Default Local wreckers find

Well went into the local wreckers to see their new stock and some of there older stock.

Went over to a Xe/d/f ute no front grill or head lights but had the S-pack bumper and it was in nice nick. Went to the side and was amazed and its a nice s-pack could be put back on the road it was not a write off but dash and seats and one door missing. I am not going to buy this one. Do anyone want anything off this and if you do just pm me



My question what is your best wrecker finds?

Seems like the dear,hard to get bits are already gone ......
You can pick up 4 L XGs for well under a grand, complete with 4 L.4 speed autos
Why would you play around with XD,XEs incomplete ...
Unless its a factory 8.or something rare,they usually are at wreckers or scrappies

About 10 years ago I picked up a genuine RS2000 Escort steering wheel for only $13 at Pick A Part. It was in real nice condition.
Also managed to find a genuine HQ GTS steering wheel at Andy's Autos wreckers yard for only $25. It was in great condition apart from needing a new spring in the horn button.
