[CCTALK] Car -- not exactly on topic

Hi guys, I wanted to write an email to the classiccmp list a few days ago asking for some advice on this, but I didn't think it would be very healthy for me given all of the complaining, and just plain nastiness people were showing towards anything even remotely not on topic. As it is, I hope that since this is going to the new list, I won't get too much animosity for asking. Please note that it's my respect for the opinions of the group as a whole that actually prompts me to ask here. So here it is: I know that several of us here have somewhat strange cars, and am looking for some parts, and just general advice to go with a 1989 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. Arguably on topic because it's got very prominent computers, which are more than 10 years old ;) -- but I don't really see many problems with the computer part. Rather, I'm looking for trim, a glove box latch, door handles, that kind of thing. If anyone knows where to get that kind of part, or what else I should check for the sake of the car's health, please email me. I could also use advice on removing small rust spots, cleaning the carpeting, protecting the leather, and anything else that goes with having a car. This will be my first car in quite some time.
