    It’s sounds cheesy but when I don’t find anything at all I at least fill my pockets with fuses and relays just to get something for the entrance fee. You’ll have a life time of fuses. LoL

    • @ShopLifeTV

      That's a good idea! I have a bunch of relays and fuses from cars that I used to part out, once I start running low I may just do that lol

      @@ShopLifeTV Also another great YouPull it Junk yard tip is also look in the closed trunks of the POS cars that nobody cares about. People remove parts (like rare lights) and hide them in lesser valued POS cars cause they either don’t have the money for them that day or click a pic of the item and post them for sale online and if they sell they come back for them from there secret hidden places (hidden in a POS car trunks). Just sayin check and think outside the box. I got lucky 3x’s with the hidden trunk treasures. 👍👍

      @Leonardo Santuario Wait how is it theft if fuses aren’t even on any junkyards price sheet at all? 🤷🏻‍♂️ That’s like saying you’re a thief for taking napkins, ketchup and straws from Mc Donald’s after you payed them for something.

    You saying it's messy made me laugh. You should have went through old school yards back in 70's and 80's, God I miss back when you never knew what you were going to find. Bought my first car out of a yard a year before I got my license, imagine 13 year old riding up on a stingray bike and cutting your first deal. Can't beat it, you kids don't have a clue what you missed and how it used to be. Didn't order it online you dug for best parts you could adapt and use and then rebuilt or modified to best of your ability.😁

I said I will take the cash. I removed the bed and straightened the frame my self and used the cash to buy 2 x10 s and some 14 gauge sheet metal. I made a new bed. I drove for it 4 more years. It got morning sickness and I gave it to a storage yard to use to just move things around. I did not have the time to pull the trans and rebuild it. If it was a stick I would have kept it.

    I'm glad you noticed that 635csi and the e28. Both are super awesome cars. Those seat covers on the shark nose are sheepskin and they are a very common thing for classic BMW's. It's a very common thing for classic Bimmer owners to do to their leather seats. But yeah, that 635csi and e28 were superb, and the Datsun 1600 was an amazing find on top of that. I have to love all because I have a Datsun 280zx and a 1989 BMW 325i Cabrio. Gotta love classic cars.
    Edit: I am commenting again after watching the part where you found the e30, nice!!! The 325i still has many valuable parts on it, you just need to know what to look for. If it was a convertible a lot of the parts would be worth much more because they made less

    I love the floppy hat. Even better than Indiana Jones, it's Indiana Jason! Raiders of the Lost Parts! LOL.
    Btw the white 2000 E38 740iL IS a facelift car. 1999 through 2001 E38s are LCI facelift cars.

      Hahaha thanks Brian. And yes you are correct about the facelift. I had it confused with the 2001 "cosmetic upgrades" with the color matched sideskirts/trim

      @@ShopLifeTV i own an E32. I like the E32s and the E38s. Styling and mechanical complexity of E65/E66 fell out of favor with me. Ditto for the E34/E39s when the E60s came out. I like the E30s and E46s. Wasn't keen on the E9xs when the E92/E93 got the prettier looks than the E90 sedan and E91 wagon. I think the last year of the E38s got the clear lenses and body colored side moldings.

    Recently I've found some x3 heated seats from the boneyard, I've installed them in my non heated seat bmw x3. What do I need from the boneyard car to make those seats fully functional (heated) in my x3? Do I need pull all for the full wiring harness? The cars are of the same year 06.

    I went to my local yard which is pretty big to buy a front fender for a Chevy pick up!! The GM section is pretty large and I had hoped to find a decent front fender, BUT you have to know I live in New York State, so many of them are rusted beyond repair!!! The fenders around here that are not rusted are usually dented pretty badly too.......so I got to the GM section and walked around finding trucks like those I needed the fender from! Of course many were too rusted, or damaged, and I found one that was actually in decent shape, but hoped to find a better one!! So I skipped past the only fender I had found that was decent to search for maybe a better one!! About an hour of walking around further I decided there wasn't going to be a better fender and returned to the truck I had seen earlier with the only "good fender" I had seen all day!!
    BUT as I walked back to the truck to get THAT fender, I saw a kid working on a car next to the truck! And just as I got to the row it was in I could hear him yelling and acting like an idiot!!
    What happened next though broke my heart, as for what ever the reason the moron threw a ratchet at the windshield of the car he was working on, THEN spun around and kicked the ONLY FENDER I had found caving the whole thing in!! I had spent nearly two hours looking for a single decent fender, only to watch it get destroyed by a moron who had a temper tantrum!!!
    My point is this.....the part you might need might be wasted if you remember idiots are allowed to pull parts too!! And if you find a decent part you might want to pull it off and drag it around with you while looking for perhaps better parts!!
    Also there is no such thing as a "wasted trip" to the You Pull It Yard!! At least grab things you might be able to use later like a few spare nuts, washer and bolts or fuses or relays!! If you can even grab a few light bulbs as well, for interior lighting!! I don't know how many times I yanked a few dome light bulbs and needed one when I didn't expect it!! Older cars have small marker light bulbs as well that can also be found in dashboards of many cars, and it is always great to have a bunch on hand!! Another thing to grab at times are pigtails.....I was working on a 1999 F150 tail light problem and realized that the pigtail I had was the problem!! I had grabbed a spare pair of pigtails and ended up having to rebuild one working pigtail out of the two spares and the original part I had which saved me a ton of time too!!

    Usually you can bring in a cordless drill or impact. All you need to do is make an adapter to connect the battery to the car. I hear people cranking engines over that way, which is wild, certainly you could test electronics that way. Maybe you have to hotwire the car if the key is gone.

    I know you're a beamer guy, but I always check the VWs for diesels when I visit the junker. Whole decently running 1.9 ALHs fetch hefty sums now. The pumps are minimum $150 is rough looking but working condition. Old working USDM mk1/mk2 diesel clusters are worth a fortune. Yards usually know what they got when they receive a TDI or diesel, but you get lucky fairly often.
    The junk yard is my zen garden. I like looking up all sorts of cars and just pulling stuff I think I can profit off reselling. Sometimes you don't make out, but you always become 'that' guy your car scene goes to for word parts. If you ain't got it, you know a yard that does.

    There were some classic cars there that may have had some parts. The car that had the flathead 6 that was missing the head is an early '50's Plymouth. A lot of those cars are having windshields reproduced, but not the rear glass. Take a look for tail lights, gauge clusters, turn signals. There was also an early '60's Chrysler. I wasn't able to see much, but it looked fairly picked over. If any of the Corvairs had a 4 speed trans, those can be good. The engines can be good for sand buggies.

      That old Plymouth was a 53. The F250 was a 56 Ford. The door leaning against the back is worth a minimum of $100 at a swap meet.
