Today was the first time i've found good stuff at a Junkyard...

Hey guys,
Just thought id share, today I actually found some good things at a junkyard. This is a first for me, usually I find picked over crap... Anyways they had the biggest thing I was looking for a SA front bumper for my widebody and it was even black. I noticed that there was 3 FB's there, that is really strange ive NEVER NEVER NEVER seen a RX7 there before then suddenly there is 3. Best part of all is 2 of the 3 were barely picked over. Motor still in, most of interior left and some goodies.

So I ended up picking up the cowling from the SA, painted black and has the badass single windshield sprayer haha, and the Front bumper! I figured I got a pretty good deal to for $40. Kinda sad to see these RX7's just sitting there wasting away though, so much potential... One of the cars even still had a glass moonroof, I would pick it up, but I already have a mint one. Im totally going to head back there tomorrow and pickup the two black headlight panels!

Just thought i'd share that my project just got one step further ahead and I can't say how excited I was to see the exact parts I was looking for just sitting waiting for me... Awesome!

Yes, but I just don't have the money to buy cars nore the place or time to deal with them at this point. I picked up one project on friday and its going to keep me busy for the next couple of years, trust me...
