climbing out of windows eh!  It never fails to make me grin and think of Bo & Luke, the good ole boys from the TV of my youth...heh, I'm getting a respray...perhaps I should add a Confederate flag on the bonnet.... ;)

( it's always reassuring that you can get out of the window, assisted by the adrenaline rush )

Alright guys I spent about 2 hours at the wreckers tearing up old mini vans. I got most of the parts I need for the crazy idea


Interesting idea! As a thought, why not make both doors into 1 and have the whole thing slide backwards?

Then you could use those newer Carvan type door openers. (Push a button & have the door(s) slide open.)

Well I went back for another rail at the wreckers and caught a whole lot of shit for jumping the fence. Yesterday, they were like: Yeah man, go on in and grab what you need. The fence wasn't open yesterday, so I had to jump it then!

So anyway, I grabbed a ton of cool stuff out of this 'newer' wreck and am walking back to my zuke with my little brother in tow and here the yard super pulls up and starts shouting at me. First I get him to calm down and then he tells me that all the stuff is going to cost me about 20 bucks. I say, that's fine, I'll leave it here (the rail, some speakers, an upper console and some other hinges) and come back tommorow. He gives me this speech, saying I'm brain dead and blah blah blah, and finally I'm like whatever, I don't need this stuff and my little (well, he's younger than me, but a big boy) brother starts telling the guy to f-off. Then I got the guy all shouting again I I just peel out of there, telling him I won't be back. What a nerve wracking experience! I was about to clobber the guy with my crow bar!! Even as I'm typing this I'm starting to shake.

So anyway, my project is put on hold for a while, until I can either make ammends down at the yard or find an alternative way to get the rail I need. I have all the things to attach the stuff to my doors, but without the other rail, I'm screwed.

What an ass that guy was, really puts a downer on a persons day!

The alternative way would be all black clothing with a black ski mask under the cover of night ;D

But seriously, that sucks. No other scrapyards up there where you're at in Canuckistan?

No dice there, he picked up all that I pulled out and put it in his truck. I considered going back and torching the whole place down :o, you should have heard the profanity and insults that he threw at me and my brother. I feel better today, I'm cooled off a bit, but yeah, it's the only scrap yard right in town. The other yards in town are run by the used parts guys, so I can't actually go up to a vehicle and say, thats nice, I'll take that. I had a great setup at this place, but this is the first run in (the first time I've seen this guy there) with them where they gave me hell for being there. I told him the deal I had with another guy (who I assumed was in charge by what he said to me), but he wouldn't calm down enough to listen to me... whatever... assumption is the mother of all screwups I guess.

He's the superintendant, does he own the place? If not just go to the owner.

He's the super(ass). Yeah, I asked who the owner was, and he just swore at me. I heard their office is across town, so I'm heading over there soon to work something out.

I must be missing something. Do they have socialized used auto-parts in Canadia? From the sounds, here in the states the bill would be $100-200US... not $20C.

BTW, if you visit the states, don't jump a locked fence into a yard. They'll turn the dogs loose on you, if the yard isn't occupied... or just shoot if it is. What's left, they'll drag to the gate for the Police to take away.

Never really understood the lambo doors.  They look alright but for me, the gullwing (think early James Bond and/or DeLorean) doors were kick-ass.  Plus if you got to speed and popped the doors, you could probably take off!! ;D

I don't see how this:



Would have helped me out of this situation:

I had to go out through the passenger side.
