friend to Reno to go see a few of them (was told there was one Camry and one Volvo worth considering). The Camry ended up being a great parts car, but we couldn't get a title for it. The Volvo turned out to be two Volvos, IMO, worth considering.

The first one was an 88 764 Turbo. Driver hopped a RR track at high speed and dented the door sill, destroyed the driver's side strut and bent lots of the front suspension. Doors open and close fine, the tranny crossmember apparently bolted up with no fuss. The tow guys were able to put most of it back together, but haven't been able to locate (in their words): the strut assembly, caliper, rotor, hub, and one or two wheels. The struts are the same across all 700s, right? But what about the rest? I'm a 240 guy, so I'm unsure here.. but it looks like I need a 760 specific (read: expensive) hub/rotor/caliper combo. Are there any steel wheels that will fit? Anyone between the SF Bay Area and Reno have some of these items I could buy (I'm looking for used cause I figure most of this stuff save the rotors is probably safe to reuse, riiight?)?
