  • pick n save carry all you can - yesterday :)

    so, the PNS here has two aspires and one festy at the moment.

    over the last two weeks I've been pulling loads of parts, most of which I divvied up between a couple of close by car/truck and then yesterday pulled everything and carried it all out for 65 bucks. well, I went twice but it was still worth it...very worth it.

    I pulled from the three cars all of the following:
    2x complete rear aspire beams w/struts - drum to drum.
    2x complete front aspire suspension w/ complete struts, bushings, etc
    3x aspire tails, 1 95 and 2 mint 97
    2x 97 aspire headlights and clear corners nr mint
    1x 97 master cyl
    4x 84 rx7 rotary mag wheels (SWEET!) 13x5.5 4x110. (oh well)
    Mazda RX7 Rims, Mazda RX-7 Rim, Mazda RX7 Wheels, Mazda RX-7 Wheel, Used Mazda RX7 Rims, Used Mazda RX-7 Wheels, Mazda RX7 Car Wheels, Mazda RX-7 Car Rims, Factory Mazda RX7 Rims, Factory RX-7 Wheels

    1x festy carby orange non-int column switch

    I carried everything but the 95 rear axle because the cross member was sort of crimped and bent in one spot pretty badly. I got all of this in two 10 yard trips. funny thing is, the front suspensions wouldn't fit on the cart without immediately falling off, so skeeter and I carried them about (i'd say at least) a 1/4 mile from the back of the yard to the gates. what a pain in the tail! I'm a bit sore but happy to of acquired pretty much all of this for what I would have paid for the rims alone

    pre-yesterday I got from the 95 and 97 aspires: 97 exhaust manifold, 97 tps, 97 speedo gear, 97 hatch popper with light and complete harness and complete wire and front seat pull, 95 & 97 gas door "latch" assy (capable for popper), loads of bolts, nuts, screws...that's about all I can think of.

    pretty good amount of parts figured I'd share

        A little hard to tell, but this is the aspire rear beam/drums/struts/springs and swaybar/knuckles/rod ends/LCAs/struts/springs. You have to carry everything 10 yards to get it for $65.



        Here is the tired walth with the truck load of parts:

              Is it a gimmick the place has? That's great. The yards out here have everything you need (cali) but ive bought a donor car for less than to buy everything needed for a brake swap. A drum to drum is 100 bucks at least.
