  • Junkyard Finds

    Went to some pick n pulls for the first time yesterday ended up ferrying quite a few Festy parts. Trying to get them all in the car was the hard part.







    This beauty had almost every option but there was no top and all the interior parts were pretty much useless. Had the cloth door cards that were ruined...I ended up just grabbing the map pockets. I also took the tach Speedo. There were power mirrors and cruise control, but they both seemed busted. Some nice seats with headrests but the headrests were gone.









    There was also a cool yellow Festiva at the u pull it. It was picked clean though.







    Had a grant steering wheel but I could see someone previously tried getting it off, all but two screws were still in it and the were stripped.


    And my trooper girl friend helped me out the whole day! This was her earlier in the morning when she made me go garage saling.

    90LX with swoopies!!!!!! You should've grabbed those mirrors! Even if they weren't the greatest shape.

      The drivers side mirror seemed broken the mirror part was just flopping around and they were both painted. I don't mind not having power mirror and they didn't seem worth it to grab. They are still at the Pick n Pull in KC unless Kingfish went and got them. I let him know they were there.

        Your GF looks hot but her fashion sense is something else(Addidas running pants with boots and grandmas sweater) She must be rocking what she scored at the garage sales.

          Haha yeah, we were laughing about that. That's why I made her outer me take a picture. It had been training in the morning so she was preparing to get dirty at the junk yards!

            One of the headlights in the JY pictures looked to be clean (not rusted or leaking seal). Grab that for your own sake; they're never cheap when you need one.

              I guess it's a good thing I didn't do the rounds today! I need to go to the upickit over there as they have Escapes every so often.

                      I hit 3 big yards today and only found one aspire and thats it. I am in need of a rear Festiva bumper(metal bumper, not the cover). Festiva's have been super scarce in the yards lately, but I guess thats a good thing.

                              I believe that is just a modification someone did, speaking as to the question of it being a fun top car.
