    cut off a good chunk of the back from a Maverick! It also had a perfect black dashpad that I pulled for $20. And it had good bumpers! I might go back for the front valence next chance i get (y)

    They are real nice! But in all honesty, I've never seen a rusty Maverick fender in person up here. Ever. And ive seen a lot of fenders lol
    Yeah it sure was a suprise! I seem to stumble across good dashpads too often! They're a pain take out!! Haha!
    Yes pretty nice stuff! The car came into the yard running/driving w/out brakes

    Really nice car, as far as junk goes :thumbs2:

    I was in Tacoma back in 05 and I did notice that there were a lot of old cars still on the road without rust issues :)

    exactly! and yep! you'd think our cars would be falling to pieces! but in actuality, just about every old car you come across is more then restorable.

    If anybody needs that section of trunk floor its in perfect shape. just lemme know and ill go hack it out (y)

    I find it easier to buy the entire car and bring it home to part out than spending numerous trips to the junkyard. I tell them they can have it back when I am done. Seems to work for me. (y)
