spring visit to pick-a-part

Post by aukc »

it's been over 5 months since the last time I visited the pick-a-part, so yesterday I packed a lunch (i've learned my leason, can't pull parts when hungry), loaded my tools and made the trip.

for the summary of last year's trips - http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... 43&start=0

there are still 2 wrecks in the yard from last visit (pics from last visit):

there is a new bonneville wreck, a black '98 SSEi (check out the shadows, it was actually sunny, it's a miracle):

but I also expanded my search to include buick park avenue and found this '93, the search index didn't mention it, but it turned out to be a supercharged Ultra (score):

also expanded search to include Olds 88 and found these 3, a '92, a '95 and a '96, the search index didn't mention it, but the '95 turned out to be a supercharged LSS (score):

also came across this "wreck", thought it was worth a pic, I use "wreck" in quotes because other than the bent hood, it looked like it was undamaged, and complete with the dohc v6, very sad:

Nice pics, I made a trip to the wrecker this past Saturday. The red Grand Prix looks pretty nice but those are far more common than the 91-93 version.

so here's what I pick-a-part'ed on this visit:

gray oil cap - like the look better than black cap, lettering not faded
coolant resovoir cap - lettering not faded
radiator cap - good shine, no scratches
positive battery post cap
2 cargo net clips
boost actuator, solenoid, stack, stack-solenoid vac hose, V-hose - rubber vac hoses deteriorate, good to have spares
shift/traction/ride console switch
cruise control vac hose assembly
metal vac hose pair with all rubber end connector including S-hose
exhaust connector shield (series 2)
plastic supercharger cover - all 4 clips good
fuel rail, 6 injectors, pressure regulator & vac hose, portion of wiring harness with injector & sensor connectors and harness clips -from '93, read somewhere the '93' pressure regulator is better than the '95
oil & trans dipsticks - lettering not faded
air box, hose, air temp sensor - from '93, cleaner look, no chamber on air hose, no chamber on top of snorkel
evap canister & solenoid - mine is making clicking sound
complete set CCR struts - from the '98 SSEi, newer than originals on my car, pulled all 4 in less than 2 hours
