        • Snag the thermostat houseing & the speedo gear/tranny dipstick for sure. People are always breaking them.
          If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

            I know I will be snagging the rear wiper stuff, will be much cheaper then buying the entire hatch. Just a few measurements, and drilling a quarter sized hole in my current hatch, and I can install it.

            How bad is the scratch on that wheel? I may consider snagging those rims as well.

            Definitely want the driver side fender if it isn't dented, been looking for a good white one.

            Also, got a question for ya muleskinner. Did it have A/C? I have been looking to start getting together all the stuff to install A/C.

            Edit: On second thought, I won't have the money for those rims. They want $35 per aluminium wheel, plus the added cost for the tires (Yes they charge for the tires there.)
            My paycheck probably wouldn't be able to cover those, and everything else I want.
            The fender is straight on the drivers side.
            It had AC and still might have some components to get you started. The other white one that was there a month ago had all the AC components in it. You should have grabbed those!
            The hatch is in great shape for a little over $60 after returning the core. One wiper arm is $10 & the wiper motor is $16. I would probably get the hatch if it was me.
            The scrape on the wheel rim edge was about 6" long and can probably be buffed out. 1 cap was missing on one of the wheel rims.

            • How did the tires look? If the tires look good and have plenty of tread, that will be a steal if I can get them all for under $200.

                Oh! I didn't know they added the core charge on the cost of the wheels?! I don't think they did that to me when I got the 12" steelies and tires.

                • Finally got the oil pan gasket in correctly. Ran the car for a bit with no leaks!! While the car was up on the jackstands I also replaced the shifter bushings at the transmission end of the linkage. I call tell that there's a big improvement even without driving the car. These are the ones I picked up in the recent Fourgreen group buy... thanks again to Bravekozak

                      Will have to think about it while I am there next weekend, unless someone snags them first.

                      But also, but you probably just didn't notice the core charge on steel wheels since it is so low. The core charge on steel wheels is only $1

                      Also I remember steel wheels being $7 a piece there, looks like they upped the priced to $10 per steel wheel.
                      How much did they add for the tires on those steel wheels you picked up?

                      Sorry about all the questions. lol

                        • I was gonna say I think I paid like 75ish for my hatch at a PnP and I thought that was a reasonable price. Plus you'll get the nozzle already on it and the wiring for the motor.

                            Thats ok, I wouldn't waist your time on the tires I would remove them and just take the wheels.
                            I don't remember how much I paid for each tire, but I know it was cheap.
