85 Toronado
I'm a recent owner of a 1985 Brougham. Looking to learn some hints on restoring thi baby. Any part suppliers you can refer me to is appreciated. This will be a "piece by piece" project as the wife has limited my budget! Thanks in advance.

Are body & interior items what you seek ?.
In regards to new or repro stuff along those lines ...
About the only thing you will find are the bumper fillers & some new weatherstripping (if you're lucky) unfortunately.
USED is going to be your friend.
Start up a WTB thread with what you need - & get ready to start searching for an entire parts car - something in the scrap yards - swap meets - fleabay - etc etc.
You have your work cut out for you.
Hope you find what you're looking for ... the 79-85 Toro's are one of my all-time favorites.

These are great cars, but as previously stated, hard to restore. Most stuff you'll have to have rechromed, rebuilt, etc - no repro stuff out there - just hunt and peck and find things along the way - saw a set of NOS wire wheel hub caps at Carlisle last year - stuff is there, just not in the forefront.
I have an 84 Caliente - owned it for 10 years - still can't find a good digital dash cluster or someone to repair mine.
I have a lot of interior parts from a totaled one I parted out, and some odds and ends. PM me if you have specific needs.
Don't get discouraged -

Thanks
Thank you for the feedback guys. My first priority is bumper fillers and I think I found a source for those (Replica Plastics). Eventually going to have to replace the antenna, and maybe the radio/cassete.
