I can pay with Paypal but all packages have to ship via the USPS because UPS and FedEx cant get into my building because of the security gate. Thanks for reading. I can be reached at eric2802000@yahoo.com.

Don't have any recycling yards near you? If I were up to it, I could get all those parts if they haven't scrapped the 2 vans that were at my local recently.

As far as the wheels go, rust converting spray and some elbow grease/sandpaper would be the quickest way to clean them up for repainting.

Otherwise, I was just exposed to the molasses/water rust stripping method. 10-15 to 1 water to molasses in a plastic tub and you submerge the rims for a couple of days. A wire brush and a water rinse and they are rust free. Of course, dry and seal the freshly exposed metal right away with your favorite brand of paint and remount the tires. All depends on how far you want to take it.
A temporary fix usually becomes a permanent solution, therefore it does not exist.

Mirror glass can be had at any LAPS for in the vicinity of $10. Door handles are also available in the Help section of the LAPS.

Other parts you need should be available from a scrounging visit to your favorite JY.

Wheel idea: try putting black round rubber thingies on them.

Not sure if you are interested, but I am selling alloy wheels with good tires: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=13463

Let me know if you are interested. Looking at your blog you are located in Chicago?

edit: I'll be driving out the the Detroit area in February for a wedding, if that helps.

That's a ton of parts to sort out hope you find them all! I used to rebuild my 96 but takes a lot of time finding dash, seats and even some interior parts. I decided to just sell the whole thing by parting out its parts.
