    Had a great time in Columbus yesterday. Found alot of good deals and met up with a few people from here and the .com board as well. I found some really great deals up there and seen even more great deals than i could have imagined. Toploader trannies for $350, T5's for $300-$350, intakes for $100, sport mirror sets for $75 and just so much stuff that i couldnt keep up with it all. here's an idea of what i bought, some of it i'll use and the rest i'll either put up for a rainy day or post it here for you guys (y)

    this come from Craig :)

    eep in mind that Joe, in association with RPS, will be offering a repopped pivot ball here in the very near future :yahoo: and IF everything goes as planned, everyone will benefit from it and it's great price (y)

    No wonder I didn't find anything at Columbus! I saw almost no Maverick parts and what little good stuff that I saw was WAY in the stratusphere; like deluxe gas caps for $225...stuff like that.

    Was it the one with the driver's door with the damage at the bottom? Lite tan interior?

    It has to be the same one.....only brown one I saw there.....but maybe not??
