Re:Whats Your Style of Junkyard Part Picking??
 

The first turbo i took out was a 86 626, pretty easy. Second was a big bitch, 87 shadow, and the third one i couldn't get out (85 daytona) which resulted in the cars windows being bashed out. ;)

Some places let me use their plasma torches.. I just cut the k car engine mounts allow the engine to fall to the ground, push the engine over and wallla expose that worthless turbo..

Damn, that's pretty crafty. The junkyard here has like 15 cars and as you could imagine, none of them are turbo. They suck ass. They are picky about what they sell and what they take. If you call looking for a part that's a bitch to get(tranny, crank, head), they keep you on hold until you hang up. That pisses me off so bad. They won't even let you pull your own parts. >:(

Doc you have to move somewhere that is humanly habitable!

Re:Whats Your Style of Junkyard Part Picking??
 

Do you think it would be safe to unbolt the engine mounts in the front on a k car to make the engine tilt forward for better access to the turbo? I was thinking of doing this but kinda worried that i might get my hand crushed :-[ :-[

$39.99 for a turbo??? Damn.. i go to junkyards around here all the fucken time and some of the people know me by name... and the fucken cheapest i have seen them want for a turbo was $200! Yeah, that wasn't gonna work, so i tried to gank one off of a turbo coupe... and then a probe... but that ---- wasn't working... too much fucken work/time and too many guys roaming around... It was a bitch too, beacuse its cold as ---- here allready. I did a #4 on a civic though. I fucken found an std manifold, but the bitch was in a civic that hit something like a brick wall because the front end was in the engine and ----... i hacked almost the whole front end off and eventually relized it even wasn't one! I got pissed and all the ---- i hacked off was back in the car through the fucken windows. Damn, that just pissed me off thinking about it!

Alright, live on the edge!lol ;D

Saltypistachio- Did you ever try the u-pull's they have there in the US? You guys got so many of them (so lucky!!), i'm sure theres one around detroit?? Up here in canada most of our u-pulls are called "pick your part". But as far as i'm sure all the u-pulls work on a price chart thats universal for any car part. So i'm guessing you shouldn't spend anymore that 80 bux max, 40 is ur lucky.

try number 5

#5 Have your coworker wake your ass up on your day off way to damn early. Between your lack of conciseness and his heavy accent take 20 minutes to find out that he wants to go to a junk yard that's about 2 hours away, now. Because your coworker looks like he is from a part of the world that likes to blow us up you feel that letting him go into the heart of redneck country alone would be a bad thing. Pull your self out of bed and put cloths on. Take cloths off when you realize that your queer ass has to go to redneck country too. Dig out cloths you use to work on your car, Carhart work pants, beer tee shirt, Redwings, and to top it off a shity Packers hat. Stop by swanky little coffee shop you frequent every morning on your way to coworker's house. Spend five minutes explaining why you look like, well, a redneck. Spend next five minutes reassuring coffee house owner that she won't need to call the police if you don't check in by five. Tell her that you will be safe because they will be aiming at your coworker first giving you critical seconds to get out of the way. Get to coworker's house, spend next hour being told what parts you will be trying to find for his 49 Chevy Truck. Explain to him what parts you would like for your 63 Corvair Spyder. Get in SUV borrowed from boss. Spend next 2 hours listening to shitty top-40 radio because boss was to cheap to spring for CD player. Stop twice to ask for directions. Get to junk yard. Spend 2 hours pawing though rusted crap only to realize that all the spare parts you have are far superior to what you are finding. Find one part that it would be nice to have spare of, have redneck owner quote you a price that's 1/3 more than you would pay out of a catalog for new old sock part. Sit on your ass for next hour and half. Spend next hour watching redneck junk yard owner try to rip off coworker who has actually found parts that he needs. Smile as coworker ass rapes redneck with his fine tuned Moroccan street market bargaining skills. As the redneck and your coworker go to pull parts you pull out cell phone and call boyfriend. When your done making plans for tonight you hang up and see a set of aluminum Rims on a rusted out 240Z that would look mighty fine on your Corvair. Find coworker, tell him to keep the redneck busy for a while. Get jack and lug wrench out of wrecked Omni proceed to pull tires off the Z. Throw them in SUV and rejoin coworker and redneck who are now exchanging racial slurs. Help coworker load his parts into SUV, the redneck wanting nothing more to do with us goes into office and slams door. Two more hours of shitty top-40 and you arrive home to find your boyfriend waiting for you to see what your haul was. After stashing rims in work space you go up stairs to have fanatic butt sex.

I'm not sure how to respond to that. Are you male or female? I'm confused, but not as much as you are I think? ???
