    I Hit The JY Jack Pot!

    Well I have been out looking through old e30's that have had their life cut short today. I happened upon a silver 90 model that looked better than mine, car looked like it didn't belong in the JY. I got to looking and noticed the head had been pulled and one piston had a hole in it :(. I was looking underneath at the suspension and Eureka! there were new Billy's on it with Vogtland springs. I went ahead and grabbed the rear and I am going back for the fronts next week. The car was up against a tree on a hill so I didn't feel safe jacking it up and grabbing everything else. The shocks look brand new so I got lucky there. I guess an old dog does have a day every once in a while. I also got the wiper linkage I needed with the motor and it also looks new. Hoosah!!

            You don't post threads like this until after you take the parts.

            Now every person in Knoxville will be scourging all the u-pull-it junk yards within a 100 mile radius.

            I'd put money on them not being there in a week. You even gave a description of where to look.

                  It could happen, but at least I would know how my buddy's on R3v are.

                    I'd bet that was to try and throw other East Tennesseans off the scent.

                      around this time last year i went to one here. boy was i in for a surprise. i guess some enthusiast stopped giving a shit and just gave his car to the wrecker. came away with a full MINT black/grey plaid interior with black doorcards, ebay headers with a wideband, euro cluster and check panel, and maplight mirror. what i missed out on though were a sweet set of smilies. had to leave them because i didn't have enough cash, left right before they closed and arrived the next day right as they opened and sure enough someone swiped them.

                            Now see, that's a unicorn right there. This one still had the lights but they were sealed units like mine.
