Salvage yards are great! The shocks are new Monroe "gas-adjust" or something similar but at $5 for the pair plus mounting bolts who cares. They'll do for the time being.

Also picked up a complete pair of OEM Bosch foglights, brackets, buckets, hardware, lenses, good lamps and the plastic air scoop thing that channels air from the three vents to the radiator, the tow hook cover, a new high beam, door marker lenses and a pound of hardware odds-n-ends.

Grand total, including the $5 for the shocks? $20! Too bad I just won an ebay auction for new foglight brackets and buckets for $46. Guess they'll be good spares.

All the parts came off of an '87 740 turbo sedan that burned from the inside. I don't know what the were doing back there but it wasn't a good idea.
