nice site to find car PARTS for realy cheap, just cause you know there are more cars there then anyone will ever want to buy/fix. but if you are looking for car parts you would be good to go. but 50$ a month is a bit steap for me to reg with them. ill just wait till the spring when the auto auctions start back up. huge one in columbus and akron, i try to go to every yr and all you need to get in there is a 25$ (?) vendors license

If anyone grabs a 92-95 SSEi in the ubiquitous green that has a perfect or near perfect front bumper cover, let me know. I'll throw some cash in on one in exchange for the bumper 
. It'* the only thing that is going to show lasting damage I can't fix with some paint after I put the clear corners on.

Flood cars can be a pretty easy turn around....assuming there was a low salt conent to the water. So the wiring wouldn't be tooo bad.....

Well...in most cases Katrina water levels were over most of the car roofs.
That'* one to keep in mind. Motor would be full of water... interior could be pretty smelly by the time you get it.
