yup thats the nathan all right.

hit a patch of ice, lost control and went on to deerfoot out of control and got hit by a gravel truck. he's ok physically but mentally he's pretty screwed up about it right now.

believe it or not, PNP has started having the odd cobalt/Pursuit/G5 - late this fall there was a G5-GT - iirc it was an '07

not many have come in mind you, and right now they're all wrecks of some sort... but still...

when the weather is nice, I will go on Fridays to check out what's on (admission is free on Fridays, and I work a block away);
If you post up what you're looking for, I might be able to find what you're wanting...

when I was there last week, I don't think there were any Cobalts.

I live in Riverbend, so I'm close too...

admission is $1, and they're doing winter hours right now, which means they close @5pm; they probably won't let you in the yard after 4:45pm.

On summer hours they are open an hour later iirc.

you're best off going in on saturday unless you have days off... I have gone there alot, but don't have any friends who work there (and can likely get a DEEP discount on parts themselves).

no SS's have yet hit the yard; I don't expect any to for some time either...

I only knew the G5 was a GT because it had an LE5;

iirc I believe the G5-GT had much of the back half cut off, but the interior was pretty much in tact.

I can't recall if the door panels were in tact, right now the most common Ecotec cars are late J-bodies.

So what pillar trim??
What else?
