here's my own personal junkyard... the hatch is being stored for a friend, and the corolla is going to be a father/son project...

Dang I wish I had space like that in my area. If I did, I would have parts cars like you too! Good luck converting your car to a DXi. Looks like you got the parts to.

yeah, i'm at the legal limit of 5 cars, though, so i have to scrap out that gutted blue sedan... since it's as stripped as it is, i'm going to have to cut it up to take it out...

Technicaly, if you cut it in pieces, it's not a car anymore, so you could keep the cut parts and bring in another car :p

well, it's just scrap metal... just the unitbody... no reason to keep it... not even in workable shape

I could use a fender :) But I think it would be easier for me to find one more locally

could use a left front fender (although mines a 2door, should fit right?) and a left rear panel on the interior (but that definatly wont fit from any of your cars there) and i could use window motors if they work =/ lol :P

i ant got any cash but I REALLY WANT those side markers like REALLY bad..i dont like the 86 look i like the semi JDM style..what else ;well 5 spd would be nice and all the brackets and stuff i would need to do a swap....lol part parts give me parts i need parts lol.....looks like u wont ever run out nice grab nice lot...

Vanilla Sky

yes, the fenders do work on all of these cars, but the spare i have is slightly damaged and i'd feel bad about selling it...

and ehulst, those sidemarkers are cracked all to hell... and that 5speed swap is mine, hehe

and leia, you got something i want, too... distance is a factor there, too :-p

im not that concerned with minor scratches/dents because it cant be worse then this:

and, even if it is scratched, its going to be repainted so im not too worried about it

headlight fixtures (both left and right) would be nice also, if the 'alignment' screws arent stripped. Thats the problem with mine, i cant really align my headlights because the screws are stripped, so the result is a drivers side headlight that points up and to the left, and a passenger headlight that points down and slightly to the left... i constantly get flashed (even by large trucks) because of the headlight that shines up, so when i flash um back they arent too happy =P

Them pics look good with them fuel injectors. I want to do a swap to injection. I was curious what all that would run? Is it alot of trouble doing that kind of swap? Kind of worried about how much trouble it is.

Nice selection of parts you got there Derick.

well, i have $25 in that parts car, but to do it properly, you need about $100 in gaskets and filters... i'm kinda hacking it in, so it's only gonna cost me about $30...

the fenders have about the same damage... i'll have to get a pic sometime...

halxi

ok thanks, what about the headlight fixtures? (the whole thing that flips up and mounts to the body, only without the headlight lol)

Vanilla Sky

yeah, I am envious of that space you have, it's almost exactly what I wish I had, including the house. that's a nice piece of property. but anyway, if you take a look at that hatchback front and can see anything I'll need to get it right, I know the A/C compressor is shot, I think the top A/C burst, the headlamps units, radiator, etc
work up a list of what you got and cost. I'm hoping to get there late this month or early April.
