So, you've got extra OEM tail-lights? How about using them to make fun of your friend's Honda Civic that he thinks is faster than your ZHP.:innocent

That's funny. We all have a lot of those parts but in all seriousness, where do you take the old shocks and metal bits?
metal recyclers will pay you for them. aluminum is worth more than steel.Quote:

I miss my old yacht of a car :(Quote:

The inline 5 engine with its entirely unique sound and 7000 rpm redline, the goofy gauge cluster that was 2/3 the width of the interior, the weird ribbed seats. It definitely had numb steering at low speeds, but it tightened up at higher speeds. It also got me to the mountain regularly and was an absolute hoot in the snow.Quote:

I don't think I can recycle the shocks as there is oil in them right?
I sold mine on Craigslist even though they were shot and my ad said so, might give that a try.Quote:
