Ya, will be nice to have my trucks back home.

We might just forgo the wheeling and spend the moola at Harry's U-Pull-It. Man, $85 goes far there. Dana 44's for $25 each? Kick axles for $25? 1.6L motors for $69? Kick P/S pump for $8? Gonna try to find some GTi seats since they only cost like $10 each.

Yeah, maybe just spend the day pulling parts.

Hey weasel, do you need a 16v I know of a few here in the baltimore area. There prices are not to bad. I can get one for $450.00 and another one for 650 and the miles are 84,000 for about the both of them, and I belive they are all pre 96. If interested let me know.

Here is the price list of what i bought and what you can expect to pay.

Tracker axle (any 5 lug axle) was 36$ plus a 5$ core charge. They charge by lug pattern, joe's toyota axle was supposed to be more, but the guy just flat rated us the three axles at one price. I got two trackers and he got the v6 toyota one. I wanted to ask you Tim, we checked another axle there out of a tracker and i swear that it was a 2.7 something or other, i couldnt figure out how it was going so fast and still out of a tracker??

The seats are 13$ a peice for non power ones, more for power ones, i dont know about leather, or even if thats an issue.

I just picked up two toyota automatic transmissions for 20$ a peice (THAT ROCKS!!!!!) because that was the weekly special. I also got the torque converters and the output shaft to mate up. The output shaft was 16$ with a 2$ core charge.

They had no tracker engines in there, if they did they would be 70$ plus a 15 dollar core charge, maybe the core charge was 10, but you get the picture. Its by cylinder, not make or model.

That place rocks, but you really have to be prepared to search alot. No gti seats in good shape, i looked the whole yard over, some nice crx seats, eagle talon seats, nissan 240 seats and a nissan mx-3 had sweet seats that i was going to get, but heidi wants leather so we nixed them, and i dont blame her. (what was i thinking with cloth, oh well already installed.)

Im definately going back when i head down to paragon again, id like to go run again in august after my build up.

Hope that answers questions. If there had been ANY 8 valves or 16 valves i would have bought ALL OF THEM for those prices, but to no avail none where there when i was there. Im actually happy to go all toyota, im just worried about the weight up front....

Hey Max just wanted to thank you again for fixing that belt for me before I left Saturday! It was nice drving home and not having to put up with that ear piercing squeal for 45 min. I wish I could have stayed overnite. You'll have to come to Shamokin with Jeff when we get the guys together this summer for a ride. Same trails as paragon except they are free! (and we have just a little bit more garbage on the side of the roads then what paragon has :)

Tim, I did see one motor in an esteem, but didnt think to adapt one into the sammi....Did you really see three?

Matt, No problem on the belt. That kind of thing drives me nuts, when its so easy to fix. Did three of them that day alone.

Randy, my build up consists of auto yota tranny toyo engine, axles and sammi transfercase. Im tired of breaking. Suspension? Well it might be coils if i can figure out the proper hookup to the axles. I have most of the parts ordered already, just have to get tubing. How is your build up going? I hear you have tons of new toys to show off...
