Great find, skloon! This is totally the way to go.
Agreed. I'm currently looking for a good parts car. All I really need is a headlight (reflector is broken off the adjuster, it bounces like crazy), but parting out cars is fun and can make you some good money.

And parting one out allows you to figure out how yours goes together plus have your own parts department
