Found an '89 SEi at Woody's in Columbus today. (2/14/06)

No wheels on it, and most of the dash, console, and front bumper is already gone but it still had dark grey leather seats inside, the motor was still intact and the disc brakes were still on all 4 corners. The car is a 2 door and doesn't look wrecked but it does have a little surface rust.

Just in case anyone is interested. I dont have the time / money / patience to get the rear disc setup for my LXi or it would be mine already! :toilet:

they were a little worn but I didn't see any major rips or stains. It's right up at the front of the yard so it must be a recent arrival. If ya want em ya should go in and get them quick before they get weather damaged.

I wish I had the time for stuff like that mkymonkey. The place aint open on my normal days off work. The only reason I was able to stop in today was because of son's ortho appointment.

Sorry guys my bad.

It's at Edison Salvage just up the street from Woody's. I generally visit both yards when I get the chance since they are just a few blocks from each other.

Both places are the type of junkyard where ya get to walk around in the yard, pulling off whatever parts ya want yerself. There are other junkyards right in the same area where ya tell THEM what parts ya want, and they send someone to go get it for ya ... at prices similar to buying the part new from a dealership. I preffer to pull my own so I get to see how to take it apart and where all the little bits and pieces go.

I know exactly what car you're talking about - I got my cup holder and center console from it about 3 weeks ago (all for $10). I also took the hood-prop clip cause I lost mine.
I want to take the rear arms for disc setup BUT it's goin to be a f'in bitch to do so. The wheels are gone and the car is sitting completely flat on the ground - on gravel/mud. When I was there I tried to find a jack but couldn't find one in any car.
A friend of mine and I might go back out with stands and a floor jack and go for it - but not before it gets warmer...
