I saved a 850R survivor that I've had for two weeks now. Been prowling local yards looking for interior trim parts in black( hard to find) and just got all my tune up parts and this weekend I'm going to work on it. The car is mechanicaly solid but needs cosmetic work. Having a hard time posting pictures.

If there are yards in your area that keep older stuff in stock, that's useful info here as well. Abscate has a thread for parts you shouldn't leave behind while on prowl.
