Went to a Junk yard yesterday

David · 07-31-2009, 01:11 PM

And amongst the rows upon rows of cars, I found this

And then the junk yard just had to be stupid, and say it was a 92

Any way, it's a hardtop auto MKI, so if anyone needs anything from it, I can make a list, and give approximate prices, so the next time I go, I can get parts for you guys. Ask for a part, and I'll tell you if I remember it being there, or not. BTW, there's no engine.

Seats were gone, Steering wheel was good, all tan, good headliner. Anything in particular you want?

como · 07-31-2009, 10:44 PM

my 85 doesnt have a brake light in the spoiler, that's for sure.

How do you know its not an 87/88/89?

stu4u3 · 08-01-2009, 02:16 PM

My bad, it is an 87/88/89. Tail lights are the tell tail sign.

rspidydude · 08-03-2009, 07:26 PM

how much for the tail light assembly?

87mk1gold · 08-04-2009, 02:01 PM

I need a good, solid steering shaft. Mine is sloppy in the center sliding joint. There shouldn't be any slack between the two parts. 95673 Thanks.

David · 08-04-2009, 02:06 PM

I'm gonna go pretty soon again. I need to get some parts for a friend's miata. I'll check the prices on the parts I've been asked about and let you all know. And I'm not sure how much shipping will be on the larger parts.

newtomr2 · 08-04-2009, 10:43 PM

are the a/c lines still there and in good shape??????

...and it's not an '89 because the high-mount brake light in the spoiler isn't LED

traintech86 · 08-05-2009, 11:49 PM

hey david, its been a bit but how ya doin haha. long time no talk to. if there any chance you'd be able to snag control arms for the front wheels and also the throttle cable? and if there is any chance you can get the lines for the clutch that would be outstanding sir. if you can drop me a pm so we can work out a payment method. thanks man!

David · 08-06-2009, 08:23 AM

Alright. Well, next time I go to said junk yard, I'll look at the price sheat, and tell you all the prices, because I really don't know what they charge as of right now.

YellowJacket · 08-06-2009, 09:27 AM

Just FYI... That engine lid prop rod will fetch at least $30 bucks on ebay if its not broken. Ask me how I know...

Also that front valance looks to be in good shape for someone....

Tails have already been mentioned as a good part for resale.

Looks like drivers side and center c-trim might be good.

David · 08-06-2009, 09:50 AM

I think that junk yard charges too much for tail lights, and the lip looked pretty bad. My camera phone makes everything look better than what it really is.

muffinman · 08-06-2009, 10:03 AM

i found 3 this past weekend down here in S.Fl. One was perfect aside from the obvious blown HG.: oh and some a-hole busted one side of the c-pillar and layed some crap on the other one and cracked it but i was able to get the rubber pieces that go in front of the headlights......FREE.

David · 08-06-2009, 10:54 AM

This is the first time I've ever seen an MR2 at a junkyard. :/

muffinman · 08-06-2009, 11:03 AM

i've seen plenty ok MK1's just never any MK2's

Yea, I could really the air dam with all the nuts, bolts, and backing studplates. Sent me a PM with a price on those parts.
My air dam was smashed in by the previous owner and I broke pretty much every stud taking it off. /: Thank you very much.

PS those fender are hard to come by, might as well sell them on ebay, cause I've only seen one pair, and I won it.

traintech86 · 08-10-2009, 08:17 PM

hey with all these mk1's in the yard, is anyone able to get me some control arms? lmao front lower

potatoe · 08-12-2009, 09:26 PM
