it's been 3 months since the last time I visited the pick-a-part, so yesterday I made the trip.

for the summary of my spring visit - http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... 60&start=0

there are still 5 wrecks in the yard from last visit (prior visit/recent visit):

Nice, I've only been seeing SE's lately around by me. :roll:
It would be nice to find some SLE, SSE, SSEi's once in a while. Hope that the trip went well and that you were able to get what you went for. :)

yes and no, main purpose was to check tail lights on the white SSEi, but they were all delaminated. But did manage to pick off a few usefull items, will post pics and comments later

parts that I picked on the Aug 4th visit

SSE logo'ed hood insulator (this one has to be in the best shape I've ever seen one)

Image

everything else

Image

rear view mirror (has off/min/max switch which mine doesn't have, don't know if they're interchangable, haven't researched yet but grabbed it anyway)

Image

cruise control unit (that's my original on the left, I wanted one that looked better and the one I picked on the right after a bit of clean-up)

Gotta love those junk yard runs. I did that last weekend and have documented the results elsewhere in these forums. I have yet to make a run that wasn't successful on some level or another. I may not always find exactly what I went there after, but I always find something that makes the trip worthwhile. Sometimes I even find stuff that's a totally unexpected bonus.

I was just there last month, but 2 fresh wrecks came in so I couldn't resist.

I only had time to check out the Bonnevilles this time, there are still 4 wrecks in the yard from last visit (last months visit/todays visit):

and the 2 fresh wrecks that prompted the visit:

Makes me wish my car was a generation older, I can't find any '00+ nearby for the life of me, but there are literally 10+ of the 90's models at any given junkyard.

The pick and pull near me did a 1/2 off for Labor Day weekend and I couldn't find a *dang* thing for my car, other than a $2 W-body dipstick tube for my new headers. :banghead:
