Bug scavenging

Yesterday I was able to visit Henry’s Used Auto in Blackstone, Massachusetts They have a pick your own part section. They also have a section of “oldies” to check out. I knew they had some old VW Beetles so I thought I’d check it out and see if they had anything I could use. I’ve been visiting this place off and on over the years and its always interesting see what they come up with.

It was a beautiful spring day in the low 70’s and the place was hopping with activity in the self service yard.  I was mainly in the hunt for VW stuff so I headed down to the oldies section in the way back. Here’s a few snapshots from my visit.

I was a bit disappointed with what was left. These have already been picked through pretty well. Though some good body parts, lights and glass remain. The interiors were pretty much gone through already. I wasn’t looking for anything particular though. Now I have a general idea what’s there so if I need anything I’ll have an idea of what’s there.
