score at the junk yard

[88driftIS]

I picked up a Front lower valance for my 86 yesterday. I have no idea what it originally came out but it looks freaking amazing. It was on a 86 4 door eta, but i I know it didn't originally. It comes down about 3in more then the original one. My guess would be an 88is valance. I don't know, but I only paid 15 for it.

my last score was:

both blinkers for front diving board
both fogs for diving baords
power antenna
eta guage cluster
guage cluster bezel
like new bremi spark plug wires
left and right grills (no cracks)
plastic shroud for behind passenger side head light


60 bucks

That is the ugliest steering wheel i've ever seen.. EVER!

No way look up the wheel on the Lancia Zagato, The one spoke one.

i picked up a mtech 1 wheel, a uncracked late model foglight, and two sets of front tweeters for $8 last time i was at the junkyard.

I saw that Mtech at Pick-n-pull

ok...what's the trick to getting the steering wheel off without power and the key???

[bignate948]

is there a trrick?? i always thought you just unbolt them?

[DRTSRFR]

I wish...the steering wheel lock is actuated electonically and locks the wheel itself at the back of the hub. I beat the crap out of a three spoke the other day, literally standing on the seat and pulling up as hard as I can with no results. It comes off the splines but pivots on the lock mechanism at the top of the wheel.

cut the column with a sawzall. it was off in less than five minutes. :mrgreen:

you must have been the one that unbolted it then.

Where do you guys go to find this ridiculously cheap stuff??? I find cool stuff from time to time, but they have books and know exactly what things are, so there's no finding mtech II kits for $.50, typically it's half of new dealer price.

I unbolted ALL of the three spokes and that M-tech:???:

I know who you are. You graduated from Golded Sierra right??
I saw your car at the Sierra Superstop(Toms) the other day...;)

its too bad this scenario didnt hold true for the original poster. he wouldnt be cursed with that horrendous wheel

...and E30nate, I've got all the center caps in my garage!!:up:

'cept the Mtech which I couldn't find anywhere...

You have to find a junk yard that makes you take of the stuff. Ex pick-a-part, pull-a-part. These places charge the same for each part no matter what car it came off of. For an example you can get a 2jz 6 cylinder for the same price you can get a v6 out of a ford Taurus. About $150 by me. And yes the pick-a-part by me has a sc300.

[bignate948]

yea i used to envy people who would find these amazing buys untill i descovered pull a part now im there every week lol

[gazellebeigem3]

That steering wheel is big ugly. :giggle:

but its from a Porsche!!!! doesn't that make it COOOLLL!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?1


im no expert, but i think he upped the resale value of the car at least 1k.

[bignate948]

naw i was thinking that it would push it up another 1500 8)
