I've found an '85 308 that needs some work, and there are parts that I cannot find. Specifically; window regulator & switch, motors for the side...

I also live in MN, and bought my 550 in '17. I recommend you learn as much as you can about the 500 - some very useful items already mentioned...
Terry, Thanks for answer, (you seem to be the one who most often gets back to me with answers/solutions - I appreciate it). For the record I have...
