Well, thanks for the heads up on the Pick n Pull, that worked out great (except I went today instead of tomorrow; Wednesdays are their half-off day, whish I'd known that...
)
Anyway, I got Mike *two* e-brake pedal covers...but no tire iron. Out of a couple dozen Taurii there (that had openable trunks) there were no tire irons. I think that's something they pull and take inside or something like that, since all the cars there seemed to be devoid of tire irons.
I snagged the intake and intake cams out of the GenII, but it still has lots of decent parts on it, like the rod shifter, tranny, etc., etc. The GenI is right behind it and I agree that it's engine looks cleaner. It was, unfortunately for me, a CA car with the EGR and I was specifically looking for an EGR-less intake. So the GenI drivetrain is still completely intact. It also has some nice swaybars on it and it looked like it's an AZ car, i.e., easy to get stuff off. I was tempted to take the bars but was already out of water and more or less tapped out on what I was willing to carry out of there. Might go back on a near Wednesday and see about "other things".
If I'd remembered to take a shim pic tool I'd have at least snagged the intake shims out of the GenII. They're still there and ripe for the picking.
There's also a white GenII Taurus near the back of the lot with some very nice aftermarket wheels on it. All four wheels are there and look to be in very good shape. They're 16" and I couldn't tell how wide, but I suspect 6 or 7 inches. Couldn't tell the brand of the wheels, either, but they were tempting me.
Oh, and there's a Festiva there as well if somebody wants to make a SHOgun. It's a bit beat up (just a wee bit), but a little duct tape and bondo and a buffer would bring it right back to new. :laugh_ti:
I was looking for Focus parts, too, and there was exactly ONE Focus in the whole yard, and the drivetrain was gone as well as everything else I was looking for. Crap.
So if you could let me know if you find any sho's I may pick thru. Thanks, Seth
