Another bites the dust...

So 1180 is on it's way to the crusher /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[Nartanian]

Why? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Should have at least part it out 1st...

 

[James]

You're sending them body moldings to the crusher!?!?

This is why rear doglegs are harder and harder to find...

 

[LIV4PSI]

There is WAAAYYY more money in parts than there is in scrap metal. Kids these days, I tell ya /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

I was just tired of the car being in the yard. Ive parted out about 70% of the car.

This is actually my 2nd VR4 ive crushed. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

 

[quicktsi]

Please tell me it did not have a good sunroof or rear passenger window trim. These are the two items I would like to find locally.

 

[Noobsauce]

I would have picked up the doglegs from ya. Hell I would have paid you.. Haha

 

[James]

So take off the parts and put them in a bin.... The front fender molding and rear doglegs would fit in a sock drawer!!! If I knew you were scrapping he car I would have paid the shipping to just save some of them parts.

No, it was a non-sunroof car and I already sold the rear window trim.

Yeah, there were some parts I probably could have made money on, but I did have it listed about 8 months ago as a part-out and I really didnt get a whole lot of interest. I do have quite a few things I did save though.

 

Damn, i need those rear dog legs and sideskirts /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif

BTW I understand why someone would scrap a VR4, however that were some parts that I see that could have been saved.



Exactly, if you are going to kill the weak, at least keep the parts to help the strong survive.

Every time I see a GVR4 get sent to the crusher or parted out I do get sad but I also realize that my car just became a bit more Rare. The less of them on the road the more mine is worth

 

[transparentdsm]

^^ i agree

 

[prestonztt]

I did keep the shortened USDM front and rear bumper i made last year /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It was even a hardtop, so it was one of the rarer third to begin with.

And I promise, no properly running Galant VR4 will be worth more than it takes to keep/get it that way. We should be more concerned with keeping them on the road.

What's the reason for it going to the crusher rust, chassis damage? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Actually, there wasnt much rust at all. But the car had been hit hard in the rear a few years ago and the frame was damaged. It was put on a frame machine, but its still never been the same since.

 

[JSchleim18]

Terrible part out job. Should have bought a couple bins and stored the smaller parts in there. The doglegs should have been saved.

 

[Brianawd]

Just to piss more people off



I would have parted it more out but I'm in the middle of selling my house and having a junk car in the drive way is not a great idea. I made sure to take the dash badge so yes I cut the horn off a unicorn and killed it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
