Man - you're lucky! My local junkie had 2 Minis - they sold them both days before I called. Good scores!

Yes they are either picked over with too many things destroyed by others or scraped before you know it!

Good find!
I was just thinking we should start a "Junkyard Find" thread!
I found a intercooler cover and a drain back plunger! Cost a whopping $12!

Yes I was very lucky! I got there before it was picked apart by the buzzards! I get so upset to see how others destroy so much by either not knowing how to dismantle them or not having the correct tools! The pricing was very fair and Im old school just loving to roam the yards!

That is annoying! When I had my 86 Jetta, I send a lot of time in the yard finding parts. Great resource!
I found the Poor mans R53 JWC calipers in NY at a yard.
