Default A good day at the junk yard

well, we had a really nice day Thursday so I headed off to the junk yard. They had a new arrival. A 2001 3.8L. Also my son has turned 16 so he could go for the first time. He needed a couple pieces for his Honda Del Sol.

Got the left rear turn signal I needed. But someone must have wanted the door speakers pretty bad as they just rip the door panel off breaking everything. I needed some door handle bezels but they were shattered.

Found a set later on another car. The guy at the counter couldn't figure out what to pick so he went with molding by the foot ($1.99). 1 foot each.

I also came across 3 Camaros with rear panels and hatches destroyed by someone trying to pry open the hatch. For reference, if you fold down the rear seat, lay down in the car, pull back the rear cover over the latch and remove the 3 10mm bolts, the hatch will open. it takes all of 5 minutes.

cool, yeah its a damn shame how it seems 99% camaraos that I see are badly abused.... It seems most fall in the hands of rednecks so the rest of us have to be blessed by the gods to find an unmolested camaro.

It really is criminal what some bozos do to cars in the U-Pull-It yards. They'll destroy parts worth more than the part they want. Often the destroyed parts include something I went there for.
