Hmm are they really? I saw a whole art of interior from a car that had vaders for $300. Like all door cards, rear and front seats. Clean too. Would that have been cheap? I never really looked into the price if vaders. They are ugly in an e30 imo.

That's ridiculously cheap... A pair of nice Vaders can go for $1k+ depending on condition. A crappy set fetches at least $600

I needa start going to junk yards to make extra dough/look for cool shit. Maybe I'll go today if pnp is open.

BTW--If anyone noticed my posts about selling my car, I'm keeping it. After PPI for the buyer, the mechanic told him it would be worth about a thousand with all it's issues. He obviously doesn't value a pristine body/paint/top and I just barely regret paying $3850 for it.

Don't have a problem with my dad driving it, actually don't care at all.
Just my mom driving it with my sister in it.
I bet the car is a fucking mess right now, lipstick melted on the dash, food crubs, all that shit.

I am having a seizure thinking about it.
I think as soon as i bring it down to la jolla, ill push it off a cliff.

it's been tainted.

My mom won't touch it because she has rheumatoid arthritis and can't drive stick anymore, but she's very good with her car--always parks away from other cars in a parking lot and as far as I know has never even scraped a wheel on it (11 years old this month, like 120k I think).

My dad said the car was a pos as his first impression, but now that I want to sell it and get a four door he doesn't want me to because he thinks the car is amazing.

Sup boys. I went to PnP for the first time ever today. Holy shit fuckin car heaven. Grabbed an e34 leather e-brake boot and handle for $5. There were like 3 more but they were grey...is there any money to be made reselling these? There was a crack free dash that some asshat destroyed for the glovebox handle. I spent a while trying to get into an e32 for the toolkit but the trunk button was somehow ripped off completely and it was impossible to break into the trunk. I needa go there more often...it was awesome.

[JinormusJ]

1.2k posts and your only NOW ever been to a yard..?
I keed, I keed haha

Leather e-brake handles go for around $10-20 bucks. There's some other parts that go for cheap that are easy to take out and ship like the 13-button OBC and premium stereos/speakers. Pretty much anything that's an OEM upgrade sells for decent amounts. Sportseats go for $34 for a set here locally, and you can sell a nice set for $250-$300, bur you almost never find a set you can swoope and sell without restoring (you might have to pick up 2-3 sets to make one decent sellable one)

Haven't started pulling and selling myself, but I just follow this rule

1. Pay $2
2. Swoope all the parts you can
3. ???????
4. Profit

This man speaks the truth. Played this game today :)

[JinormusJ]

Playing the "game" tomorrow haha :)
Mostly just parts hoarding for now though. Whatever doesn't end up on my personal ride is gonna go in a thread soon

I don't know if it's just me.. But.. Do a lot of the board NOT actually go to the junkyards..? I see postings in the WTB forum all the time for parts that are easily obtainable if you just got off your butt with $2..

Hey guys, going to start looking for a roller four door if anyone has one for sale.

BTW, went on a drive to winters -> Monticello damn -> Rockville today with my girl.
Was a great drive. I love the windy road with trees overhanging them and shade on the road.
