Bumped into an old friend at the junkyard

It's wierd to look at a junkyard car and be able to say "i've driven this before"

It was only a few months ago I sold it, now it's being torn apart and abused in the junkyard. It was an extremely clean car too. Easilly the cleanest asthetically out of the four i've had in the past couple years. The windshield was tagged "abandoned" it had also been sideswiped after I sold it because the RH side was all jacked up. I figured i'd take a peice of it with me so I bought the shiny tails which I was tempted to take even before I sold it. I had to pay for them though

That's a reflection on the left, not a crack

Bummer, I put a new engine in a z31 last year and it ended up in the junk yard, t boned. I almost bought the engine because it ran great.

I remembered that discussion at the yard today. Luckilly I didn't put nearly as much work into the car as you did, or i'm sure it'd be a lot more depressing..

btw i didn't know that the tail lights were different from se to gxe as far as the circuit boards go. or maybe it chnaged by year? one of my sockets was jacked so I got one from the JY and it was different. cut and spliced worked though.

89-91 is one setup and 92-94 is a different one for the "boards" just match the "boards" to the taillights and you'll be fine

dood, I think I looked at buying your car in June. Im glad I didnt if it died that quick. IIRC it had some tranny problems along with VTC clack?

Which yard is it at? Maybe I can get some parts before it gets raped.
