Default Venture To The Junk Yard.

ventured to the junk yard to find some interior parts for the SC no luck.. but i DID COME ACROSS SOMETHING WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD. i didnt take pics when it was at the junkyard but i did take pics when i installed it. i got this baby for $25 Cusco Strut Tower Bar.













and also got some 93 Tails, for temps... trading my Fleabay tails for 97's

No, what you see is an intake box with the front cut open.

Nice find. You could have least cleaned it and polished it up before you put it on... Must everything always be half-assed?
