my gf and i went to heaven, or pretty close to it. we found a salvage yard that charges $30, all one person can carry. amazing deal.
we both drive Hondas, my Accord and her 90 Civic wagon. we originally went there just for a new window for my Accord, but when we got there, sitting at the top of the hill in the distance was a 1990 Civic wagon.
same color as hers, inside and out. it's nearly impossible to find parts for wagons, especially body panels in good shape and the right color. so, we began stripping the poor wagon and picking from the Accords.
we made 2 trips this weekend @$30 each trip, so for $60 i carried out all of the following parts.
Civic
driver's door (complete, minus mirror)
steering column cover
A/B pillar trim panel
license plate garnish
front seat cover (complete)
driver's seat side trim
cargo area light
dash filler insert
passenger mirror
hood support clip
sun visor
rear wiper
folding seat pull and trim ring
rear strut caps
corner panel (below taillight)
Accord
map sensor
driver's window
power window regulator
climate control
cup holder
(2) headlights
door lock pull
bumper light socket
hood support clip
arm rest cap/plug
that's 31 individual parts, not counting all the parts that make up the complete door. atleast $600 worth of parts, at regular junkyard prices. the wagon also has an unbroken windshield. now i have to find out how to pull a windshield without breaking it.
