Current Events > car guys of CE: what is the most available and ready shit lying in junk yards at

(+) Yeah! (+)

at the moment, what are the most cheapest and easily accessible parts that are able to be commonly found everywhere?

I am finding out the hard way its tough to find 80's GM shit....so i feel like giving up on my fiero i crashed and am looking to play around with stuff thats a dime a dozen

Probably something like a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic out of sheer volume

We don't really have pick and pull junkyards around here anymore, they're considered an eyesore and too much of a safety liability to operate :(

Also, i wouldn't advise trying to pick up a running vehicle or even a project car from a junkyard anyway; it's common practice to just go balls out and destroy certain components to get at the good stuff more easily

yeah, we have like something called "kenny u pull" and other stuff like that..i was hoping to find something used again off craiglist and kijiji and try and mod a bit

i just, am sick of seeing everybody out there in their slammed miatas and their 240's/180's and its like..........ffs, you need to be made of money to join in on the fun or do anything lol it seems like these people are just pulling their shit straight out of the garbage and slapping it together and still are having a blast with it

Honda Civic, of course

Took me forever to find control arms for a c10 rebuild. You really do need to use more resources than just junk yards nowadays. I know that doesnt help but findIng out whats rarest so you can always hunt for it is a good start. Especially if you have a laundry list if parts.

Find forums too dedicated to your specific vehicle more than just gamefaqs, lots of know it alls that actually do know a lot on specific forums.

*misunderstood your post, but I dont delete comments

I just feel this shit shouldnt cost a arm and a leg

I thought that car was made out of duct tape for a split second

right? and mf'ers have the audacity to be like "6k or best offer".....i know for the most part the best shit is under the hood and thats where all the money is but its tough to even show up to play when mf'ers want like 4k for a smashed up chasis that was in the middle of being parted out or something........this sucks way worse and makes me feel more poor then ever like a reminder of a time when i was younger on my shitty AMD chip and all my friends were smashing it on their intels.......its just never enough man
