Junkyard Trip

This morning Jeff and I took a trip to the local junkyard to pick up some parts. What we found was Bimmer heaven. All kinds of old BMWs just waiting to donate their parts before headed off to the crusher. I picked up a crack free dash and parts to do the plastic bumper swap.


Here is Jeff removing the last piece (a bumper shock) needed for replacing the bumpers. That little blue Bimmer was quite the donor, got all kinds of good stuff out of it.








Here I am holding a nice dashboard.








Plastic bumpers that will get sprayed white.










New dash all cleaned up and ready for installation…it’s going to be hell.

Those two pictures make the junkyard really fun, only we know the truth.

I once stole a wire to control my passenger seat for the Civic from a junkyard. They wanted $50 for the whole seat mechanical piece, and the piece I needed was maybe worth $5. So I stole it without the guy knowing. I felt bad, but then I felt so good knowing that my seat worked again.
