That's not a '56, but most of the parts you're seeking can be found on eBay with a little patience. ;)

Really? Im not really familiar with these cars and its definately has been a learning experience. What year do you think it would be?
Thanks,Brian.

Hard to tell from your 2 photos, but looks like '58-'60 to me (assuming most body/trim parts are original). Knowing the VIN would verify it for sure. Looks like it's had a VW bug engine conversion done to it?

As for "headlight clips" needed, what exactly are you asking for? That type of headlight trim ring fits around the headlight bucket (outer edge) like a clamp, with the 2 ends of the trim ring held together with a screw in the center at the bottom.

Yes, there was a VW conversion done to it when I bought it a few years ago. It was headed to the scrap yard before I bought it.
As far as the headlight clips go, they are the ones that hold the headlight in. Probably about 4" long and clip over the headlight. I bought some a while ago, but they are for the Fiat 500 and are noticably smaller.
Also, are there springs that go under the wiper arms?
Thanks,Brian.

The spring-clips you want are Fiat part #4014564, used on the later-model Fiat 600 & 600D, as well as Fiat 850 Spider. One USA parts vendor has them listed here: http://www.fiatplus.com/head-lamp-retaining-spring-c-10578-p-3-pr-276717.html

Yes, the spring is often incorporated into the arm itself. There are a few variations (makers) of the wiper arms, though.

I checked my parts stash this morning & found that I have a few extras of these clips. 4 clips are needed for each headlight - how many do you need?

4 would help me out a lot. Pm me how much you want and I will arrange payment.
Thanks,Brian.
