Half-off day at the wrecking yard!!!

[DRIVEN]

The local U-Pull-It yards do a 1/2 off sale on most holiday weekends. Got there when the gates opened and scored F41 front and rear sway bars. Also swiped some firewall braces from a Monte Carlo. While I was there I got a fresh rebuilt head and a spare 5-speed for my Datsun 1200 coupe. I almost got out with change from a $100 bill but not quite. If I had cores to turn I would have. All in all it was a beautiful day at the yard. It's bad enough that they charge "environmental fees" on everything -- They actually charged me $2 core for the sway bars . My parts pile continues to grow...

I went today too and scored a few good parts.. Some fender braces off a 78 Cutlass, front bumper filler and a third brake light off a 87 GP. It was also a good day for me. 😀

Around here they cut catalytic converters out with a Sawzall before the cars hit the yard. Chances of finding a complete exhaust system are 0%. Nice score! The also punch holes in gas tanks, transmission pans and oil pans to drain the fluids. :x

I never understood the philosophy behind this method of 'fluid removal' Seems to me those parts are worth something to someone without holes punched in them

I can see them cutting cats off though, I got a guy who stops in and pays $80 cash a piece for old ones. Thats some easy funny money for the weekends :wink:
