    I guess they don't have LKQ out that way I'm East Coast so I don't know that much about out there and LKQ doesn't really care that much about the parts business as much as the metal business it seems like they let you just walk out of there for 50 $70 but there you go You should be able to get all that stuff for very inexpensive.

    Yeah I’m making a day of it tomorrow, thanks again, I was ready to give up when Fort Collins junkyards quoted me so much. I rented a storage unit so the city can stop ticketing it and I can take my time to work on it/learn… now the next feat will be towing one Prius with another Prius 2 miles using 2 creepers nailed together lol jk…or maybe not. I don’t see why that couldn’t work

    ust two
    just two miles . I can pull the hybrid battery out too. Can use a Honda element too. Is this insane? I see the towing capacity is zero the elements is only 1500

Got all my parts , minus bumper and fender, from a pick a part for 120$, thanks yall. You guys are awesome. I wonder if any other car model has such a badass community forum revolving around it? Definetly not Dodge.

    So this where I’m at.

    I tried to reuse the old cv axle but it was fubar n actually popped out the same way the one I got from the junkyard did (with the Y shaped cv joint exposed on one end). Is there a way to attach that back ? Or am I looking at buying a brand new cv axle ? B9B9D49A-A164-4018-A354-37DD5C123DE0.jpeg

    besides that, I’ve got a lot of unknown wires up by the headlight A15003C3-DAED-4152-8CD6-F77A498B1F28.jpeg C1BDDDF7-783E-446F-B115-A2C0449F2ACC.jpeg And I dk how the hell im going to get that stabilizer end link to go back in. Also, does this tire look knocked out of alignment too? (Some of that body damage was already there when I bought the car)

    Did all that but get an awful grinding sound. Also can’t fit the boot back to fill with grease , could that be the cause of my grinding in drive?
    How do I replace a cv that came apart F0C3CB05-C5A1-4BE3-A060-7334665CE05D.jpeg

    also I think I’m missing a power steering line and maybe a speed sensor 58627FE3-BB5C-4830-837E-410C2D1D2987.jpeg and what are all these wires to?
