August 4, 200520 yr I must say, I now know why some of us live at the yards! While I was at the Lynnwood PAP on Tuesday I made quite a score! In one day I managed to score a pushbar off an 81 wagon and a 3rd eye from the same car, pieced together a new driver's seat as well as a VLSD off of a turbo legacy and all the doodads that I've been looking for to make my car perfect. This was my lucky day I guess, but now I'm hooked and will be making another trip next week sometime to get the rest of the bits I need. Just had to share my enthusiasm!
August 5, 200520 yr I believe the correct spelling is "PnP". I agree that it can be rewarding - I spend far too much time prowling around the ones in NV and N.CA.
August 5, 200520 yr Up there its PaP, not the same as our PnP. Same concept, different name. I love the suprises I find at the yards. -Brian

August 5, 200520 yr Yeah Brumby boy,.. U aint wrong Id love to wander around a junkyard Damn PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE WOW, times have changed, I've always heard the expression as, "You ain't far wrong." Oh well, looks like down under will never be the same. Hey Freak, how much of the Leg Turbo was still there, I need the intake manifold complete.
August 5, 200520 yr Author Corky, the whole engine was there as of Tuesday, but no turbo it was gone... I wanted that too.
August 5, 200520 yr Author I've seen one brat there EVER. It was a lifted gen 1 that we snagged some of the lift off of.
August 6, 200520 yr Corky and I pulled the intake manifold today so that's gone. And whoever moved the alloy wheels to other locations around the yard can forget about going back to pick them up....I got all four of them (thanks Corky).
August 6, 200520 yr I think I know the person who put the lifted GEN I brat in pap lol. It' was blue right? with cut up fenders? and a topper? Anyway. Yeah I scored that one day 2 years ago when I got all the nice interior parts for my brat, off of a hatch back. I want to find blue seats that nice though, haven't had any luck with that.
August 7, 200520 yr I wish I had known you wanted seats; I pulled carpeting out of a blue interior (wagon) which was very clean and left the nice seats behind since I didn't need them (just before WCSS7). Sorry that car went to the crusher shortly thereafter I think. I'll look for it again if I'm a row off. I think I know the person who put the lifted GEN I brat in pap lol.

August 7, 200520 yr Oh yeah, I've got everything I need to put the brat back to it's interiors orginal color except floor carpet and seats. I Can find blue carpet anyware so I wasn't worried about that, just seats. I also want to get the body done on that poor car because it's a horrible eyesore right now... But I don't know how to get it done right and affordable.
