    They're still out there! Hurried off to the yard this morning to be the first one to the Mav, grabbed a few goodies! V8, Auto on the floor, LDO, former AC car. Gotta go back for the underside parts and seat tracks once they lift the car up.

    Yeah i took the hood. Was kinda iffy on it tho for $40... :D Its in really good shape, just a couple small spots by the drain holes are rusty. Overall very nice though

    All the parts you mentioned are in good shape if I remember, but around here those parts are nearly ALWAYS in good shape...scrap metal to me..happy to grab them if someone needs them tho. I gave away a bunch of rust free fenders and doors lol. Nobody around here needs them much

    Spoiler looked interesting. It was bolted on but also had a seam seal around the whole thing. Front valences are a hassle to take off though lol

    Never saw a junkyard without weeds! (y)
    Do they spray or what do they do to keep it so nice? I wouldn't even be afraid to reach under one of those! :)
