All about my REALLY AWESOME day at the junkyard
So Dad and I were gonna cruise his 64 1/2 Mustang down to the auto parts store to pick up a bolt for the Peugeot, when I suggested that we go to the junkyard while we are out and look for a grille for my wife's turbo legacy.
When I get to the yard, I notice there is a new SVX in the yard, a 92 claret. It's not in the greatest of shape, but it had the corner light that I needed for mine. In the course of digging for a screwdriver or something to that effect in the car, I notice that the trunk is missing it's center light panel, and I think to myself damn, must have had an Alcyone light panel. Don't find a screwdriver, but I decide to dig in the car and see if it has the under seat tray or the cupholder, when I happen to glance between the seats and see this: So about this time I'm doing the happy dance, and I go to the front of the car to lift the hood and see if the drive train was still in it (it wasn't) but I found this on the hood: So I went back to the inside of the car in order to see if there are any other goodies in there, and I find these inside the car: I did forget the drive shaft though, so next week when I get paid I'm going to go back and get the drive shaft, and check to see what ratio the rear diff is. The pedal cluster looks like a PITA to get to since the car is smashed on that side, so I probably won't grab that (It's just a normal boring Subaru MT pedal cluster, not a WRX cluster like I was hoping), but now I have almost all I need to convert it to a 5 speed I wonder if this belonged to anyone on here? Doubtful, but someone who is into their SVX enough to swap to a 5 speed has probably at least heard of the board.
