Today was a glorious day, it was sunny. And it was warm. And for us boys who suffered so long and so hard though winter, it was amazing. So me and my buddy Butters spent the whole day outside. First I went to pick him up then we drove to Kenney U pull’s an auto wrecker down in Ottawa near Hunt Club Road. (Motto: Real men pull it out)
Anyways, since I have last been they implemented a new “fee” which is really lame. Now you have to pay $2 just to go into the yard. SO us being there already, I paid the stupid fee. Then we couldn’t even find the part we were looking for which was the passenger side headlight for the Cavalier.
So we left and went to Standard Autowreckers at 5402 Old Richmond Road. Let me tell you, for those of you in Ottawa, it was a lot more pleasant place to spend your time. Firstly it was way less crowded and secondly it was just a lot nicer yard since instead of being covered in broken glass it was covered in sand.
Here is a van we spotted. Milk face. Wtf.
On the way home this happened.
When we got home I took out the old headlight and forgot I had shimmed it with an old belt buckle lol.
The red indicates where should be a mount. Well there’s your problem bro!
I took out the old headlight, removed the bulb and cleaned my filthy filthy radiator support. It’s silver and there is even a vin etched in under all the grease.
We ditched the old assembly and put in the new one and went from:
with our light hanging down.
To all better. God I love fixing the car in summer time!! Yay...all fixed. Plus now I have an extra headlight from the old assembly.

If she doesn’t find you handsome, she should at least find you handy.

Yes. When I went to Standard Auto wreckers on richmond I raided many J bodies and pulled out many shims and many of those stupid plastic thingys that hold the radiation cover that goes above all this in place. I always always break those dumb things.

really is a lot better than Kenney U pull’s man. I’d rather spend the extra $2 in gas and drive out there then go to Kenny U pulls. I don’t think I will be going back to Kenney’s again.

It is. Man Kenny U Pull used to be good, but standard was so much better today, I’d rather spend the extra money on the gas and just enjoy my time at the yards!
