Junk Yard Run - Anyone Need Anything?
#21
Went this morning and actually had a blast. That place is like a grown ups toy store...Rick has a little bit of everything there. JHartz, Blue_XJ8, King Charles and I did pretty well. Sadly Dave and grandell didnt anything on their lists but I'm not against going back in the future at all. I was there two hours and had an absolute blast checking everything he out - he's got Jags, Rolls, BMW's Land Rovers, etc etc. You could drop some cash in there no problem. Anyway, there will be another run in a few months so if I couldnt help you out this time (sorry!) get your lists together for the next one

Thanks again Mark ! I wish I could go out there myself. But it would be dangerous indeed. I could see myself coming back with Rolls parts just for my man cave ;-) I come out to Silicon Valley every 3 months and sometimes make a pit stop in "the valley" (thousand Oaks) on way back (I lived for 6 years in Thousand Oaks while working in L.A.) and I would probably be crazy enough to pay a visit to that junkyard during such time - where is it again?

"Fire in the hole indeed my friend,,,lol" I've found a way to just merely remove the backing & just use the leather padding & attach my current working cupholder & backing. Although judging from the innards of this donor cupholder I deduce that they are not very functional IE numerous spills lol.

Glad that worked out. I'm really, really sorry about knocking that piece off. I seriously had no idea how brittle it was and my heart was in the right place trying to clean it up for you. My wife had to calm me down it because I really was upset. I'm really glad it worked out

If you are still interested I may be able to get it to @ what I have in it which is 100$ I went into my realm of many projects/garage lol I found a high line leather/vinyl restore kit that had never been opened lol. The project car it was purchased for was the same color scheme as my Jag, so in the spirit of doing OCD things @ 3 am I will be using the kit. If it comes out acceptable you can get the arm rest. It's in very good shape I even opened it up & cleaned the innards. Only issue is with the cup holder it's lost a support that makes it collapse, was not a concern to me as mine is perfect.
