Default Junkyard Find - S. California

I found a wrecked ti today at the junkyard. Anything I should be getting, given I don't have a complete car of my own yet....?

Nice! I wish I could find a ti at my local pick-your-own-part yard. Only rarely do I see E36s, and when I do they are usually trashed 1992 or 1993 models.

I'd grab those wheels for one, assuming the other side looks good. Also that interior is nice - sport pagacke stuff (except the pax seat?), but salvage yard seats are usually nasty. Look for an X-Brace.

I'm having trouble finding the X-brace. Is it in this picture somewhere? The driver's seat is rotten.

The x-brace bolts directly under the engine. It's standard on Z3 and E36 convertibles but is also a great upgrade for all other E36s. Sometimes you'll find them as upgrades people did.

Looks like this:

Otherwise you'll just see a single, lateral bar in its place.

Where is this car located? I need to run down to LA for business soon, and I might just stop by with my tools...

Grab that custom lap AC.

Looks like it is a sport package. Grab any of the door cards that are still good as well as the seats.

Sway bars will be an upgrade for non-sport models as well.

Check and see if the diff is a limited slip.

Sorry for not mentioning the location. It's at "U-Pick-U-Save" in Pomona CA. This is a DREADFUL junkyard managed by idiots. They mark various parts on cars with various color paint pens and symbols like *2 and <triangle>3 to indicate primo-pricing. I really wonder what that paint pen does to the plastic parts... Also they seem to think that a standard generic sealed beam headlamp is a premium part. Price for a taillight assembly is $30ish. This is a BAD junkyard. But it also has few customers so the car is probably un-picked.
