Hi there. I'm Halfcent, remember me? I used to be on here all the freakin' time. Then I moved, economy went to hell, projects got shelved, you know how it goes. Anyway, things are much better now. My Cobalt's got 95K miles on it and the suspension is worn out. I figure that's a good reason to tear the whole thing apart and do a bunch of little repairs that I've been putting off for some time. I have been keeping an eye on the salvage yards and today was pay day. Check out this beauty:



2006 SS. Came in two days ago. It took a straight hit to the side, right between the wheels. No suspension damage. It missed the front wheel by inches.



So what did I get from it?

Rear axle beam, loaded (parking brake cable, calipers, rotors, hubs, springs, mounts, if it was attached, I got it)
Front engine cradle (two bolt sway bar)
Both knee assemblies (control arms, knuckles, hubs, calipers, rotors, ABS sensor, strut, spring, upper mount)
Sway bar assembly (bar, clamps, bushings, end links)
Steering rack
Brake booster, master cylinder, ABS Rear Portioning valve
Dual blade front radiator fan
Sunroof assembly (a little damaged, but I got what I needed and the glass is intact)
Gobs of other little associated parts

What did I pay?

$800

Read it and weep boys.

I'll be tearing down and cleaning up the parts in the weeks to come. Installation over the course of the Spring. I'll be completely removing my powertrain during because I have to replace my torque converter. There will be many pictures, I promise.

I'm back. You're Welcome.

 

NICE find!

 

Jealous!

 

What a steal!

 

great deal!

 

You suck!!

 

Wow it's been awhile since you've been on here. I remember you from the ced meet at Lattoff.

 

So uh, is the spoiler and rear lip in tact?

 

Deck lid and spoiler where still fine. Rear facia and lip looked like they had been beat up prior to this wreck. Repairable, but not pretty.

 

Great Find Bro!

 

Welcome back man!

 

take the front lip!! lol

 

this and then sell it to me if its in good condition haha.

 

trying to forget...i wished my orignal name never got banned in 07

 

id say sell to me but I'm saving for something else right now >.< lol

 

Are you in Nashville TN?

gahh i forgot how bad it was till i looked at the pic again

 

atleast you have the ss bumper n lip lol mine has a ltz bumper..AN LTZ BUMPER!! theres a reason why i dont post pics of my car and thats why -_- lol im so ashamed of it. My friends dad fixed my car when it got hit and the bastard cheaped out and got that bumper instead of the ss one cuz it was cheaper. I've had no money to replace it myself

 

Hmm... you look familiar..lol. Glad I read your post, I scrolled a little bit and saw a wrecked balt and though, that blows haha
