Pic a Part Report

Anyone have any FC (especially Verts) siteings at any of the area Pic A Part, U Pic U Pull, Ecology, etc anywhere between the 605 area to the 215 area and perhaps down into the OC?

I need a few low demand parts and being concerned with the environment I want to minimize the driving around so to minimize the pollutants my smog producer produces.

Didn't head east after all, went to the OC.

Beach and Katella NADA
Beach and Ball NADA

Anyone afraid to publish their secret finds for all to see, please PM me with any willing help otherwise. Otherwise, indeed heading east tomorrow.

in the bigger Pick Your Part junkyard in Wilmington, there's a 1st gen (motor is gone) but it does have a black dash cover that's pretty clean.

Hey, anything to help the environment endure more pollutants than necessary.

Anyone going to either the Pyrite or San Berdo yard, PM me. There was one small thing I forgot to pull from the S5 FC that I'd appreciate if it were grabbed.

Thanks

The one on Milliken did for sure. I'll bet all of them did thinking about it.

Guess I know where I'm headed after work, if I can get there before they close. Ugh, they close at 5:15pm... not likely. Oh, well, there's always the weekend. May still be there.

Need close visual inspection to see if it's the build I need or not.

Hey if anyone's heading that way, and sees an original SA 5-speed shift **** in XLNT condition, snag it for me!

DivinD,

Regarding Pyrite SA's, courtesy of shoneeko checking that out today (so you owe him) I can confirm they both have their carbs. One a bit more dirty than the other, but all there.

Earliest I can get there is tomorrow after work, so we'll see if there's even anything left to 'find' by then.

Any joy on the shiftknob? There's a chance to get a finder's fee!
