Junkyard Finds.

Here is where you post up crap (or cool stuff, up to you lol) that you personally have found/purchased from a junkyard.

I've personally found this stuff:

Full set of Supra Turbo injectors (then later found 3 more lol)
6 RX7 Low impedence injectors
'84 300ZX Turbo injectors
replacement 280ZX NA injectors
(all of that stuff I got for free )

I've also found:
-Clifford Research 6-2 header (on my car now)
-BAE Turbo kit off of a '75 280Z (grabbed the N42 that's on my car now, friend of mine has the turbo kit) (44k original miles on the car!)
-MSA 6-1 header (headers are only $20 from my junkyard, btw :P )
-3 Enkei Meshies (grabbed two of them)
-Polyurethane front swaybar endlinks
-seen a couple sets of Swastika rims (but never got any)
-APC reclinable bucket seats
-'88 200SX SE V6 (grabbed the intake manifold cover)
-300ZX Turbo intake manifold cover (is now polished and forsale :P )
-one of the early model center taillight pieces for the 280ZX (the one without the black lines through it! didn't buy it though )
-there's a couple MN47 heads out there right now (I wish I could snag, but I don't have the money for one )
-240Z with Scarab widebody kit (didn't get it lol)

I've found more but I can't think of any right now lol

I think I found some light bulbs once... and some scented rear view mirror trees. I put one in my tool box so my tools smell fresh.

I found several mosquitoes. Well, actually, they found me.

Other than that, I don't recall finding anything out of the ordinary on my numerous junkyard trips - just lots of good stock parts for my Zs, and many that were priced higher than what BD, MSA, or CN would sell them for new.

glad someone see's it my way! I would personally have loaded it, just so natural selection had a chance to act.

Hey, I found the wheel first! lol
I got a cap too, forgot about that :P

I'm probably going to use them. :P (you'd probably just buy something "better" off Ebay, anyways)
