Now I'm trying to find some VW wheels to go on my X. I decided to go to one of those You-wrench-it type salvage yards where you walk around and find what you need yourself. It was the most fun I've had in YEARS!!
It was like going to a car show, but all the cars are displayed in sort of an exploded view! You can walk around and gaze inside every kind of car on the road. You can see the guts of Honda 16 valve heads, and Jag straight sixes, and big ugly Mercedes four cylinders.
The reason I'm posting it here: it's a FANTASTIC way to be able to examine all kinds of different parts first-hand. For those fabricating exhausts, there are all kinds of flex joints, elbows, mufflers just laying on the ground ready to pick up. Switches, seats, alternators, tires, wheels, tail lights, engines all exposed to be measured and examined for possible augmentation projects.
Of course I felt sorry for all the cars there......but I'm going back on the weekend where I can spend more time!!
I didn't find the wheels I was looking for. But I'll have fun looking again!!
