You're allowed to buy cars out of the junkyard?! NOT FAIR!!!

Aside from that one rust spot, it doesn't look bad. Nice find.

Needs a hood though?

[DimaK]

why is it not fair?...........
im taking the hood from the mx3 beside it, its green though, ima have to paint it

[Savin]

Well its not fair because all the yards I've been to are like, " The shells are off limits, you can take anything from it, but not the whole car." The classic car junkyards are different though.
There was a fully operational 92 rs that pick-n-pull paid $150 for. It had a little front end damage. I offered $300, they said no. If its a "builder" they sell the whole car, if not then you're s**t outta luck.
I guess they figure they'll make more money letting people pull parts off the cars, even though I'm pretty much the only one taking parts off the mx-3's.

[DimaK]

no man, the reason wy they would sell it to you for 300 is because they can make mor money by scrapping it.metal is not cheap.plus they will make mad money off parts.it just depence who you talk to, i knwo the guy well enough

Check where the rear end joins the sub frame rails. It may be rotted out, if so you have a lot of welding to do.

even has half a tank of fuel...NIIICE

[DimaK]

the one beside it has full tank, so ima borrow some from that car

[colinsmx3]

umm I don't know what to say..... Why buy it out of a junkyard?? There are plenty of MX-3's on Kijiji and Autotrader in perfect condition for prices around $500-$3000!!! Sorry but it just seems that you can get a road worthy one for around the same price without the headache! The price on parts alone for that car to make road worthy will cost more in the long run.. I think anyway.

[2RotorsNaDream]

I gotta agree with what Colin said above, you can find a good shape MX-3 easily for $1500-$2000 and not have to deal with the hassle of restoring and finding parts all over the place. Then after all the time and effort to get it done, in the end it comes out to be more expensive than just waiting for a good deal for a nice one.

[DimaK]

guys im paing 450 for the car, plus whatever parts it needs are pretty much free

[TOOgreezy]

hey DimaK what junkyard is that?

[DimaK]

special one, lol
guy is doing me a favour, i dont think they r sepose to do that.
what, you needs parts?
