Z's on BAT and other places collection

I'd check it out if I was still down there.  Struts, brake drums, hubs, maybe even a diff and half shafts, who knows.  It's a neat yard, next to a wildlife refuge.  I saw a bald eagle chasing a duck one day.  Pretty sure the duck made it to water and survived but that eagle was right on its tail.

I might just make the trip. I'm sure there are a lot of small trim pieces too. Portland has some car vultures though, these get picked over quick. 

I've been to that yard before. It is rather big. The worst part about it is huffing the parts back up the hill to the office. They got flooded out one year, I went all the way down and was turned away.

I remember walking through the yard when only half of the cars could be reached if you wanted to stay dry.  But the flooded rows were still open.  I don't know how they get away with it with the environmental issues, some of the cars end up under water.  Maybe it's the old dilution-solution principle.

Good luck.  I think that they post on their location page if they're closed.

The Sherwood car is on wheels.  How could that be?!  Has to have struts under there...  Pretty sure PnP would just drag a strutless car to their yard if they had to.

Those red springs might be Tokicos.  NLA.

Are those sprocket looking things spacers?

PNP takes a pic of the car when they get it. Then they process it removing the wheels, oils and fuel, and place it in the yard on their stands. 

The wheels all go into the shop and are sold in sets for too much money. The car will be wheelless in the yard. You only find a few stock steelies and spares in the cars. 

Therefor someone who found this car would of course buy the struts and instantly post to FB for a tidy profit.

Good point. From a guy who probably does the same.  😀  I forgot about the removed wheels part, haven't been in a yard for a while.

You're right, people do move that fast, wouldn't be a surprise.

I met some Datsun guys at the Tumwater PNP, they bought a 720 5sp transmission and it was on FB later that night for 7 times what they bought it for.

He lost his 10mm socket too. 😂
