So today was a good day, hard working day , but a good day.
Today after class I went up to the bank in cross county to get some money, because I wanted to get a new tire installed on the 323. So a took out 40 beans.
Anyway I get to the local junkyards, no more than 2 minutes from my house, and I am looking around to see if anyone has any 1st gens.
So I go to one place and I ask the guy if he has any 1st gen protege's .. he says no but what do you need , I say- "shocks".
He says he has some and wants 40 bucks each or 120 for em all. So I am skeptical and I am like let me see them.. basically he is a bull**** artist and didn't have them..
So anyway I cruise around some more..
dadumdadum ..
what's this ... a 1st gen Black
haha the car was sitting on it's disks...
So I get out and ask the guy what's good with the protege and can I have anything on it..
I tell him I want the shocks and he says 30.. so I was like ok cool. I go home to change and on the way home I get to thinking. I should just take all 4. They would be 120 and to hell with it .I can just put the money back in my account.
I go get the money .. get all my tools .. and change my cloths into workAwear.
I go down there tell him I want all 4 shocks .. he says 100 bucks .. I slip him 5 20's and I am off and pulling this bitch apart.
I get all 4 shocks off with the car sitting on the rotors.in 1.5 hours. haha..
I snatch the starter relay and the fuses.
I then take a look inside and OH **** .. A TACH .. oh hell no , I gotta have it ..
So I rip the frigin dash apart.. to hell with taking my time lol .. and get that gauge cluster...
Take another look ,, what's this the drivers side door handle that I need ... NA YO it's mine.. 20 bucks for the both of them ...
this protege also had the adjustable stearing column , which I wanted to take but had no more $$ and I wanted to take the whole center console. I could have gotten that for another 20 Bucks ..
damit why can't I have a endless budget
well I had to take 80 bucks out my savings account .. so I am paying myself back
so basically I got
4 struts( with springs and mount and bolts) = 100 bucks
gauge cluster(w/tach) + door handle = 20 bucks
All this will be installed in the 323
