zdriver123 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 So about a week ago, a guy stopped at my house and asked a bunch of questions about my 84 GL wagon. He said that he owned nearly the same car and had a few parts left over if I wanted them. Of course I said yes and asked if I could buy them off him. He kindly declined and just told me that it would be great to get them out of his garage. So today he showed up with a nearly pristine factory service manual, a NOS in the original wrapping and box water pump and clutch, a new factory bike rack, air deflector for the hatch and a perfect cargo area cover that matches the interior of my rig. Talk about lucky. He told me he'll be back over this weekend and he may still have parts. So I guess it's wait to see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I went to a local pub one day to get some water, drove my Gl hatchback. Someone in the pub asked who had the Scooby, only a few people were there in the early afternoon, so i spoke up. He mentioned he had an extra wheel like my wagon wheels, and i could have it for free. When i left later, the wheel was setting next to my driver door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 My car had been sitting for a while so i went to go work on it. As soon as i opened the hood a guy walks across the parking lot and tells me hes been waiting for me. He hands me a box of brand new front brake pads.

Now if you ever get the car moving, you'll be able to stop it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Free parts days are the best. I was talking to the guy that runs a local scrap yard, and I got on to the topic of my Brat which I was restoring at the time. He told me to hang on for a second, and came back with a set of jump seats he gave to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free...parts, looks like a nice free moving active part..... oooh, wait, that was a fly buzzing around. Glad the server is back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubies Subie Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 You guys are lucky, just the opposite happens to me, back when I was a teenager, and I had my first car, I was working at this gas station repair garage place, and I was the gas pumper, once day a car comes in that was identical to mine, but it needed work, so the mechanic robbed the parts off my car to fix the customers, I had to call my parents for a ride home after work, and ..whoa did that mechanic get in trouble …. My folks weren’t real happy about what he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
