Junkyard Gold Mine

Alright Well I went to the junk yard today and found a gold mine, full 83 GSL. With a front bumper and a good tailight. Well it's missing those now. I only had so much money come on people. The Bumper is a 3 peice design, does anyone know where I can get the right side? It wasn't on the car and I couldn't find it, but I did snag the other two peices and thought maybe a body shop could build me one or I could buy one. Either way I picked the front bumper, taillight, and a new front corner lens up for 50 bucks. I thought it was a good deal but I know my mom would have bargained better. I'm tihnking of grabbing the LSD rear end.

Yapa, sounds like your car is really coming along. Not sure by what you mean when you say the bumper was a three piece. I had to replace mine just a couple of months back and it was a one piece skin over a metal piece that mount to two bumper shocks. Only other pieces where the clips in the fenders to hold the sides down.

It's like........damn......it's the front bumper and the sides ya know, like cut the sides of the bumpers off about two inches back after the front turn signals and thats three peices. I don't know why it came like that, but I'm thinking I'm gonna have to get the other peice custom made.

before anyone lectures me I know the difference between the SA22 and the FB3S. So theres no point in trying to class me on it. the car in the yard was.....well ok. Good for replacement parts lets say that. Engine intact. Was tihnking of yanking it and possibly rebuilding it, SPing it and othe stuff. The front left bumper is dead now do to the idiot lifting the car so I could yank the bumper out from underneath it, trust me the bumper isn't THAT bad ok. Just needs some TLC. Oh I forgot to mention I found in the trunk a whaletail, short turbo from wings west and is in ok condition. Needs fiberglass on the corner and I have one already but hell, someone needs to come and pick this car apart with me yall.

yea yea yea its a 3 peice design. EXACTLY! I'm gonna have to make the other side though. 1 o 1 fiberglass room garage. Let me think........it's got a new set of tools after I accidentally left mine, oh well cheap set anyways I needed new ones. I don't remember any aftermarket stuff other than the turbo style wing. It's in a place called Airport Salvage Yard in New Smyrna Beach. If yall want to come rip it apart please do so. It's praying for it.

LOL, but not creative enough. Could do like the psycho-bitch from hell I used to be married to and take it apart and throw all over the yard. She didn't actually do that; she just threw my tools all over the yard. Took months to find them all. Funny thing, though, I just found out she did the same thing to her boyfriend. I see a pattern.
