So I went to junk yard to find me a new driver seat and possibly some other doo dads like a VLSD.....

First thing I see right off the bat, S12 baby. Besides minor body damage and a missing steering wheel it seemed pretty solid (or so it may look)

Following the trail on my epic quest I stumble across this.... 240z? Sorry if I'm wrong Z fan boys.

I stumbled upon the first of only two 240sx's in a 40 acre lot, pretty much everything was stripped except the engine, despite the bent hood the engine was covered.

Pic of the engine, apart from the obvious missing pieces it still decent for a rebuild.

Last pic, I couldn't bare to show this 240sx. I almost cried when I saw it. It seems someone got to the LSD before me (rear axle is missing)

Well that's it for me, I didn't find was I was looking for other than a few badges to dangle from my rear tow hook (Honda guys beware....). Take care NicoNuts!

Found a picture. It's a couple of years old pic though. Seriously, this is like my school. I've learned a lot by taking out parts from junk cars.

No need to cry. This is a junkyard that I go to and they've been saving a lot of them.

Yes, man, you are lucky to live close by. That place is over 100 miles round trip for me.
