...After getting hit by a drunk driver. I was going through old pictures and found these tonight. They were taken back in 2000 when I lived in Federal Way, WA.
In the first picture the car was still drivable. Then I stripped it and sent it to the junk yard. All the parts that I took off are on my 87 sport. There were still a few good parts on the car when I sent it off. It had a complete running 2.3 turbo and good T5 in it but not much else. I picked her pretty clean. The only reason I left the engine and transmission in the car is because the junk yard wouldn't pick it up with out them.
I had to fight with the drunk drivers insurance company but I finally got $2000 plus I kept the car. Persistence paid off!
Cool huh...

That's "Picked clean"? It looks like the only thing you took off was the wheels.
THIS is picked clean :hick: :
Hahah... Look closer at the front and rear suspension. The interior was completely stripped except the carpet, door panels and plastic trim. The only thing I wish I would've kept is all the glass and the right tail light assy. The only good body panels were the left front fender, rear bumper cover and trunk lid. Hell, I even removed every interior screw... They have come in handy over the years.
I only kept what I figured I would use. I left the rest for whoever might come across it in the yard.
BTW, there was not a spec of rust anywhere on that car!
