Picking up parts for a 3000gt project in da Olds,

No Problem...


Today was the last day of LKQ's 50% sales on all inventory. My brother needed some parts for his 3000 GT and I volunteered to go! I was ultimately hoping that I might find some Aurora's in there and there were two neither of which had anything that I needed.

Well, I thought it even less likely that they would even have a 3000GT with parts that my brother needed. They actually had one, and we got the rear bumber, tail lights, ash tray and windshield fluid reservoir. I ended up buying the driver window because they are selling for $75-100 on ebay and I paid $12...

I figured that I shouldn't walk away empty handed... lol

Well here is a picture of car loaded.

Hi,
I'm new to this site...and a very happy Aurora owner. Heading overseas toward the end of January, and am reluctant seller.
Great car, fantastic condition...can you give some hints to me for selling this beauty? On this site...or somewhere else???

Roger.......Go to the board ACNA Marketplace , put some pics on there of the car, interior & exterior, with all the info, details & price of the car.

Sweet! Nice and cheap! Parts cars are the best. I got my car from a one owner too, you'll be glad you did.

That's awesome. Love the pic too. When I first saw that I thought, "Lambo windows?!"

Screw picking up parts... I picked up an entire car last weekend and didn't waste anytime with it.

While we were supposed to be mulching one of our new contracts the opportunity arose to buy this 3000GT. We added much delay to our work that day and after stowing the car in the trailer all day we finally left the commercial/well lit place at 1:30am... :lol:

I think it will be worth it though!


Got this car for $500...



After about 2 hours of wrenching on this car, here is the engine block...





Both set of heads look like this...



We slipped some used valves in place of the bent valves and the heads came back tested with good compression. No damage to the heads. Waiting on parts to replace everything and possibly buying some heads off of another car in the junk yard...

Hey, I'm having fun tinkering and might even make a few bucks once it is running agian.
