Junk Yards are awesome

check out what i found at the junk yard today:

i found a set of rear koni reds, paid only $3.10 each! woo hoo! they are in pretty nice shape right now and should work fine. i heard you can get em rebuilt, is that true? also wheres the cheapest place to get a new pair for the front to match. i have tokico blues all the way around, would these be better in the rear since they are adjustable. any advice here would be appreciated.

The junkyard i usually frequent is pretty cheap. it's a buck to get in, and the prices are very reasonable. I walked out with a 12a block for my 79 for 40 bucks...

where i go you get in for free and what ever you can under other things you pay for is free. like a c4 tranny under a spare tire free. everything out of 78 interior and a steering box and torsien bars under a 25 hood.
