Got back to the boneyard today, As we couldnt get back yesterday.

Spindles were gone from the SN95. :mad:
But the Tie Rods were just laying there, So i snagged those.

But!
Got something i've been planning for a long long time...
Spent the next few hours (until they literally sent someone over to escort us out, lol).
Wrestling off the complete rear axle assembly of an '88 TC!

By the time the guy came over to kick us out (Dad and I), I was wrestling off one last attachment.
He was just in time to help lift it into the wheel barrow. :hick:

Did i mention it only cost $60.00? :roxor:

It's nice to be able to "steal" something once in a while. It makes up for some of the times the JY guys try to rip you off. Congrats!!

That knife is awesome.  If you have a daughter, sharpen that thing whenever she brings a boy home.  Tell him how your "Not afraid to go back. [to prison]"

Yea, My dad found it in the back of a Ranger.
He comes over and is like "Want a new tool?!" I'm like WTF~He starts cracking up.

I wouldnt have even takin' it except it got put in the wheelbarrow, And i noticed it up at the register and hid it right quick before they thought we were crazy or something. ;)

I made yet another trip back today, Hopefully wont need to go back for awhile now.

I spent most of my time taking apart a 1996 Explorer 8.8 Rear end.
But got what i was after, A 31 spline Locking 4.10 Ring/Whole Carrier & Pinion for 26.50!

I was also able to get the whole (Driver Side Only) TC Parking Brake Cable and Brackets.
The passenger side was clipped :(
And The whole rear end from the 2nd TC was completely gone and both cables got clipped. :mad:
Also wasn't able to get the rear brake hoses. :(

While i was checking out the TC's for cables, There was a guy looking for Turbo Stuff.
We talked a bit, (I told him to check out our forums) and he says he mostly does Turbo 'Stangs but he keep getting tempted to get a T-Bird. :hick:
He said i could contact him on TurboFord and NATO under "Jedneck".

They are putting out the cash for clunkers cars at this lot now, So a whole new row of C4C cars was there today.
Theres some real nice stuff that shouldn't be there IMO.
All of them have "cash 4 clunkers" + "BAD MOTOR" and "DO NOT SELL" on the windshields.

Amongst those were a White '89 5.0 Convertible Mustang, Thoroughly Torn into already.
An '83 Powder Blue SVO - Still pretty much complete besides the turbo missing and 2 wheels missing.

As usual, Took pics~Will get them up soon. :burnout:

Im probably off on year and color, But that's just what it looked like to me.

Now that i look at the mustang again, I doubt its an SVO.
But there was something going on and missing under the hood.

The powder blue stang isn't an SVO it looks like an 81-82 plane jane 4 banger, not a turbo car. Alot of good parts there!

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
