Junkyard findings

i plan on grabbing up the two rx2, both rx4s and the 808. This was only the one junkyard. The cars are very solid and def. worth restoring.

It makes me so mad that these are scattered through junk yards everywhere.

But for some odd reason, I never see any haha

i love old school cars.good luck with the restos. the only old car that i'v seen in a junkyard worth saving was an old early 70's renault. i didn't know what kind it was ,but it was a fastback and the exterior and the interior was in very good shape.i opened the hood to see what was under and what i found was a twin cam fuel injected engine that was mounted ass backwards.the front of the engine was mounted to the trans.
