Default great day at the junkyard!

I have a ghetto 91 std and it's been my goal to get her looking as clean as I can for as little money possible. As of right now there's only the driver seat in it and it's a crappy aftermarket piece of crud. The fenders are in pretty bad shape too, for some odd reason when you open my doors they go "SCREEEEECH" and bend the fenders in. So I hit up the junkyard today with my fingers crossed, pick up some mint DA Integra seats and great fenders for only $65. I'll throw up some pics when I get everything in place

Congrats on the junkyard finds! I remember buying 3x complete turbocharger setups for $10 apiece about 8 years ago from the yard (DSM, Dodge, and a Volvo) but I just used them as bookends. Getting a good deal from the yard always means a good day.

Yeah, that's a hell of a find. Very nice.

About 6yrs ago, I was cruising the yard for a new rear window latch when a rollback pulled in and dropped off a mint silver CRX. It was like the ark of the covenant had just showed up.... not even a dent on it and the interior was almost perfect.
The rollback driver said the motor was bad and some old man just wanted it hauled away.
I still kick myself for not making an offer on that car. A chance like that will never happen again in my lifetime.

if you cant afford to buy parts at the junk yard you shouldnt go. its pretty sorry to steal from a junk yard when its already cheap.

Way to screw other people over while also fitting in with the stereotype everyone has of Honda owners.
