As Rev and RJ can attest, it's a pain to throw away good parts that don't have much commercial value, and you'll never use. These fleet owners (more than 2 cars), have stuff they've forgotten about, and room to keep it. I have to throw stuff out if I can't figure a way to use it. All Fairmont stuff that's in decent shape, but not rare or special. Sun visors: I may take them apart and use the swivel rods to hand wet rags in the shop. The Donor had really worn out bucket seats which I disassembled and derusted and painted with rust paint and refinished the plastic back cover, until I saw and got a pair of reclining bucket seats from a newer Fairmont. A local neighbour found a couple of low profile seat mechanisms from his weekly bin-hopping run (he hates seeing good junk go to the landfill), and I can make a pair of seats for the shop coffee break table (I spoil myself), that won't sit on the floor and can still be tucked out of the way. But I've got perfectly good seat foam for the bench seats, old door panels, 2-door side rear and door glass and the sedan rear heated glass, a steering column, and so on, and they have to go to the dump. I just can't figure a way to use them and I don't have a place to keep them. Plus I'm going to change hats after this weekend and wear my Mr. Fix-It reno hat for a month and a half (have to finish 5 projects under a grant by September 15), then Insulate and finish the drywall and paint. What do you do, HTBO? Heave The BassTurds Out? :banghead3:
great idea I still have an almost perfect dash out of a 75 Riviera that probably will end up like this 73 LeSabre dash:
