DO NOT WANT!!1


Yeah, overall we had a kickass time, I got a bunch of parts, and he got a sweet, rust free 122 shell. We're uber sunburned though. haha

[.t.i.m.m.y.240]

:drool: Man, we don't have any yards like that where I'm from.

DO you think I could ever convince you to do some shopping for me?:please:

[94850tx]

I need to take a weekend trip and hit that place up. How are their prices?

[smosit]

Gabe,

that's not the same junkyard as the one near Coweta is it? where the hell is this place? i'ld really like to get a new back seat for my wagon ....and maybe some new carpet too ...oh! and a new tailgate.

[b4_ford]

Almost sad to see so many solid cars being torn apart. But at least places like that keep our cars on the road.

[240T man]

Dood, a Ferromex C4400-9W and and an old BN SD40-2. Nice catch.

:drool: Man, we don't have any yards like that where I'm from.

I bet we could arrange something. I'll let you know when I go back down

Very reasonable actually. Its a really cool place. Not your average nasty JY

Gabe,

Its in Edmond, which is a OKC suburb

Yea you can defnally find what you need. Let me know if you decide to come down!

Yea, its a bit sad actually. The good thing is they will sell you a entire car with a clear title if you want one. They also hardly ever crush a car. They make sure its completely picked over before so.

[drinking940s]

hey, any luck with the sticker?

[shellshock]

hey, any luck with the sticker?


gonna try to work on it tues at work. We shall see :-D

[drinking940s]

carlise is sooooooooon! like, may 16th, and if i get a picture of me on the auto cross track with tremendous bodyroll, i'll throw a shout out to you!


btw, your car is looking sharp!

[Krisverde]

I wish AZ had some jy's like that. How long does plastic last in OK? Maybe I to can convince you to pick something up for me.

[shellshock]

HAHAHA, proally about as long as it does in OK. What are you needing?

Thanx drinking940s. I will try to get it to you by then!

[pbryantr]

Maybe I should make the trip there someday since it is less than 4 hours away. I have some family up in OKC I haven't seen in some time.... Hmm....

[CaptainLeah]

paradise...:run:

[Brickster151]

I wish AZ had some jy's like that.

Is Hirsch still there? They are bigger than that.

[drinking940s]

drinking940s----->rob

[norcal505]

lol
that Volvo truck in AWESOME!!11!!!

[240kid]

wow...wish CA had an all volvo JY

[Brickster151]

wow...wish CA had an all volvo JY

There are a few.

[GrandmaSideways]

damn I want that black 960. Well, not anymore.
I would love to grab a late model 960 with a finished motor that's blown, and swap in a redblock.

[badvlvo]

There are a few.


But the yards in Sac are overpriced.

[Krisverde]

HAHAHA, proally about as long as it does in OK. What are you needing?

I need b-pillar trim in blue.

Is Hirsch still there? They are bigger than that.
I don't believe I have ever heard of Hirsch, do you remember were they used to be or are located?

[thevolvokid]

Swedish Is cool, I've bought alot of my 140 parts there, but they like to rape you on prices on different things, but seeing as it is the only Volvo JY in OKC I have to use it lol.

[Brickster151]

But the yards in Sac are overpriced.

There's a few others that are not in Sac too.

I don't believe I have ever heard of Hirsch, do you remember were they used to be or are located?

They're on this road down the street a little from the yard next to the Ecology in South Phoenix. I got my 94' B230FT from them about 4 years ago. Prices can vary from decent to expensive depending on what you want.

[.t.i.m.m.y.240]

I bet we could arrange something. I'll let you know when I go back down

Please do. essentially, I would need a black interior. I'm looking (much like Kris) plastic bits. But please let me know when you go back I would love to see if you could get some stuff that's very hard for me to locate

[spe1983]

You guys can email them with whatever requests you want, they will pull and ship where ever and whatever you need. They have pulls and shipped parts all the way down to Brazil, Europe and Australia. Just a massive yard, prices are ok on some things crazy on others.

[GrandmaSideways]

nice baby blue 140 and the tan 1 or 2 series behind it, they look like they have mint paint
That 122 shell is in AMAZING condition too!
