Zen in the junkyard

In reply to Stampie :

Grab that funky triangle air cleaner for me too.

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

Maybe we can jello wrestle for it?  I was thinking of grabbing it also.

Do i have to wear pants?

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

Optional?  Depends on how much you want/trust me to grab/not grab.

Last Saturday was All-You-Can-Carry day at 109 in Winston. 75 bucks I got a few steering wheels, airbags, various interior bits from toyotas, and a set of Motegi MR7 wheels...which I promptly flipped at 140 bucks ha

I love the junkyard, it's nice seeing various things from various cars

Saw an Midget with a BMW engine this morning. Sounds like something I would do.

Hit the south Atlanta pull-a-part this morning because I got an auto text notification that a 15-18 mazda6 was new on the yard. I need a driver's seat or seat bottom cover to replace one with a rip. Struck out but found my sleeper wagon.. sleepin.   

Pick N Pull sent me an email that this weekend is 50% off everything. Unfortunately, all of my vehicles are getting too old and I can't find much for them in the yards anymore.

Man that one is saying "take me home I'm a keeper!!" Looks in decent shape.

In reply to Stampie :

I noticed this in the picture of the 63 Galaxie. Did you pick them up?

In reply to MyMiatas :

Those were mine. I still have them. 

This is one of my alltime favorite threads and continually keep up with it.

Here's some shots from a few months back when I had a job down in Ocala --- always try to visit yards when I'm out on the road and really love the mom 'n pops because there ain't many of 'em left it seems to me as they get bought out by the big fish.

That van was pretty fantastic!

I don't see motorbikes in the yard very often so that was neat to see.

And I'm not used to seeing batteries still in the car:

My primary goal is R50/R52/R53 so that's always first order of business on my visit before zenning out on all the other stuff.

I did some junk yard therapy this week. It was a lovely day and I spotted this

That would be a great project

Absolutely. Sad to see it end up there. I've tried to get them to sell a couple cars but they won't.

While visiting relatives, we checked out Nevada Pic a Part in Henderson NV (Las Vegas). Nicest yard I've ever been to, all paved, very well organized, and a friendly staff. 

Jeep station wagon

MG 1100

Something for Angry

Opel GT

British Taxi

Dodge A100

Lots of modern stuff including a well picked Miata with an automatic sitting on the ground below it. 
 

Always amazed at rust freeness outside of the rust belt. In Michigan, all Dodge pickups are rusty. 

Quick trip to the yard today hunting for old volvos, only cool thing I saw was this BGT.

The car behind the B looks like a Sunbeam Alpine or Tiger

In reply to L5wolvesf :

It's an alpine, it's been there a couple years and not much left of it.

In reply to EvanB :

no love for the civic next to the Alpine, or the X-body Seville behind it?  or the white RX7?  and is that an E24 i see through the windshield of the Jeep?

If that's the yard EvanB and wae and I pulled the VW engine from, it's like some junkyard of abandoned project cars. 

In reply to Carl Heideman :

i appreciate you thinking of me!

In reply to Carl Heideman :

Buy every GT headlight mechanism that works

The weird and cool stuff usually ends up there. The rest of the stuff in the background has been sitting there for years so I didn't think to take pictures.
