Finding Project Cars in a Junkyard

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks for stopping by today 🙌 More Junkyard finds: kzbin.info/aero/PLvRjLBi1aX6c-ByRSvYBqYWaxUZd7R0Ld

You're funny dude

[@badaboom8520]

It is hard to see all those cars just rotting away cas of one reason or another, always a good thing to keep in mind, although a little sad, "The junk adventures" could name the series after that if you haven't already, good luck with the build Mike

[@PrizzaMike]

I agree man, always sad to see potential thrown away :/

[@izack0128]

Those cars once has a good owner taking care of them and one day it just landed on this landfill kinda makes me wanted to rescue all of them but we know we can't save alot of them though. It just sad too see those cars just rotten...

[@TwoDollarGararge]

They were used abused and thrown out as all cheap cars are especially sports cars and if you've ever purchased a project car you very well know the hardest part of it is fixing the mess the last guy made

[@craigmiller7063]

I can't wait I'm totally excited. Junk yards are usually a $2 classroom. I was told when I was young that a junkyard is a place to learn. It's kinda crazy to see other states that have tons of rust when cars here in Oregon get scrapped because they are unwanted projects.

[@whosjozikolnik]

the junkyard videos are always fun but I just wanted to say that it's great to see Franzy pop up in the vlogs again:) happy for you two!

[@jessesmith6890]

As someone who currently works on trash trucks I love hearing your shock about how big parts on large trucks are. Probably coolest yard yet.

[@PrizzaMike]

I agree! This yard was awesome! Just wait for part 2 tho!

[@Rei-Plush-Enjoyer]

​@PrizzaMike can you give the name of the yard on the next video, I'd love to go to this one, seems pretty cool!

[@shorty______]

I understand dude. The fact that there's no music in your videos it's a whole different mood. Keep this shit up!!!

[@labowskidude]

Your channel is really kicking off and I think its your attitude and chill style. I like that your not out trying to tear up the junkyard but if your ever looking for parts to sell the 1st gen D21 and WD21 parts are getting way expensive. Yes you should put that VG into your work truck

[@pants2103]

The two door Nissan Sentra looked just like my first car. Those were actually pretty good the ser trim came with sr20 good car definitely brought back some memories seeing one

[@twitchtvtux2120]

1962 to 1952 with the truck and love to see you uploading and bringing us blessed content keep up the good work man wish for the best

What a way to start the morning! Mike posting a video with z31's in the thumbnail!

[@rew3809]

Always a great start to the day when mike posts first thing in the morning

[@fewspade819]

As a second gen probe owner I can kinda see the resemblance of the 240 in it, especially with the wrap around rear windows. Personally I think it’s a good car by itself, fwd sucks but that puts it in the same class as the Integra and the prelude. Fun underrated car that is still really cheep to buy to this day.

[@vincentlevesque30]

We are just gonna ignore the fact that the GS has bullet holes on the side?? 😂

In the mid 1990s my brother in law was about 19 and had an excel he bought new. I was about 14-15 and drove many place and many times in that excel. It ran like a dream and was getting around 40+ mpg to the gallon.

[@jdmking4776]

I wish this video just continued on forever. It kept getting more and more interesting. Definitely made my day better ✌️

[@AndyKPOV]

Quick lesson... The E36 that was black was a 318 you don't want it. It's 4 cyl. And it's easier to actually find the 6 cyl... The Mitsubishi diamante is actually a cool little family race car. They had a turbo version and they actually have decent HP stock n/a. Also you missed 3 2j's 😅 also the 4 motion vws typically came big brake.

[@jaygood87]

Love the junk yard videos.. can't wait to see the rear quarter go on the 240.. Will be paint video before you know it👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@tylerpresley9347]

I used to go to that junk yard with my dad before I moved a few county’s over. It’s crazy to see how much it hasn’t changed in 10 years lmao definitely next time your in Murfreesboro or Tennessee It’d be cool to meet you!

[@seankasion4648]

What's the name of the yard?

[@bad74maverick1]

@10:00 Yep had one. 1991 same year as your looking at. Black manual 4 banger 2 door with tan interior. Ignition wire burned in two. Mechanic looked it over thought it was a faulty wire and replaced it. 3 days later car burned to the ground. Got so hot the there was a small pool of aluminum underneath it when they towed it away. The white crown vic @11:24, that's typically caused by sap. it's been sitting in a wooded area and sap has collected on it, and dried with dirt.

[@jayinmi3706]

There are usually no less than like 10 Mustangs at one of the yards I go to up here in Michigan. Early Ford Probes were on the same platform as the Mazda MX-6.

[@TheRussian3]

I miss my Z! Had one in highschool, but it became a never ending money pit and regrettably I sold it. Years later now that I have a good career, I want another.

[@maximus1720]

YOOOO those T1 volkswagen Touaregs are absolute beasts, especially with the V8. They have a phenomenal 4wd and abs system, Ive off roaded the heck out of mine!!

[@PrizzaMike]

I never knew they came with so many goodies! Haha

[@WrenFJ]

Thank you for the video, I'm still loving the junkyard adventures! So sad to see the Z31 though, that's my dream car 😭

[@TwoDollarGararge]

A non runner especially an auto is cheap af there is three within 20 minutes of me they all look like given the amount of grime on them sitting for at least 20 years

[@Itsonlytwobolts]

The diamanté was built just down the road from me here in Adelaide australia they are called a Magna here :) thanks for sharing all the cars with us :)

[@Keith-h6n]

There are definitely some cars i seen that take me back to when I was little with my older brothers. They had a red hyundai excel hatchback stick shift beater car and we used to do reverse donuts in it, cuz they're front wheel drive lol.

[@Toofargonetosave]

These cars need to be preserved they don't make these anymore. That's just history left to rot away. I hope no Chryslers were there. They deserve to be repaired and treated with love.

[@gundamchris1233]

The chrome rx8 wheels are pretty rare and valuable I’d recommend picking them up

Black Porshe convertible was awesome! You walked past a white Geo Metro convertible. I wanted one badly in the 1990s.

[@wr1ght939]

8:39 I’m perfectly fine with that! You’ve inspired me to go junkyard hunting!

[@5.9manualzj]

Dangit, now I wanna go to the junkyard again. I'm so excited for the classic section!!

[@RayquazaKing04]

As a mustang guy myself, its hard to see all those mustangs there, primairally the SN95s (1994-1998 is old, 1999-2004 is new edge). I'd love to have i believe's #21's mag rims, like the rims off of the bullitt car

[@badaboom8520]

Agreed bro, just too many crowds sindrome, jokes aside it is truly a pain to see all those mustangs there

[@vexxx3758]

Dude i love the gages on the 300zx’s so much, as well as the cluster, like you said

[@kawaiirunnersdriftclub]

Thanks to putting the effort into this videos! It's always nice to see old stuff and I always learn something from your videos! Keep it up bro!!!

The last time I saw a Hyundai Excel on the road driving was in the late 90s. The hatch was ultra rare, and the sedans were more common.

[@codypetrin1639]

I used to own a 98 5 series like the two you found in this yard. Mine was a manual as well idk how rare it would be considered but it was a cool car. I had a auto del sol as well with almost 400,000 miles, at least the shell did, motor still ran perfect, transmission was good too. Miss that one a lot.

[@Je_luna]

That hyundai excel my dad had one white exterior with red interior and manual. I have been looking for one to buy. I've always liked the car

[@p9vg]

I like seeing you get excited about manual cars 😂

[@bhume7535]

Random ATX PC power supply chilling in the seat 9:35 lmao

[@csjames69]

At 5:10, the Mitsubishi is a Diamanté built in Adelaide Australia. Sold here as the Verada. One of only five or six Australian built cars sold in the US as a new vehicle.

[@AaronsOpenDoor]

If you haven’t already go up to Minnesota. Go to French lake it’s a little place out in the middle of no where but the junk yard is massive

[@francoboris2059]

those bbs on the green bmw 740il ...😍😍 perfect spec for e36

[@runwithit7438]

in Florida they have an aerial mass produced for motorcycles scrapyard everywhere just like cars it’s kind a need to go and see those and see what you can takeoff to build a new one well new to the person building it.

feels like we are firends even tho idky ur vids help with motivation alot thanks mike glad i found ur youtube

[@rabbitwidow1252]

seeing these videos makes me want to go the scrapyard s and see how many cars i can save , i love your videos they really keep me occupied and my mind off things

[@ArtemisStreamsGames]

The focus you saw was an svt as far as i could see, so yes the manifold on it was for a turbo, the turbo was already snatched

[@BobErkle]

All the power to your brother I don’t know how long you were in the junkyard before but I know if I left somebody in the car to go walk around a junkyard they would be there until dark because I’m taking as long as I possibly can

[@siamiam]

good yard to walk through , thanks for sharing :D that was a lot of mustangs and f bodies , lot of good parts scattered around . im curious to know if that was a sc300 or 400 and if it was a manual ? can keep a eye out for 2 door rav4s and nerf bars for a crv too ? :D

[@tadejpolak1448]

That black e36 on the start of the video..... Aint bad... And a M42b18is engine 140ps.... Got 2 of them motors.... They work good.... Just need oil and water 😁😁

[@Bohemiahotrodandcustom]

The Mitsubishi diamante was manufactured in Australia and exported to the US, it was a fantastic car to drive well balanced, excellent fuel economy. In Australia it was also available in a station wagon.

[@craigethorley623]

Worked on the z31s in 1987. Brockbank of Altrincham.

[@neonaffliction]

6:08 My favorite BMW, its a 7 series e38, always wanted to get one but no chance.

[@evanstewart4285]

5:00 in aus we called them Mitsubishi Veradas and the base model a magna. had a ralliart version too.

[@brandonfahey8567]

That focus that you said was straight out of 2000 is a 2001 Saleen focus which came stock 5 speed with a 2.0 i4 turbo

[@dubiousf00d]

Another good junkyard vid. Cool to see your lady taggin along in some capacity lol. Definitely looks like more fun then the solo missions.

[@MistaGabagool]

That 83’ Mazda B2000 pickup is a great find, plus the canopy on that must be super rare to find

[@tortron]

My buddy has one with rotary and rx3 grill (his second identical build of a truck like that), I have 2 of the canopies lol

[@iamSovi3t]

Firebird/camaro taillights are another thing you need to look at- they run between 80-120 PER

[@pedroveiga2289]

At 1:43 you can come to Portugal, there's plenty of them here for quite cheap.. ohh and their all manual in here. We don't use Automatic gears

[@joshhumphreys6049]

Some of them are totally salvageable. Need to start going to junkyards again need a good project or something to flip

[@ItsDemomz_33]

There's a z31 around where I live, and you really have me wanting to go see if I could get it. It would definitely be a fixer-upper, but I would like to save it before it ends up in a junkyard. Amazing video as always crazy to see how far everything has come. Always looking forward to the next one 🤙🤙🤙

I knew that was a tanning bed before you climbed in the truck, i have used so many in my life 🤣🤣

If you look at the seats in the rx8 the centers of the headrest area have engine rotor shaped cutouts There's actually alot of them all over the car

[@sidsmith4832]

Nice. I'm in Tennessee where is this junkyard at. There is some neat cars there. Might wanna check out too.

[@robertmcdevitt7873]

5:16 Mitsubishi had the Diamante to sell alongside the Galant and more people liked the larger Galant so they stopped selling it here after that. I drove one back in 2003 on a first date when Ashley let me drive her car. Mitsubishi was popular then, and silver was very popular color in early 2000's for many cars.

[@robertmcdevitt7873]

Asa general observation, Japanese manufacturers of computer chips like mitsubishi and hyundai also produced heavy equipment like excavators and the mitsubishi fuso cab over box trucks. Mitsubishi used to manufacturer large, rear projector tv's in the 1990's. Japan would have sold many more sports cars if the USA didn't have archaic sanctions stemming from WW2. THe USA also limited Japanese cars to 276 HP output which is lame. But Chrysler and dodge really didn't have a rear wheel drive car for decades besides the Viper. SO they had borrowed a lot of mitsubishi technology and rebadged the eclipse as the plymouth laser and the eagle talon. What is cool abot the galants is that you could convert them to the AWD layout of the vr4 ifyou changed the gas tank to an eclipse gsx tank and changed out the suspension and mounted the rear diff, etc. DSM fo eva!

[@chosenone101]

Thanks for the tour! I love seeing the old cars!

[@johngroat7992]

The green parts in the trunk were from a John Deere. You commented on the giant rod but you didn't comment on the big Pistons sitting right beside it. And I see at least three sleeves. The springs are for a pickup are there a combined or a Bailer.

[@uzys]

id love to know what yard this is so i could pick up that black porsche looks like the perfect project car!

[@kimetozouach]

I know where it is lol i just left there earlier

[@elijahmaddox8500]

As a 3rd gen firebird owner thank you

[@robsan9156]

I'm restoring a z31 300zx turbo like those. Such a shame to see those 2 there. Really rare now

[@anthonyrick9750]

The Mitsubishi diamanté was only produced in 03-04, my mom has one in NM that has been wrecked in the front. Finding parts for it is damn near impossible because it was only made for 1- 1/2 years before it was discontinued. Defiantly a stay away car unless you have a clean one that’s garage kept.

[@its_tricky_dick]

Plenty of parts in Australia where they were built and cheap too. Search for magna or verada

[@derekr3895]

I've seen a few Diamantes in the wild. Pretty sure people swap the cams into the Chrysler/Mitsu 3.0 V6 cars for a lil more pep. Never seen a hyundai excel on the road, but have seen a few for sale. Pretty uncommon, but unique car.

[@OryanGoulbourne29]

Love the junk yard content 👌

[@dan44zzt231]

Those Hyundai's were called Pony's here in the UK. They were really popular for Banger racing as seemed to be weirdly robust for a cheap car 😂

[@techbeast17]

Haha 😅 I was so wish you weren’t so far away from there then I would ask you to go back for some of those red 328 vert mirror covers

[@rv.d.h6587]

2:00 that trunk is full off tractor parts cooland pump/ cluch plates/ those springs are tedder tooths

[@PrizzaMike]

Interesting! Thanks for the info, I had no idea tbh

[@aaron71]

That 6-wheel Dakota was an RV at one point. Be super cool to put a truck bed on it!

[@isetthem]

So you are kinda right on that ford prove wanting to be a 240sx. It was originally meant to be the mustang replacement but cheaper to make.

[@Knownworldwide]

Need more boost! I’ve actually never seen lawnmowers or bikes at junkyards here. That’s kinda cool.

[@robertmcdevitt7873]

17:44 You are looking at a Serro Scotty Class-C RV based on the boxy first-generation Dodge Dakota.

[@jacobblack3759]

That VW touareg has brembo calipers, either 17z or 18z 6 piston. I pull every set we get at our yard 20-30 sets later I've made some good money on them haha.

[@stitchessounds1581]

not sure if anyone else has commented this but that Mitsubishi diamonte is called a Mitsubishi MAGNA here in Australia

[@te71se]

04:59 that's actually a Diamante (built in Australia even) but can totally see how they can be confused for a Galant

[@cgslidez]

Both The sc gs were sad too see I’ve also never seen that Mitsubishi before but what made me even more sad was too see those z31s just sitting there but atleast they have each other 😂 great video can’t wait for PT2 🤟🏻

[@BrokeGalaxy41]

I believe some e36s come with a m50b25. One of the great bmw engines, cast iron block etc. Also I believe the rx8 motor is not exactly a 13b I think its know as the renesis, which is quite a bit worst than the rx7 13b.

[@psg6544]

As someone currently trying to rebuild/modify a junkyard-worthy 1988 Sentra 4-door (similar to the Sentra 2-Door Manual you found in the video), seeing just how terrible of a condition that 2-door was in really hurt with how hard it is to find replacement parts, let alone junker cars to pull parts from

[@W0rp3D]

That diamante was built in Australia and exported to the US, in Australia it was called a Mitsubishi magna, you guys got the higher spec versions which in Australia was called a verada, you also only got autos

[@its_tricky_dick]

They also didn't get the vr-x.... the only decent magna

[@BSDKllr]

grab the tail lights off the silver z31 its the turbo model with factory tinted tails! the red one may also be a turbo turbo = wing on all years except 86. black trim is also a turbo thing.

[@joshhumphreys6049]

The diamante was a 3.8 ltr v6 did a swap from the gts eclipse 3.0 and swapped the 3.8 was a fun ass car

[@drummerdude476]

Damn I'm watching this in my 4th gen Camaro, I need some of that stuff lol

[@lamarrox5929]

Bro, where those bullet holes in the lexus GS300 or am I seeing things?

[@jaristo]

The Probe debuted in 1988 and was designed long before then, so 240sx wouldn't be an influence. Also, no one should hate on it for being FWD. I mean, you drive Integras around all day, haha. Really an underrated car. If you find another one, include it in your video, I'd like to see it.

[@tomcat630]

Agree, and its a Mazda design too, based on 626. Meant to be Celica competition.

[@NuclearPineapple]

How do you get quarters from the junkyard? Do they let you just cut them off, and what do they charge?

[@ATLASGAMINGApallo]

Depends on the yard but they do prices also depends on the yard and what car

[@PrizzaMike]

Usually they allow sawsal but not a grinder (sparks) to remove body parts like that I've seen yards charge from $50 to $300 for a quarter, so it's hard to say
