If youre serious whi h yard what state do you have pictures and can you Go back? Even if it looks like poo poo there are parts that are possibly NLA for any price if it's not a burned up shell

Waunakee, WI 53597

Shell looked pretty straight from a few rows back, (beige), I didn't poke around too much cause it was blocked by some poo poo and I had to get back. Give em a call, but fair warning the guys are dickheads. On the bright hand they tend not to scrap older stuff. I might be going back Wed to try to find a coil for a buddy.

E: if you Do go back get pics anyways just in case their inventory is wrong but there's a lot less hope for anything after hearing them say 81

I was also distracted by the anger I felt towards having to be there in the first place. First having to find the Hyundai's (no they were not buy the Kias who would think that was a good idea.) Then finding the years with the hosed up rear strut/control arm mounting brackets that old Sonatas have. And then having to fish them out of a rusted to poo poo car half buried in a puddle with spare wheel jacks I had to find laying around in random trunks while the assholes that run that place laughed at me from a fork lift. I had to then drive the 25 min back to the shop to grab a pitman arm puller that I used to remove the lower shock from the knuckle cause it wouldnt budge after sitting in said muddy puddle for however many years. 4 hours of my day gone. I wish I knew what a pick and pull looked like.

Looks like $440 plus $100 from Mr. Dick and whatever the Europeans lurking around here can come up with. Possibly the goal is $800 rather than $1200 or $1400 or whatever.

I saw it again today. It was glorious. I saw so much that I missed the first time. Also, I took a U-turn under I10 really really fast in the miata, most :mediocre: of doof cars, but it was fun. There should be a PSA about driving right after that movie, because I wanted to ride on my own door all the way home.

No, I'm still a big boy, but it's about 215 right now, compared to 280 at my peak and 170 at my lightest. So 65 pounds is still 65 pounds, those are 44 inch waist pants in the pic compared to the 36s I wear now.

You look pretty tall though. Well, you must be quite tall to be 215lb with a 36" waist.

Based on what I've seen he's about the same size as I am, so somewhere between 6'2" and 6'4". I'm back to ~200lbs from 220. Went from 36" to ~34" waist.

Yeah, I'm an easy 6'2:" and right now I weigh 215 and have 36s on. I can wear 34" pants from the cheap places, and places that have accurate measures, 36" are a little snug. My low was 186 and my high was 230. I just can get the weight loss started again. :sigh:

It's weird for me, too. I'm 240 lb right now and 6' 0", but I wear between 36 and 38 inch pants. When I was 20 pounds thinner, I wore the same size, and when I was thirty pounds heavier, I wore 38 or 40 inch pants. :???:

Hey, I'm currently 310lbs and 44" jeans are practically falling off me (I'm 6'2"). Everyone thinks I'm about 250lbs when they see me, I've got a skeleton made of depleted uranium or something.

At one point I did (and hopefully will again) get down to a straight 200lbs with a 32-33" waist.
