Price wise its going to vary.

IMO if you have room and money take all of it thats even remotoely useable. Take what you need if you need stuff.

when you say underwater how badly?

I'll give you 50 to pull the rear 1/4's if they are not rusty! Thats 50 on top of what they would cost.

ah ok i've seen lights go from 10-100 a set.

Look them over if it was half submerged they might have been soaked check the gaskets look for cracks. I'm sure you will inspect things just double peek if it was that high.

I was too late in buying an HF that was under water when the Delaware River here near the PA/NJ border overflowed last Spring. It was totally submerged with about 10-15 feet of water aboe the roof. House in the area were hit pretty hard too! Almost to the roofs of some. By the time I was able to get in contact with the car's owner, he wanted about $200 for it. I said let me think about it and thought I could bring him down to under $100 but by then he had junked it! Damn, I'm such a procrastinator!!! The whole inside of the car was covered in mold and the owner had bondo'd the crap out of the doors and fenders rather than hammering out the dents so I don't think it really was worth it. Well, that's what I keep telling myself anyways...

sorry havent been around had an unplanned weekend you know. but i did call the guy the one day and i couldnt get ahold of anyone so i went down there friday to just see for myself and these good condition rexs are a joke

one was an 87 gutted and rusted to nothing and the other was probabaly a 91 couldnt tell because it appeared to be a mAd dRIfT!!! victim. back drive wheel was shoved under the car the entire side had the perfect impression of a gaurdrail and the interior was gutted with a ghetto battery relocation

sorry to let you down ill keep my lookin for different junkyardws in ohio or something
