so decided to got to the junk yard with some friends to help them find parts for there honda's. well i split off and browse around alittle. i about shit myself when i found a 97-99 RS sitting in front of me. well in my efforts to return my GS back to running order. i ran over to see that the car was an auto. decided that maybe i could salvage the headlights and if i'm lucky the taillights are still intact. sure enough it's all there and in decent shape.





on the way home i picked up a powerball and already have some plastx at the house. so hopefully the headlights are able to be saved. i'll post up once i've tried the powerball.

oh yeah i payed $100 for everything!

They cleaned up nicely, good job

BTW you may be able to get rid of that one spot you're having issues with by doing a little light wet sanding

far out! There ain't a one of those things in a junkyard in all of SoCal.

Not to thread jack, but i went out to the local pull a part today, and got a set of 2gb headlights that should clean up really nice, and a rear disk conversion w/ new wheel hubs for..... 50$ . We should sticky this and make it a "what you found at the Junkyard" thread or something.

Banned

Mine looked worse than those, and had that same type of "drip".

Id recommended wetsading with 1000 to 2500 grit, then hand buff with Meguiars ScratchX and SwirlX. Follow up with PlastX again and they should be cyrstal clear

Some say that he's driven over more Covenant than he's shot, and that his grenades aren't where you'd expect them to be...

Well with alittle wetsanding and plastx. The spot came off and the headlights look awesome. Too bad I can't put them on the car till may.

You might want to hit up halfass, it appears that he needs a set if you need some quick cash

well made another trip to the junk yards today. low and behold not only did i find myself a NV-T350 trannie i found two of them. one without the bellhousing. and i also snagged myself a 2Gb rear bumper.



taking the trannies monday to be flushed and inspected by my friends transmission shop.

What does that yellow tag say on the trans?? Looks like you might have got you a rebuilt trans.

97 Eclipse GS, 2.2 stroker,Gt35R,MSNS,E85 @20psi. 450hp 370tq..With issues

It says to uses mits and mopar trans fluid with the part numbers on it. The one without the bellhousing looks amazing.

Every 2g had the handles removed. But the interior was pretty much intact on all of them.

nice finds at a good price...all the yards i normally found thing dont let you go and pull your own stuff anymore and charge out the ass all of the sudden.

sounds like a good deal...happy searching

i have a crap load of pull it yourself junk yard. out of all the years i have gone i have never seen and 2g in there. i just find advengers. nice find

i've been thinking about painting the car panda or keeping it black. what do ya'll think? i mean the bumper i got for the car is white.


stable: 05' Evo MR
95' GS (part of jackstand racing since 05')

white with a black top? that always looks good.

yeah like a talon. i've loved that look since i first had my talon. it was black and red.

yeah i've been to auctions back home since most of my friends and family have licenses for the big auto auctions. i'll probably go with them again when i get back to NC.

nice score! espcially for 100!! most junkyards around here want over 100 for a pair of lights by themselves!!

Striped and left for dead now rebuilding
96 Eclipse Rs will be T again soon
