I got a lot of interior pieces in grey from an old 2.8 bird and also some working VENTS for the heat. other ones were all broken up. Also got some covers for the bottom of the seats, but the biggest finds of the day I couldnt get all I had was a screw driver.. They had a whole NON AC car there , box and everythign just sitting in an old berlinetta and also they had a rusted old camaro. I look into the bay and behold 36mm 24mm sway bar set and the "wonderbar" This was over at pearl pick a part.

WOW. Since the weather looks like there will be no test and tune this weekend, maybe Ed and I will have to go check out some junkyards. Gotta get his wheels off before the salt hits...

Can you find out how much they want for it all. Id like to put at least heat back into my Z.
If you think its a fair price for everything.(i need inside and outside box. heatercore, and contorls.)
Maybe we can work something out. I'll powdercoat some of your parts if you want. Either way let me know how much.
Thanks
Chris

Ed and I went Junkyarding earlier today. First we went to B&O where he had been before and they were anything but pleasant. When he went there before he just walked around and they didn't mind. Today someone came out of the office and told us we had to go in there first. I told him we were intetersted in some steel wheels and the guy said he wasn't sure but they probably had them and they'd be $20 each and asked for a deposit of $25 and they'd let me know when they had them ready for us. So then we headed over to Cleveland Pick-A-Part in Columbia Station and what a difference! There was a recently wrecked 4th gen TA out front and Ed immediately eyed the leather seats. We walked around and had a great time except for the mud. When we got back up front a guy asked us what we were looking for and he said that he didn't have any steel wheels but took us over to a '91 Camaro that just came in and said he'd let us have the alloy wheels with tires and lugs for $100 so we went back to B&O and I got my deposit back and called PaP and he reserved the wheels for me with no deposit. Daralyn didn't get back early enough with the van for me to get them, but we'll have them on Monday. Cool place. Is this the place you went to Matt? We did see an '83 Berlinetta in the back. We found a place called Pearl Salvage at 5000 Pearl in the book, but Ed had to go to work so we didn't get to go there or over to Broken Wheel and the other places around there. I got my 4-way flashers and stop lights and a burned out front marker fixed in the GrandAm and got the ECM numbers so I can get a custom chip burned before we went. I assume the strips will be down this weekend, but hope to run the GA next weekend.

Pearl salvage is where I went. CPP is a great place. I got my Lumina Euro Rims there along with the spoiler.

John--by any chance, did you get a glimpse of the interior of that 91 camaro? Do you know what color it was? I'm looking for light grey panels for my trunk. I need the panel that goes over the hatch release and the ones adjacent to it on the left and right. Mine are scratched really bad. I'm gonna have to do some junkyard shopping hehe.

Ed might remember, I don't. Not sure who's gonna make the pickup run tomorrow, but we'll take a look and let you know...

it might have been gey. not sure. i believe the interior was all still there, along with all the windows, and the t-tops so the interior could still be pretty good.

Erin - He had a bunch of junk stuffed in the Camaro we got the wheels off of so I couldn't tell what the rear plastic panels looked like or if they were even there, but Rick told me he was sure he had some gray panels and it would be $25 for a complete set of the panels. The front tires on Ed's winter wheels didn't look to good, but the rears are mud'n'snows and had pretty decent tread left. Noticed he was short one center cap, but I'll bet Ed can go back over there and he'll find one for him....

It's on Station Road, just North of SR 82 in Columbia Station - Station runs parallel to Columbia and is just a bit West. He's open 'til 3 PM on Saturday and closed Sundays.
