A friend of mine is moving to the mainland and leaving me his 98ish 626 4banger with blown head gasket. Is there anything worth saving that works on a BG? Or even things that people always look for to replace in these cars? My plan is to pull whatever I can that's useful, and then sell the car to the scrappers.

Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes... -
toss a junkyard motor in it and sell it. -
If parting out, keep the radiator. It's shorter and wider than the BG ones. You can tuck it under the core support with some light fab work, and clear a pretty big turbo that way.Current:

Ace, I've thought about it, but a few things are stopping me.
1. I don't have the money to invest right now.
2. The car is not in very good shape even if the motor was running.
3. After all the time/money invested. If it doesn't sell, or I lose money on it, I'm screwed.
My best bet is to salvage what I can and scrap or donate it.
Cody, thanks for the tip. I'll add that to my list of things to pull.Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...Comment

Take some pics, and put a post up on Mazda626.net saying your parting out the car. No one ever parts them out, So im sure alot of members would want parts.

As long as it's a 98+, the rear sway bar is an upgrade for the Probe guys, as are the brakes. It may have one of several rear sway bars though. I personally need the main heater flapper box, but shipping would likely be more than it's worth.sigpic
