SA motherload, and an FB

When I got my SA a few months ago the husband of one of my supervisors at work told me to let him know if I ever needed any parts for it, that he has some parts cars. Well, at the time I didn't think much of it since I had just gotten it and hadn't had a chance to go through it and see what I needed to do with it yet.

But a few weeks ago I finally got a chance to go out and look at the cars he had. I was really hoping that he had an SA bumper (a previous owner decided to put an FB bumper on the SA ), but didn't have my hopes up since I figured he probably had FBs, but to my surprise he had 3 SAs and an FB, and the best part is that he's just looking to get rid of them and told me I can have anything I want off of them.

Today I finally got a chance to go back out and get some parts and I also brought my camera so I took pics of them all. Once I get the parts I need, I plan to pull the parts that are left and in good shape. I'll then sell them pretty cheap (basically just enough to make it worth the time pulling parts). I also plan to pull interior parts to use to make molds to make carbon fiber parts for my car, then once I have the molds I'll be able to make more parts out of carbon fiber and fiberglass to sell. I don't get a chance to get out there too often, but if anyone is looking for a specific part let me know and the next time I'm out there I'll pull it.

Below are pics of the blue SA. The inside of the car is filled with parts as well. Looks like the interior of a couple of them is inside it, plus the carb off of it is in the hatch section.

This is the grey SA. I've taken the front bumper and grill off of this one, and plan to get the piece that goes around the grill the next time I go out there. This is a bit of an odd car. It had been turned into a kind of pickup. lol

This is the yellow SA. Apparently someone hit a cow with it and that is why it looks like it does. I have to say the front end is in pretty good shape for hitting a cow.

This is the FB. It's pretty well been stripped. I'm guessing that he used it for parts for the FB that his wife wants him to finish fixing up for her.

^ +1, those look like really nice wheels on the yellow sa. From the pictures, can only see one wheel, but it looks like it's in really good shape. If there were four matching ones, I would definately put those on my sa.

For those who have been asking about parts, I don't know when I'll get a chance to get back out there to pull more parts, but hopefully it will be within the next couple of weeks. When I do get back out there I'll take some more pics that show a little bit more detail. Also, I didn't get a pic of the back of the yellow SA but it has the luvers on the back if anyone likes those things.
