    Looks like ol' 0177 just increased another .03% Seriously, I've been considering grabbing one or two to park behind the shop. I want one to butcher anyway.... get rid of the suspension and drive line, transplant a nice VQ and Nissan 6 speed (got a nice, wrecked G35) , graft in some kind of suspenders, X brace the frame, and create a reardrive, fun to drive on asphalt,machine. Yeah, it would be easier to just buy another car, but, I love the way it looks... it could just drive alot better I think.

    Agreed. We *ARE* a bunch of hungry hungry homers. So many needs... So few gimpy VX's to salvage from...

    What search engine tool do you use to find if a VX is in the inventory of a junk yard?

    I can barely find a Trooper around here.

    Wrecked VX

    Have a wrecked 99 that i'm thinking of parting out. It has 96k miles and was in perfect running condition prior to being in accident. I was trying to have repaired but every day the body shop calls saying that they needed this or that. [insurance declared it a total loss and I retained salvage] VX is damaged on the rt side, frt hood, grille and bumper assy. All running gear is good, frame is straight, interior is complete less rt door trim panel [dr seat has wear marks] interior is red/black. lt side is good. all glass is good. have lkg door and cladding for rt side. Shop says needs A-pillar. rt inner rocker panel, as well as rt fender and cladding, hood, grille, and frt bumper mnt brkts. I have new frt bumper cover. The rr bumper cover is damaged but was told that it can be repaired. Body shop was going to have fixed in 2 months including time to locate parts. Well we are on 4 months and vx is sitting in shop covered with dust and what ever and shop isn't doing any thing to repair, as they keep insisting that they can't repair til they get A-pillar and inner panels. I asked why they weren't noticed and I informed of the need for these parts when I left car at shop, they said something about hidden damage and walked away.

    Jim,

    I hate to be a vulture, but if you're going to part your VX out I have a few things that I would like to get. Let me/ us know when you decide and I'm sure that it'll be picked clean in no time.

    Talking

    So what are you saying ?...ya don't think we have a cannibal problem here in Fargo ?

    The cannibal problem around here is second only to the zombie problem...I see TONS of zombies every time I set foot in a Wal-Mart...their lifeless eyes staring wistfully at undergarments they'll NEVER be able to afford...

    I tell ya, ya just ain't lived until you've done a bunch of time in good ol' Fargo.
