Awesome junkyard score

Post by haro1225 »

I was at the junkyard in my area and they had just put out a 97 sse almost identical to mine. I got the leather skin for the drivers seat back (mine has a huge hole) for $5. But the big score is these:
Image

All 4 rims complete with brand new tires for $150, I couldn't pass it up. :banana:

Tires don't exactly match 2 have a different style tread than the other 2.

I think I'd like to sell my painted crosslaces soon (they are chipping).

More pictures to come tomorrow.

Now you gotta get the chrome lugnut caps (chrome plated plastic, actually). I buy them in bags of like 10 or something from my dealer to replace ones that crack and fall off.

Why not just get polished lugnut? Expensive kinda yes, but would look much better. And not worrying about them cracking.

Is your rocker panel falling off?

Looks real good, I'm a strong fan of body-color Aerolytes but they probably wouldn't look right on a 96-99...

I am going to eventually get those lug nut caps, but money is kind of tight at the moment. I don't like how the wheels look good and the lugs suck.

It is all rusted behind the plastic, and some of the clips are missing. That's on my list of things to fix too.

Be sure to check out this link: http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... f=7&t=9929

I still have 2 clips leftover if you want them.

FYI, I found that my local tire shop carried chrome lug nuts for $1 each.
