Parting out a '95 850 GLT wagon

Post by vjaneczko »

So I'm pretty much done with my parts car to repair Big Red and thought I'd offer up the leftover bits to anyone with an interest.

I've pulled parts from the passenger front corner, front bumper & headlight frame, and the N/A engine has been taken apart for the cams. The heating elements from the front seats are removed and the front seat skins are not in great shape. The front rotors are a bit rusty from sitting for a few months but they're quite smooth and probably have less than 1K miles on them (the PO had them done before I picked it up).

The village inspector rang me up and told me that a car it this condition needs to be moved in 24 hours, but since no neighbors have made a call, and I'm on a work project that has me out of town during the week, he has given me a little wiggle room.

I've removed almost every screw or bolt from the inside and the engine bay
The bun warmers pads have been removed.
Three of the four firewall dash tabs were busted.
The lower dash has the wood veneer.
The drivers foot well was damp from antifreeze, but I'm not sure if it's the hoses or the heater coil - but I will soon.

To everyone who's sent me a PM; due to the flooding in the Chicago area, I had a hell of a time getting back home and it really screwed with my weekend plans. I'll be getting back to you asap.
