Junkyard score
Yesterday I went to the junkyard. The one that I normally go to wasn't open, so I went to another one, but this one was totally self service.
I was going there for a hub for our little POS subaru that broke down last week. Well I found that fairly quickly. Then I started looking around for anything else that would be usefull. Well I found a nearly perfect 67 or 68 GMC grill. It was a pain to remove, but I got it. I also got a pair of hood hinges off the same truck. I was about to order a new pair of hinges for like $45 each. I like the this grill better than mine cause it will allow me to remove the trim that is attached to the very front of the fenders. I never liked that trim, but it looks bad without it, since my grill has this trim. I walk around looking for some good seats, but couldn't find anything I liked. So I go pay for my parts......$34 total! Talk about cheap. My wife also picked up the "Wife of the Year" award for helping me! |
