Just the pipe leading down to the exhaust? I can take a look, I don't remember seeing it in there... The exhaust piping on the cars with their engines missing tends to be in the mud around the cars, or in the interior of those nearby. I'll try to find it though.

I just got back from the junkyard everybody.

Mike, no go on the EGR plug/wiring or the inlet tube. Sorry about that man, they cut everything electrical as close to the firewall as they could. The exhaust was completely gone as well.

Max,
They want $50 for the hood, it's white and in very good condition. The paint is crap, but there are no visible dents/dings on the top or bottom side, and we all know paint is no trouble for you! ;) I'm planning to take the sound dampening material off of that hood, so I've got an offer for you.
If you decide to buy the hood, I'll store it for a flat fee of... the sound dampening material. :P I've still got space in my attic, so it won't hurt me any to prop it up against a wall. I took some pictures of the hood from multiple angles, and can email them to you if you'll PM me your address.

I did want to mention, there IS another hood, but it was rattle can'd silver, so I can't really tell if it's dented or not. There are no major creases, but I can't verify more than that.

Dan, unfortunately I broke the little plastic tabs on the door panel lights for both sides. :( I rushed on the left side and didn't realize they were fragile, my gentler attempts on the passenger yielded better results, until one tab fell off of it's own accord. :( The good news, is that I was able to grab the window switch for you. It's physically undamaged, but which pins on the bottom of the unit do I test for conductivity? I'd like to make sure it works before I make you pay + wait for the snail mail.

I ended up finding a 3rd MX-3, a bone stock RS that was miserably beat to hell... :( Poor girl wasn't full of water like the other 2, but there were obvious signs of rats being the latest occupants. I was surprised with the sheer size of this junkyard, it's the largest I've seen to date. It's out in the boonies though, so 70% of the vehicles are trucks/suvs.

I managed to get my 94+ center console finally, now I'm just lower seatbelt mounts, carpet, and a headliner away from a perfect interior! Well, and a shifter surround for the '93.

I came home thrilled about the haul I made, enjoying the sunshine on my back, and to my great satisfaction I saw both of my struts had arrived from RockAuto. Not bad timing, not bad at all!

Now I'm off to work on the '93s coolant leak, since I'm waiting for parts for the '92.
