Hittin' up the junkyard Tuesday morning...

I went to the junkyard on Friday and man what a mess.:crazy: I found a really sweet contour and I was going around the front to look at the engine and ended up up to my knees in water and slush. I wasn't happy.:mad: I'm going back maybe this weekend to get a door and fender and probably some other goodies. I also scored an unbroken cup holder.:drool: Then only good one I found in all the cars I looked in. I got a mirror, jack & tire iron, owners manual, and the cup holder for $10. I thought that was a fair price.



Big G :cool:
 
I think the good score you made more than makes up for the water and slush. ;)
It's not easy finding an unbroken cup holder.
 
well i went back to the junkyard yesterday. the entire row of contours were all crushed :cry: but that only means that they have more they are going to put in that row next week. i'll keep ya'll posted
 
I'm gonna go to my local yard tomorrow and see what I can find. DeNaples I believe it's called. Didn't have many Contiques last time I went, but that was about a month ago.

-Edit.

Actually it was back before the E0 was totaled.

^^More grayish, IMO. I took a look at the three I have here. IIRC, the color was opal grey.


Please, someone find XT the driver's side floor mat! I have searched every Contour in the yards and had no luck finding that one for him.
 
I don't think they are the same gray, his is a pre-98.
I'll check though.
 
I'm going back up to the junkyard tomarrow to pick up a set of tires and rims ,a door , a drivers side fender, a power steering cooler and probably a few other odds and ends. It will probably be a full day at the yard. :cool: I hope it isn't as sloppy as it was last time I was up there. I'm going tonight to get a pair of rubber boots so I don't get wet feet again.:laugh: There was only one v6 there last time I was there ans the motor gone.:nonono: I was hoping to swipe some extra parts off it for mine. Wish me luck.:D
