Saw an '87 'Manche at the LKQ: D-35, manual tranny (2WD), 4-cylinder engine. I was dreaming all the way there.

I went back for my disc brake parts, took some pictures of the poor little thang...
This might be the best part...

The donor for my rear disc parts.
When I started, I gave the body a good shove from the side, to see how stable the stands were. After removing one tire, the parking brake cables, calipers, rotors, pulling the shafts to get to the caliper brackets, it seemed kinda light in the rear. When I removed the second caliper bracket, the nose went down and the arse went up!!! :wow:
I stood flat footed with my palms on the rear threshold, and pushed the rear down to the stand.
Lets be careful out there!!!
This is what $60 looks like!

Next time anyone is at a yard, if you could pick me up a ZJ (w/ disc brakes) E-Brake cable bracket, I'd be forever indebted to you. Getting ready to move has absorbed all of my free time. Beer + Cash

Went to the U Pull and Pay off i25 and 76, and they had a couple things that I found worthwhile
-Ford Excursion with a complete front end. It will be a metric D50, but it was complete and you could use it for a 14/60 hybrid type of axle, or just use the D50.
-'97 white two door, looks like it ran into a brick wall on the front passenger side. Drivers door was rough, but looked OK from 20 feet. Most interior plastic was there, it was the light gray. Rear glass was tinted but still there. Not sure if anyone wheels 2 doors, but I know the old body style glass is a PITA to find since thats all I seem to break when wheeling.
-Couple Exploders still had their rear 8.8s. Some where complete, others not. I dont know enough about them to say which have the LSD and 3.75s, but there are some there.
Looks like axles are ~$100 with core, so would be worth it.
Awesome weather today, and I found a WJ 242 and shift bezel. Its a non HD, and the bezel is cracked, but I think I did OK. Off to figure out what makes an HD an HD.

Looking for: '97-'01 bright red front clip. Hood, fenders, header paner, bumper, caps, flares, grill and bezels......all parts red, like the Classics and Limiteds have.
Also:
Still need a passenger side headlight bezel for '97-'99 in gunmetal. '00-'01 won't work as the color went darker.

I dont know if Steel Blue is the same as gunmetal, but this guy has what you need if they are the same. Google search looks dang close to me.
