    Mine came with the engine donor's diff (rusty pile of automotive gastrointestinal tract), donor's transmission, headlights, buckets, grille, roundels, interior parts, stereo equipment, fuses, ie all the crap that goes bad all the time, so I have a flippin' checker section's worth of small electrics. It's been handy.

    PS if anyone needs a shitty diff from an M10B18 or the decent 5-speed tranny, let me know

      I just got mine hauled off. I bought it to swap an engine into it, and I did, but the rear wheel houses were not in the best of shape.

      It was repairable, but I didn't want to go through the trouble of welding new metal in. So, I removed all of the parts of value and junked it. I ended up maybe up $80 on the whole car. I had to take some pieces for myself, like the dash and carpeting.

        I used to have a 2002 parts car

          No parts car. Do not have the space/desire to mess with that.

          And dealing with the cheap asses here makes it not worth it.

            My project turned into a parts car, then back to a project.
