| What to Save from an XR headed to the Junkyard Posted to IMON on 6/29/99 By Richard Curtis Consider saving the following parts: --all switches (power windows, etc.) --rearview mirror --coolant recovering tank --windshield washer fluid reservoir --TFI, if recent and Motorcraft --Distributor --Valve cover, especially if late model --driver's seat if in good condition, especially if leather --exhaust system --lug nuts; maybe wheels; spare tire (Rich Franko is looking for one); jack --taillight assemblies, headlight assemblies, fog lights, side marker lights --cargo net --power antenna, if it works --gauge cluster, if it works --any working bulbs fromthe gauge cluster --clock --resistor pack --any salvageable a/c parts --hood --bumper, bumper covers --dash, if not cracked (yeah, right) --handle that operates the sunroof --door gaskets/weatherstripping, trunk gaskets --TPS, EGR valve, exhaust manifold if not cracked, air filter housing especially the piece that connects the housing to the fender well --the plastic inner fender linings/splash panels --cladding (I'd actually like a piece of that to practice painting on) --the spoiler --any salvageable glass, especially windshield --multi-function switch, valuable if the emergency flasher is intact --light switch --fans, relays, fuses, fuse box (especially if the fuse box cover is intact) --sensors --IAC valve --the turbo inlet hose --the thingie that connects the turbo to the throttle body<BR> --throttle body --VAM --alternator --power steering pump and lines --steering rack --differential Hardly any of these parts (and probably others) would be worth much to the crusher, but worth a lot to other IMONers. You'll be surprised at what you can sell. A lot of XRs are worth a LOT more in parts than in running condition. |
