Talking Went Boneyard shopping today!

Went to two different boneyards today. I scored a set of gas hatch struts that have plenty of pressure left, a new wiper washer bottle that still had a full tank of washer fluid in it, (my old one leaks badly), a functioning A/C compressor, a bit of trim I needed, the missing choke **** I needed, replacement fan switch **** for the semi-broken one. All I need now is a driver's side sun visor (brown cloth), window blade seals, the RX-7 side emblems and rear Mazda emblem, and that little plastic thing that holds the hood prop rod in place, Oh-yeah, and a decent driveline with good u-joints.

There was a complete throttle body/ manifold for a 13B at one of the yards if anyone is interested. It was at American Auto Wrecking and Salvage, Pasco, WA, (509) 542-9300

Those little plastic hood prop holders seem like they're always broken when I see 'em in the junkyard.

About 90% of the ones I've seen, on or off the road, are broken.

I think they are talking about the little plastic clip that holds the hood prop when its down. The clip on the S and LE is broken, but oddly the GS's is still good. strange. Its the first non broken one I've ever seen.
