Agreed with the both of you!
Not sure if it's still there but about 2 weeks ago I was at Deer Park wreckers and saw a navy blue fairlane with mint full leather seats and door trims, was considering it but I like my leather/velour seats too much.

Not bad, in the range of fords it's average, have seen a few good things here and there though. Not 100% sure what you mean by pick a part though haha
Went to Jolly's in Dandy today, nothing special.

Pick a part means u can go there and grab what u want yourself, alot of other wreckers you goto the front counter, tell them what your after and they go get it for you.
