Not a lot to post pictures of as of yet. I have my radio located near the lower cup holder and I have been wanting to get a factory radio and a few other misc pieces like trunk panel trim, sun visor, and ex mirror tweeter speakers. I was way out of my normal commute so why not double it and hit the junk yard.
I must say the car requires a lot of throttle to stay above 60mph, feels like it's dragging a parachute.
Filled up before the trip Down town
got to the yard and it was as expected, I would say it is maybe 6 acres and cars are quickly turned and burned for scrap.
All of the sedans were junk inside and Un remarkable. The first car I dug into was a red 98 civic ex coupe. Despite being partially picked it was in the best condition of the other cars in the lot. The yard pulls Un damaged engines and transmissions and "sets" them on the roof of the car. Nearly all of them were ex models with moon roofs being shattered by the transmissions on top of them but this red one was still complete and water tight
I pulled the radio and sun visors from this car
There was also a green ex completely smashed from dropping the engine on the roof of the car. It was a shame the interior and body were all complete but now covered in mud and dirt.
The second car was also an ex with 317k miles. This car appeared to be fully loaded and was also completely intact. I snagged the floor mats and trunk panel out of this one.
Worth observing the transmission on the roof of the white car
and the wiring schematics for power locks
I also removed my tint and installed window visors. The yard was unremarkable with nearly 8-10 civics all having around 178k miles except the white coupe with 317k. Every single car had a red mileage indicator for maintenance needed (a button you push when you change the oil every 5,000 miles. Blatantly obvious oil changes were missed as all engines were considered non responsive to tradition starting techniques.
It was fun exploring but also kind of startling to see how people neglect and mistreat their primary mode of transportation. To me my civic is a point of pride to keep it clean, however to the general population a vehicle is only as useful as long as it requires no maintenance and then it is sold to a cash for cars place like this. But yeah
