Default My $15 Junkyard Find!!

So, I know I probably don't really need to make a thread about this, but I am going to anyways because I am DAMN happy I found this!

So me, BauleyCivic, and Sander, were walking through the junk yard today and I happen to see a hatch. I look inside, and in the trunk I find one speaker grille. A smile shot across my face and I quickly hurried inside the hatch to see if the rest of the rear speaker kit remained. Well what do you know, the complete - yes COMPLETE - OEM Optional Discontinued Incredibly Rare Hatchback Speaker Kit was inside of this hatch I quickly snatched it up, went to pay, and to my surprise it was only $15!!! Anyways, enough talk, here are some pictures:







This hatch also had the OEM audio console, but unfortunately it was badly damaged

I also made out like a bandit at the junkyard. I didn't really need anything...but I grabbed a few nuts and bolts...I held them out to the guy and he was like $1.00

See if you can pick out the expensive one


BTW they had a 95 EX Auto...motor, interior was still there (thats where I got parts from) if I was still looking for a SOHC VTEC head. AND they had a DC2 LS Auto with a full interior...shoulda got the seats but oh well

Yeah steve...VERY good day at the junkyard

Good deal man. Best thing i ever found at the junkyard was a set of HX wheels with nice *** tires for $40. Even better was when i sold them for $100 when i realized the calipers on my Si were too big for them to fit on there.
