Hi guys!
I have a problem here in Finland once again, it´s been a while since I last time wrote here; I´ve built my 4dr Integra 1,5years now and finally got it ready to get to drive it again and during the first mile the hood popped up and destroyed my windshield. Of course the hood is also smashed. My car is a 4dr Integra, year model 1990, and I´ve been looking a few days now for the new parts from internet, but not found anything especially good. =/ Here in Finland we have three 90-93 Integras, it has never been a model which would have been brought here by some importer. One place in Finland can get those parts here, but costs are for hood 280€ and windshield 305€, I think those are together something like 700$ at least and I would have to wait them at least 4 weeks. Cheapest hood which I found from the internet was 107,26$ in U.S (in eBay, seller CarPartsWholeSale), but they haven´t answered me anything yet. So now I´m asking:
If any of you have an extra hood or/and windshield, I´m very interested in buying those! I´m quite sure that I´d get a free air freight from Finnair, my friends father is some kind of a boss there and promised me a freight for free..! So what I´m asking here is that IF some of you have those parts or even another of them, PLEASE contact me either to this thread or privately, I sure pay you a little bit of extra for the parts if you could deliver them to the nearest airport to you, and as soon as I have the info of which airport and day would be fine to You, I could ask from my friends father which flight they should be delivered in and then inform You about it; the sooner, the better. I´m really desperate in this situation, and wouldn´t like to miss all the summer because of broken windshield and hood. Thank you for reading, and if You don´t have those parts, ask your friends and everything like that. Thank you! Here are a few pics of what is coming, the page is in Finnish, but by clicking the picture you can get them larger. I´ll wait for your answers, and sorry again if my writing in english isn´t 100% right! -Ossi, Finland-

Continue; If any of you don´t have those parts to sell, do you have any recommendations of some "spare part car centers" which could co-operate with this, I don´t know how you call those places in english.. Thanks again!

 

They called Junk Yards for the most part hehe.. I MAY have a spare black hood from my old 93 - PM me tomorrow and ask me, I will look for it when I get home, if I have it, it is yours - no charge, But YOU gotta figure out shipping, cuz I aint payin

::Edit:: If I have it, keep in mind.. It has been hiding somewhere in my garage.. so Id say it is in FAIR condition.. IF..

 

I found the hood, But Something had been rested on it (thanks dad !!) and it got bent, pretty badly, If still interested, I will take pics and do whatever I can to make it back 2 normal.. But its almost as bent as a taco shell..

 

Hello DOHC_GS92! No problem, thanks for answering my post! Bad luck, that your hood is also bent.. I thought now to order those parts from our Honda importer here in Finland, I´ll get windshield in 5 days (294€), and hood in 10-14days (281€). Expensive, I know, but the schedule is now the most important, I don´t want to wait a month for those parts anymore.. I don´t know how fast they would be in here if I ordered them from U.S, but then there would be taxes and everything, and I think that I would spare only about ~100€ anymore total.. =/ So better to pay a bit more and get them for sure in time. Thanks anyway!

 

I would just buy a new car....how rare are they over in Europe?

 

Not so sure, three in Finland, and something like that in Sweden also I think.. In Russia I´ve heard Acura is more known, but a bit younger models I think. I´d say, in the whole Europe 2nd gen Integras less than 100.

 

I could not Imagine a world with under 10 Integras cruising around.. I would just die..

 

Yeah, well then you must stay either in U.S or Canada or Japan, I´d think. It´s quite nice to have a rare car, but of course it´s a bit like minus that spare parts must be ordered from somewhere else than Finland, and it takes time. But most of the usual parts like ball joints, wheel hub assemblys and so on have been the same than in Civic or Accord, which are well known models in here.

 

Well, hopefully you wont need too many more hard to come-by parts for your teg. Well,hope all goes well with it !
