Don't give up! I'm sure it can be fixed!

Rob
yeah!
I am sure it can. It blew me off so badly wasting another 4 hours that I had absolutely no courage to work on it further today.

It so happens that most of the hard fixes, become easier the day after...,

And finally I received a cool letter from the US. Apparently my D was sold through a Pontiac Dealer in N.J. named Maroon Pontiac.
Notice the sticker on my avatar right under the left tail light. Those stickers are reflecting the light, kinda cool for that era! So I contacted that dealer, now a Maroon KIA since pontiac is no more, told him my story and he replied.... With a new set of sticker of same quality but without the native head.... :(
