Look what i found at the junkyard...

I went to the junkyard today because a friend saw a track SA getting towed to the junkyard 2 days ago. I went today and saw that car and a SE... Here is what i picked up.

From the SE:
GSL-SE front brakes, master cylinder, and proportioning valve.
GSL-SE rear end

From the track car:
Set of Enkei's 15x7 with Hooisers race tires... Should have about 1-2 track days left on them.
Ground Control camber plates and coilover perches
Eibach rear springs with dead coil
A set of Tokico Illumina
Rear suspension bars (don't know what it is called, but it replace the watts link in the rear... I have it in my other car and it works great).
SS braided oil cooler lines

The SE rear end bolts right up to a GS if your car has the bigger driveshaft )i think it is 84-85 and some 83). Another thing that you need for a disc brake rear end is the ebrake cable. It is recommended that you get the proportioning valve from a disc brake car, but it will work fine with the drum one.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Haha just playing. I heard about the gsl-se being out that way. but i knew it was all stock. But it looked liked you guys snagged some clean parts from that SA. Nice find.

Question: Did the SA still have the stock rear bumper? And what about the turn signals?

Thanks

I think the bumper was still good in the car and it looked stock. There is also a front sway bar for the taking if you want it.

I hate you............just kidding. I'm lucky if I find a rusted out bomb around here. Most people in this area run these cars into the ground. What you paid for everything you got is a deal!

PnP on Mowry?

Maybe I'll mosey over. Don't need anything major for the SE right now, but I'm using it for my DD so I could use some wear items. I could always use burgundy trim plastic bits.
