Maybe even put a Union Jack on the roof -
but that might be a bit over the top
ya think?

 

:welcome:

I'd start with a local salvage yard, but being that old you might not have much luck.
Try these guys.

the local pick your part salvage yards here always have Deville's of this era, more sedans than coupes but most parts interchange. I visit on half-off sale days once per month. I doubt you will find a decent door panel in the color you want.. most armrests are shot anyway... consider recovering/repairing the one you have. The original "symphony sound" radios had a tendency to blow out the right channel... look for one with lower mileage so less hours turned on... the right channel is repairable for fairly cheap. The plastic cladding tends to break near the clips... I recommend epoxy if you have all the pieces.. dealers even used epoxy as an approved repair.

 

eBay motors.

 

This is just a taste: http://www.picknpull.com/check_inve...t=30.1712&Lng=-85.6376&Make=Cadillac&Model=DeVille&Distance=25000&LocationID=62. Is sad to see so many Cadillac in the yard. But on the bright side, it could work in your advantage...

 

All the parts you need are pretty common. Start hitting up junk yards and don't be afraid to ask them if they don't have the part if they can tell you who does. Wreckers have their own network that a lot are on and they can find out who has what.

 

Thanks all for the really useful tips. Much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what the best shop / repair manual I should get. There seems to be 3 options:
-GM's / Chiltons 1990-1998 Repair Manual
-1992 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Deville Shop Service Repair Manual - available as a book or CD
- Haynes Guide

Thanks

Mike

 

The Factory service manual is the only manual i would recommend. It is the only one to include all of the diagnostic procedures and codes. It will save you LOTS of time and money.

Example:

Second what he said ^^^^

 

Thanks guys. I am so glad I asked because I was about to buy the Chilton one. I bought the one you suggested.

Much appreciated.

 

You will find it the best investment you can make in your car. The other manuals hold less than a quarter of the info that the FSM holds!
