I went to a junkyard today and found a good find

I found a S4 t2 rear end. I'm not sure how good of a find it is, but now at least now I found a rear-end to do a n/a to t2 conversion on my S5.

in other news, its kinda sad to see so many fc's and fb's torn down to there frames all beat up.

true that, it is kinda sad but on the bright side if ppl like you and everyone else here continue to contribute and re-use parts back into circulation then we can keep our cars on the road for another 20 years.

at least you can find them, over the past few years i have found it difficult to even find them in the wrecking yards anymore.

I had just about given up hope on finding fc's at the junkyard when I stopped by a old favorite on the way home from Ontario, I said what the hell. I didn't even have any tools on me, the only fc they had had OEM mudguards, only the rears though. Cost me 4 bucks

Lol. I remember trying to find rx7s in junkyards in western Kentucky/southern Indiana/tri-state w/e.
I went to so many junkyards.....
I got excited once and saw a 80's supra... and then got close enough to see it wasn't a rx7.
