50% off sale turkey day weekend at pick-a-part

[rxracer]

so brush up on your Spanish, grab your tools, and get some super cheap parts. :)

[trbstang]

So when are you going? :D I need some Mark VII brake brackets. Are they open on Thurs or is it Fri - Sun?

Do you know if there a higher admission fee? I know they did that in the past, like $10 to get in and then 1/2 price parts.

I just looked on their website and see what I found, a free admission coupon for regular days! I guess I'll be going there for lunch this week.

I'm not sure yet on of I'll go out there. not really needing anything, other than buying parts to sell.

[TxBandit]

Just called. They're open from 9-5 and the sale is three days, Fri-Sun. Admission is $5.

I'll be there Saturday morning between 9 and 10.

If any of you go, can you find me a distributor condom in good shape? Also in need of a drivers side black sunvisor.

[trbstang]

Fred, I have a distributor cover if you want it. I didn't see any black parts at Wallisville. They did have a 96 V8 Explorer that did not look like a clunker car, with the egr intake and iron gt40 heads it looks like. I thought about it, but I doubt if I could get it. Probably would run about $125 for the heads & intake at the sale price.

You going to Northville Troy?

[Chuck98GT]

I think I'm going saturday morning. Need a MAF off a Mark VIII and see what else the have.

[trbstang]

Chuck, FYI they do have a Mark VIII at the Wallisville location late model section.

[Chuck98GT]

Was the MAF and injectors intact?

[trbstang]

As far as I could tell, the only thing missing under the hood was the radiator fan. Of course that was Tuesday noon, anything could have sold already.

[rxracer]

so what did everybody score?

i wasnt able to make it out there for the sale. had to work this past weekend.

[TxBandit]

I wasn't online prior to my trip out the Northville on Saturday. I did get the aluminum 8.8 IRS center section from a T-Bird S-Coupe. Also noticed that there was another one just like it there, may go back and get the center section out of it too.

I paid a whopping $43 for it and it's got a 3.55 gear.

T

[Chuck98GT]

Get the pink blower too.

[Chuck98GT]

What are you going to do with an aluminum center section? Melt it down and make beer cans?

[TxBandit]

For $43 it can sit on my shelf!!

I may go back and ge tthe other one....still pondering.

You still want this Holcomb seat bracket?

T

[Chuck98GT]

Yes I do want the seat bracket. Almost forgot all about it. Where do you want to meet up? Ever make it to the west side of Houston?

[Chuck98GT]

I would have swore that all T-bird center sections were cast iron. Also, the SC center sections would have 2.73 for 5 speeds or 3.27/3.31 for Autos.

Could be you have a Mark VIII center section that someone put a track loc and 3.55's in.

[TxBandit]

I can meet you tomorrow during lunch, after work, Saturday before lunch or Sunday before lunch.

Name the place and I'll be there.

Jason,

Are you planning on going? If so, what day? I haven't got to spend any quality time with you in some time, and you know how I love LKQ! I'd be game if you are!

O!

[rxracer]

Whatever day is good for you! I could use a good a snoopin' around partner.

[Otis!]

How does Friday look to you?

[trbstang]

You guys going to Wallisville I assume? Maybe I can sneak over there too if you aren't going too early.

[rxracer]

Friday is good with me. I'd like to check out all 3 if we got the time.

[gt350mustang]

Wish I was off. Need a few items.

[Otis!]

Bring it on Thomas! The more the merrier!

Joe, what do you need? If they have it, we can handle it!

O!

Joe, what do you need? If they have it, we can handle it!

O!
Well, I wonder if it would be worth it to get a used ac compressor. Besides that just some specific screws for my truck, dash pad, parking brake pedal pad, the plastic ash tray part, and a factory lug wrench. Also looking for one of these https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTi4Nh5DNZvxy-tSoYikxhfAp9VHPato8ipKU4BEb4oZ9oaOljSRw to strip parts from. If you see any prospects let me know and I will get out there one day.

[rxracer]

I'm packing the sawzall!

[Timebomb]

I may be interested.....what time? When and where?

[Otis!]

Q: What do you call a blind deer?

A: No eyed deer!

Not sure, but thinking maybe meet at Wallisville about 9-ish, and go from there? I'm making my list of knick-knack itmes now...

Are you building a box Joe? (along the lines of donk, box, bubble)

O!

[White90GT]

See yall in the morning

[Timebomb]

Guys my phone is dead.....not going to make it. My knee is killing me this morning.

[White90GT]

I wore myself out pulling off an explorer 5.0 intake manifold. I swear I hate pulling stuff off stock vehicles with all that emissions and other electrical crap. Give me a carb setup for working on anyday LOL.
