Scored

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

Scored

Post by Briano1234 »

Went out today to my Fav-o-rite wrecking yard, and scored 2 brand new strut tower covers, and a brand spanking new (bright white) radiator return Jug, various clips and such.

Total cost 5.00 dollars including the entry fee. YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE, I guess that I need to go more often, for stuff that I don't really need but are cleaner and makes me happy to have an even cleaner looking car.

Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety.

I take it you visited the pull-a-part. One of these days I will make it down to that place. One of these days.

Sounds like a good find, and you can't beat the price.

The one in conely had 4 cabby's in april when i visited it. The one in norcross had a roco that was pretty stripped.

I love pull-a-part, and I think that the Eagle is going to be going there as soon as I can find the title.....No reverse.....

I found that "junk yarding" is the best way to get all those small, hard to get items.

It's one of my favorite pass times.

Finally got the jug installed. Looks a lot better than the yellow one I had.

Thank you, it was hard work lots of elbow grease, carb cleaner, soapy water, and scotchbrites. I have been working on it for the last year on and off, but when the doctor told me no heavy lifting, well I got out the scrub brush...... It is almost finished, I have a couple of areas that I can't get to unless I am under neath it. I don't like working on a dirty car it is as simple as that.
