    Made a Nice Junkyard Hual!

    My Friend Harrison and I drove down to a junkayrd in Atlanta 2 hours away to grab some parts. Since I knew Kevin Chinn(tricked-323i) lived near there I gave him a ring and he met us at the yard. I was hunting for parts for my m30 engine conversion while my friend was hunting down parts for his VW.
    While I was pulling some E28 m30 parts almost ready to grab a AFM and intake box. Kevin Yelled over and I walked over to an 325es We looked at earlier but didn't look to closely as I was hunting for to many e30 parts. INside where some Nice Black leather sport seats, Only problem the car was pinned in. So We got a Fork lift driver to come over and he completly tossed the 2 cars, and E28, and an Audi(I believe) out of the way. Luckily I grabbed the radiator out of the 5er earlier as it sure would of been damaged.
    So I made it out of the yard with
    Passenger and Driver's Black leather sport seats. Passenger seat is great and the driver's seat has a bent frame and decent leather with one spot coming unstiched But Kevin said he could fix the leather no problem.-$44.57
    E28 535i 5 speed radiator-$30.07
    E28 535i 167k complete cylinder head-$32.87
    E28 535i Valve cover-$5.58
    E21 Zender Trunk Lid spoiled-Free(lady didn't charge me for it for some reason)
    And My friend made it out for $20 with a sunroof panel for his VW the cool steering wheel out of the Audi(i think) previosly tossed aside and A Porsche License plate surround.
    Plus We went over To Kevin's house to check out his E30 323i with BBS front spoiler and I got a pair of Scharz Black non dented fenders for my 88 325is they were free as long as I bring back My dented driver's fender and Dot-R Passenger fender with town up fender lip. So that the 325i rolling shell they came off of has something cover the front.
    Oh well it was a fun day I was hoping to grab an M30 5 speed tranny but the only car with one in the yard was sitting on the ground and not up in the air like all the other cars in the lot(2 wheels welded together one each corner providing around a foot or more to wrok under).
    Tommorow I'll get some pics of the seats Once I clean them, the passenger seat will go straight into my car. As for the Driver's I'll have KEvin repair the bolsters, then I'm going to transfer all the leather to another sport seat frame in the attic as this frame is bent and rusty. Now I have 7 sport seats in my Possesion but these black ones are in the best shape 8) 8)

          its really a blast, i felt more manly than ever, walking through the twisted metal wreckage while holding a toolbox in one hand, and having a breaker bar hoisted over the other shoulder. god, times like those i will remember... oh, i did find two bmws though, an 87es, which was completely gutted (engine,trans interior) and another eta which was for the most part intact. I should have practiced some skills on the engine, or had my friend time me on how long it would take to get the head off, lol.

                        The closest one of those "U-pull-it" yards is like 2-3 hours from me. There's a few, and at some point this summer, I inted to make a HUGE run through all of them.

                            With your luck you might as well find a cherry condition shell and just pull parts from yards. Ground-up e30!

                              No way man, I'm going to find a good one this time. That last one was just a big screw-up.
