Made a run over to the JY and Rambling

Dad had a minor accident, Basicly the same thing that happened to carpimp. :mad:
But he was able to slam the brakes hard and swerve, it was pouring though... so he slid into the person.

The guy was a real jerk, he was bitching and moaning about a small dent and scuffs in the pain on his bumper.
Meanwhile my dad needs a new fender, headlights, turn signals, housings, trim, grille, etc etc... There bumper managed to hit just above his bumper and just below the hood on my dad's volvo.

But what really turn's my stomach is my dad said his grille was in tact off to the side off the road behind the persons vehicle, And the guy was like "i cant wait for the police anymore i need to go whine whine" dad's like fine whatever, and the idiot backs over the grille and drives off just as my dad was walking over to pick it up... wtf man, wtf...

Anyway... Got everything to fix his volvo up today 'cept for a fender.

The 2 Heritage 'Birds were still there, They are gonna be heading off to the crusher soon. :mad:
I grabbed the lighted door locks, Trim pieces, Uncracked dash, Locking fuel door setup, emblems, lighted visors, and some small stuffs.

They had a "Pimped Out" 92? MarkVII that just came in, Had peeling 13inch chrome wire rims, peeling purple tint, DUB floor mats a "system" but it was pulled, lol.
It was actually in really nice shape, the engine was in pieces already.
I snagged the after market fog lights.
It has a radiator front/side mount coolant tank, would this fit on a fox bird?

4 MN12's in munched condition.

an 87 base 3.8 in great condition (porno red interior, smelled like rotten meat, lol.), but not much of anything exciting, for me at least.

and got "part" of the HCV i needed.

How do you fit 13 inch rims over the brakes on a mk7?

Also could your dad tell the cops the guy did a hit and run on him?

rims were laying on the ground next to it there was only 3 (there tends to only ever be a "set" of 3 rims on every car that comes in here?), heh.
It was a real nice MK7, Dark Blue w/ Sunroof.

Dad was on the phone with police pretty much the whole time.
They were basically "Since no one is injured and it's not disturbing traffic, it's not a priority... we will send someone out when we can~Otherwise you can try and settle it yourselves"
