Well, apparently honesty once again, is over rated. I've gotta come up with 400$ by monday, otherwise I'm outta luck this semester with school. So, here goes, if anyone wants pictures I'll get them up tomorrow, it's been a long day, and I'm ready for bed.

Shocks and springs off the challenger, A2 VW GTi, I think they're kyb's and sportline springs, per the prev owner, I haven't pulled them off yet to check, but I'll be dropping the entire assembly and reinstalling the upgrades. 300.00 obo

Set of stock front struts for a A1 rabbit, Best offer,

Eibach springs 8x2.5 dia Various rates, 100.00 per pair, rates are 400, 400 in pairs. only 2 sets left, I think I may have the rates wrong, on these, I'll double check in the morning, there may be 350 and 400 pairs left. The guy I got them from told me there were two sets of 400's, pulling the two pairs out earlier I think I saw 2 pairs of 350's

Tokico illumina strut inserts, off a A1 vw, illumina shocks for the rear, don't have the adjusting knobs, and they aren't blown, I'm thinking 300.00 for the set, if I'm way off on this lemme know, I'm too tired to deal with dial up and researching prices. obo of coarse, I've offered dibs on these to another challenger, pending some measurements, so these may be taken. If you're interested lemme know, if he passes I'll let you know. These would also have threaded sleeve, on them.

I've got a box full of old headlights, mostly 4651's, 1 4656, and 1 5001. GE brand other than the 4656, and 5001. Picked them up at an auction, in a table sale. 5.00 each?

Got another box of oil filters from the same auction, haven't even opened them up to look at them prob have a bit of surface rust on the faces of em, 1.00 each if want em, lemme know if you're interested and I'll dig up part numbers tomorrow afternoon.

86 Rx-7 4 lug car, motor turns over, had good compression when I brought it home last year, was going to be this years challenger, but kinda lost momentum on the project, new slave cylinder, not even installed yet, and new (used) fuel pump, got fuel at the rail, it just wouldn't fire. Ran for a second on starting fluid, but haven't even tried anything else. 5 speed tranny. interior is in decent shape. dash vents are gone of coarse as are the FTP lenses, (I can get you one of them, but the other is gone off a friends car, for a fair price) I'll let it go for the 400.00 I've got in it, clear title. Red interior. That's actually in pretty decent shape.pics of when I brought her home

FC Parts car, I'll let this one go for the 200.00 I've got in it, has all the glass, I think the dash is there, 5 lug car, interior is pretty much gone. Does have the storage compartments where the back seats would go. yes the brakes are there as well. Was going to be the suspension donor for the above mentioned challenger. Grey interior.

94 Grand cherokee LTD, 350.00 takes it outta my yard, runs rough, trans doesn't like to shift once it warms up, and it needs a drivers door.

92 Bonneville SE Doesn't run, scrap value takes it.

I'm sure there's more I'll think of tonight, or tomorrow to add to the list

Almost forgot, the Giant purple people eater, 98 Astro, rear window needs resealing, ac doesn't work, engine likes to stall randomly 500. Was gonna say screw the 4.6 and drop a 4.8 or 5.3 ls in it, repair the ac, and use it as a dog/car hauler.

All prices are OBO + shipping. Lemme know guys, I'm just trying to get back into school. Apparently "Look, I screwed up last semester, (6 years ago) can I have another chance with financial aid?" Doesn't cut it. "you said it yourself, you have no appeal" was the answer. Grr, oh well. Like I said, honesty is overrated.

Have you tried ATF in the RX? The detergent breaks up the carbon holding the apex seals back. I got one or two running like that.

it had good compression when I brought it home, so I hadn't thought of trying to loosen the seals up

Nope, sorry, that was one part of the equation that was keeping it from getting the 5 lug suspension put on it, this way I can still roll it around.

Err lemme rephrase that, the 4 lug car has the stockers on it, and the 5 lug parts car is rolling around on 1 borrowed aero, 2 stock wheels, and a doughnut. I think, it may be 2 caddy wheels. instead of 2 stockers.

Hey guys I've replied to all emails, sorry for the delay, but when it rain's it pours, Had to replace the radiator in my wifes S-10 tonight. 135$ I didn't need to spend right now, but I wasn't going to try and patch a problem on her vehicle, we live in the boondocks, and the thought of her on the side of the road out here scares the bejezus outta me.
