    This popped up in my inbox the other day and I'll be swinging by the yard this weekend to have a look. LMK if there's anything of interest you want me to examine.

    Parts I'm interested in include the wiper transmission if the bushings and linkages are tight. Fuse box cover as well as the wheel center caps too if they're still there and come cleanly. Wiper washer button and driver's headlight too. All else is fair game - though I'm not yanking any giant honkin' stuff. :)

    Another fuse cover?

    What's the interior color? If it's Light Prairie Tan, the headrests are a direct match, and they are much nicer (taller, wider, and tilting).

    Wiper arms seem to be popular.

    Nothing for me personally. Just saying.
     
    All I know is it's a 97 and is black on the outside... guess I'll find out more tomorrow. It's clearly sun beat. It's hard to tell if the fender is banged up too.

    Apparently the fuse cover is different gen1-gen2. Who knew...
     
    I’ll take the J hook wiper arms since you’ll conveniently be pulling everything they’re attached to! If the intake tube is still present I’d like that too as a backup to mine if it’s not trashed.

    Barter you that ABS unit I’ve been using as a door stop for them 😉
     
    Wiper arms if they J-Hook style.....but all the FN10s are, right?

    How much for them if you pull them off?

    Too late to the punch, for not hitting "refresh" between tabs, lol
     
    Did that junkyard just open or something? There is supposed to be three transmissions and a rearend on the ground in between each car and a door somebody pulled off of a minivan so they didn't have to lay in the dirt on the ground in front of the car. Confused.
     
    The car was sideswiped along the driver's side and it was all banged up fender to quarter. Interior was tan and wasn't in great shape.

    I got Matt's air tube and a replacement washer fluid button, but the wiper arms were gone and the transmission was as/more worn out than mine.
     
    At any rate, I think it's safe to say I won't be heading back to that yard to pick anything else off that car. I just so happened to be driving past the yard on my way to a jobsite today so it was easy for me to swing by, but in the foreseeable future I won't be headed that way... Since I'm not likely to go back, I'll close up the thread. :)
