Found yesterday evening at the local Junkyard.




Who makes these ? Its pretty cool. Feels better in the hand than the factory handle, and the button is very positive engagement with a nice 'click' when you use it.

Is dcAuto a junkyard ??

DCAuto? Never heard of it in DC. A quick google search shows them in NC.

I have a friend that works in a yard just outside dc, and in the midst of working for them (I do networking for them) they mentioned two 928s in the yard. Not much left on them but I managed to grab the shift handle and I will be heading back for more parts Sat. (Whatever my little hands can grab!)

Wow thats Epic. I stood around feeling sad looking at the trashed cars. I think this yard is the last stop before the metal reprocessing. I just was there to fix the computer. Damn shame!
[Oh i got more stuff today. LOL]
ECU from the kick panel (from an 87 I believe an S4)
Floormats
Wheels (how ever they measured 7 inches from bead to bead).
87 headlights. Didnt get the buckets as the yard ran out of time (closed at 2)
weatherstripping and window trim from front window.
climate controls very unmolested. Last one left.

--Why does every junkyard car have to have a broken windshield.

That's a cheap-o PepBoys special.

$10 worth of fake carbon fiber.

Don't do it man - there's no turning back from the riceside!

And clean out all the crap from your shifter plate and boot!
