Scoped out all my local Pick n Pull's again and discovered that the only one that had an Aurora just happened to get another Aurora in...this time a 1998. I called the place and all they would tell me is that the exterior was green which meant the interior could be black, neutral, or green...it was neutral ;D.
Gutted it pretty good, and for 246k miles everything was in great shape overall.
I started with the center console, mine has broken vents and a broken vent wheel so I took those pieces. I also had little hooks screwed into the sides of the larger portion so i took that too. I also took the faceplate off the DIC, the dash vents, and a door sill trim piece. The remainder of the console was beat up per usual so i left it behind.
I then pulled out the dirty but otherwise perfect seats, they have no tears and all the stitching is intact. Unfortunately the car had no battery and the seats were all the way back...which meant the bolts were hidden. Soooooo....I actually pulled out my battery and carried it all the way to the back of the lot just to move the seats a foot forward. Haha.
The real treasures though were the factory "A" floormats, and 3 "A" center caps.
All in all i spent 4 hours doing everything, which included one trip back home to get the bit that fit the seat bolts, as well as all the walking back and forth with my tools and battery.
Recipt is below, seats will be $117.96 plus tax. Got some freebies and cash back...lol.
