Got a full aspire brake swap for $20 today. Just had to rub it in Now I need something to put it in.

My buddy and I went to the junkyard today, he knows the owner. We got a ford 9 inch rear, 2WD C6 tranny, 4WD C6 tranny, aspire brakes/suspension, aspire (auto) radiator all for $50.

Good score!

I paid around $215 for my first set.

I paid $70 for two Aspire struts and hubknuckles (including one Aspire control arm for comparative purposes--and because it would have been too hard for me to remove).

It'll cost me $75 if I grab an Aspire rear axle assembly I have my eye on now.

You can put it on my festiva. It would be great to go with the set of Miata rims I asked you about.

That's a good deal Matt. Our junkyard offers a $1 day sometimes. You pay a $25 fee to get in and then each part you grab is $1 (so the rear beam would be the beam, 2 drums, ebrake cable - $4, fronts is the hub, caliper, rotor - $3 and so on...) that's where I picked up a bunch of the stuff for my swap for a decent price.

That's why you have to love small junk yards. I've got a complete Escort GT engine and tranny waiting for me to pick it up. Got it for $50. I also worked out a deal with the owner for free festiva parts in trade for my protege shell once I get it stripped down. Nathan

that is a pretty good deal. I can't wait till my pick a part has their annual all you can carry day. you pay 25 to get in and anything you can carry out is free. last year my uncle got a rear axle and 2 toyota 4 cyl's he chained each engine over one side of the axle and got it on his shoulders. i'm taking him again this year. lol he is one monsterous guy.
