Thought i should create this thread, just about posting cool finds whether it's at a parts yard, on the side of the road, or even for sale. I'll kick it off with this 850 T5 sedan at my local pick n pull.

went to pnp yesterday, the car is still mostly complete. T5 sedan, engine still intact, (no starter, no airbox) but had all body panels intact. cloth interior with power seats, upgraded trip computer missing, wheels gone (as most pick n pulls do, if you want wheels go to bucks) glovebox latch missing, radiator fan also missing. headlight wipers are there but passenger side is worn to all hell and drivers side is just missing a blade. other than that, everything is still there.

Last year I found an 04 V70r in our pick n pull, it was a manual, black exterior with alcantra (orange) interior. It had an engine fire, but rare car in that combo.
