Sunday Parts Run

Postby 99Super » Tue Jun 10, 2014 7:21 pm

Sunday I fired up the Astro and headed East to Idaho Falls to pick up a load of parts that were listed on CL. The owner lost his storage and the cars were already gone so I made him an offer on the whole remaining pile.
$240 + about 100 in gas.
I got:
An early 900 4 Speed w/ 99 front cover
A set of 85 Swirl Cams
3 99 and 1 900 radiator
a 900 intercooler with a nice little fan
A decent T3 turbo
1 Inca wheel
3 early 900 grilles including an EMS and GLE
3 early 99 grilles (1 1.85 alloy unit, 2 73-74 fibre)
2 sets early 900 bezels, 1 lit, one plain
1 early 900 instrument cluster w/ 8K tach and 135 mph speedo
A box of 99 sedan/ Sonett taillights
2 good 165/15 tires
A box of soccerball nuts and center caps
A set of early chrome hub caps
A early 99 brass header tank

...and a bunch of little/broken crap that will likely get chucked.

I already sold the 900 bezels for $40. Much of this will find it's way to the convention to sell but I really needed the trans to save the 76 hatch I have. I'm exited about the cams and I was already shopping for an IC fan, so that was cool to find in there, too. I have to get the cam and fan in place before next Friday since the Freezeout Hillclimb is next weekend, already!

Score!
Nothing like a good deal on a parts lot
Do a lot of people bring parts to the SOC?
I'll bring some ca$h and be looking to fill up the trunk with whatever

Nice score!
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off :eyebrows:
