Adventures in Car Scavenging

I've never  been too much of a car guy, so this was a new experience for me.

The passenger seat in my VW Passat has recently stopped working; meaning the electric motor for the seat positioning failed and it was stuck in a very uncomfortable position.

Not too comfy, huh.

Well I looked at ordering a new one online but it was crazy expensive to ship it.  So, someone told me to try a Pick n Pull.  So, a few Saturdays ago I went. It was like another world.

Rows and rows of all these old cars.  


I finally found a VW Passat (they had to give me a map). It was already quite ripped apart but it did have a seat in decent condition and I was able to get it out.



After another Saturday of "open car" surgery, I was able to get the seat in.  Yeah!!!


Now that it's over, I kind of want to go back again and see what else I can get off it.
