parts cars are wonderful things

Hi All,

Yet again, the parts car saved me. I posted a couple of days ago about a
noise in the front suspension. The consensus seemed to be that it was
probably the strut bearing. It ended up being the spring, which I had at
hand.

 In the last 8 months, the parts car has yielded or will soon donate:
1 hood
2 doors
1 bumper
1 driver's seat with working bun warmer!
2 front coil springs
4 control arms with new poly bushings
4 wheels
1 trunk
Of course engine, tranny, diffs are good as is most of the interior and all
the lights and grill plus a whole lot more.

This is not a sly attempt at an ad on the list BTW. I'm keeping this stuff.
It's just an ode to the parts car. One man's junk truly can be another's
treasure!

Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
