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

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..

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
