I haven't been to a wrecking yard in ages. I can think of parts I wouldn't mind having on hand.
Speaking of, I want to get an engine under cover. Darn you guys...this is going to make me spend $. (I want to be cheap hahahaha.)

My best craigslist find was the door check for driver door. Mine was broken. I found one down in oklahoma on a parting out post for $5. The guy shipped it to me for another 5. I always check craigslist for part outs.

If you get a door check from Lexus is nearly $100 or so.

That's a good bug to have. I found a perfect set of seats, front and back. The guy said "60 bucks" so I took them out and then realized I only had 50 on me. I ran to the bank and when I got back, (20 minutes) they were sold. That's when I got alot of "pocket parts" but I can't find an AFM anywhere.

I found a power steering pump at a junkyard for my 96 LS. Saved me a bundle. Bent pulley, but I took the one off of the old pump and installed it on the new one.

I've slowly been bringing my 1993 LS400 back from years of neglect with new and JY parts, here are some notable finds;
ECU that got my nonrunning purchase back on the road
K&N intake filter $1.00
Rebuilt power steering pump ~$40
Later engine cover
Couple of tools to complete my trunk toolset $FREE
Eibach springs

and the Pièce de résistance;
Eibach front and rear anti-sway bars
quite possibly the only known set still in existance, at least as far as the internet and clublexus are concerned

OMG steve2006! I want one like that. It looks new. I bet it doesn't even sag in the middle.

I also lost a couple of the screws that hold it on (probably when I had the oil changed by those 10 minute folks). I found that the thicker License Plate screws from Autozone work fine.
