Due to "flooding"... the roads to the u-pull it on 110th and Foster are closed... which sucks... cuz thats the bone yard that i was going to get my head light conversion at.... which means not only does that mean that there's alot of dangerous chemicals and whatnot floating in a huge lake of rainwater, car chemicals, and raw sewage... but i can't get my headlight swap till it "dry's" up. lol

i guess mother nature is finaly getting back at us for abusing her?

 

That's the price you pay for living in paradise. I'd switch dry Southern California with wet Oregon any day Better fishing, fewer people, less traffic, rain, ... what else do you want? Quit complaining my friend

 

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE... hehehehe. i don't like rain... more specificaly, i hate the humidity that comes with rain, and the constant wetness that makes it hard to work on out door projects... oh well. out of personal preference, i prefer snow, ice, wind, and sun over rain any day...

 

a copper spanking

love it


Aeros are made for the rain otherwise Billy Ford would not have put all those huge windows on them to leak

 

yeah tell me about it... i'm trying to get my drivers side passenger window to stop dripping, and my windsheild gets my headliner and floor wet.... i put some silicone sealent on... but it was raining... so i doin't know how dry it will get and how well it will seal...

 

None of my Aeros have leaked water to the inside; all have had mold problems though, and the '89 had the press-cardboard rear interiour panels warp and the vinyl delaminate, esp above the large rear side windows.

I used to live at 88th & Foster, I used to walk to the U-Pull-It on 111th! That chain has really gone downhill in the past ten years: no master listing of all yards' inventory in the lobby anymore.

You could drive out to the Tigard (Sherwood) yard, which since the remodel isn't always underwater in winter anymore. It used to be a decent yard. And the one in Damascus/Boring was a very good yard and gets less foot traffic, better graded, etc.

I-5 is completely closed between you & me now, and will be for a couple more days! The official detour is eastern Washington (ie about 450 miles of detour).

When I-5/Centralia flooded in '96 and I had to detour, I used Hwy 12 and it was an extra three hours [shrug].

Good thing I don't have to get to Portland this week.

 

Yea I like the one out in Damascus/Boring better than the the U-pull-it on Foster. alot less people go out there. And it is on my way home to Central Oregon, when I'm over visting my Son there in Portland. It is Way to wet for me over there in the Valley, I like the snow and the cold better.

 

http://car-part.com/index.htm

here's a link to search and see if your yards have a part you need
all the local N Ore and SW Wa. yards use this listing site

 

While car-part.com looks nice, and is usually useful, the database is notoriously out-of-date. One of my users called something like nine JYs to find a part each listed as available for sale: none actually had the part.

(car-part.com doesn't list the wheel covers for Aeros with factory alloy wheels, drat)

Additionally, car-part does not seem to cover U-Pull-It type yards, because most do not keep track of their inventory, and U-Pull-It yards are invariably the cheapest if you have the time.

 

lol yeah i saw that on the news last night... my dad drives masonry products between seattle and portland (in his 94 awd xlt extended aero, no less!) and was majorly bumbed about I5 being flooded... lol

yeah that's deff. true, i remember how soar my feet were from the rocks and what not when i went there last... i called them a week ago and said the had about 5 92 and newer aero's... the last time i was there, their yard was practicaly empty!!! i'll have to check things out up there again, i hope foster dries up, mainly cuz i actualy found with my own eyes the doner for my head light swap... other wise, i hate jumping over rainbow puddles

 

You want a '91 and older rig for a HL donor, don't you?

 

take along a piece 4'x4' of 1/4" plywood
saves laying in the mud and the dog poo from the guard dogs

used to have a yard here that used guard geese, real mess and couldn't get it off the shoes

 

yeah. i'd like to be able to just go to it and pull the lights off tho, i don't have any room at my house or the money to buy a second car...
