I feel like a chop shop

[texan_idiot25]

I feel like a chop shop. This is the various Cadillac parts my dad has collected over time, lol. All are parts that have been taken off for variouse reasons, and cleared warranty. Once their cleared, their either thrown away, or an employee can take it, most dealerships dont care.

Parts box, some will be used in the CST10

on right is the tail light trim we bought. The round set of speakers are Bose tweeters. Some round speaker grilles, an escalade door speaker grille, some pull handles, more tweeter, 4 side mirror turn leds, a dome light, and the headlight retainer rings we bought.

Visors, the 2 matching ones are CTS one if I remember, the driver one has a built in garage door opener. The right one is an escalade one, bigger, and preferred if we can get another. The 2 cts ones will be painted to match each other if used. all have working lighted mirrors.

going to ebay

will be fixed, ebayed. If all goes well, we can get into the business of trades with these. There are notorious for going out with bad solder joints. My dad developed a technique to fix them. Then a year later a guy stole the idea, brought it up to cadillac, then got paid tons to fix them

Escalade backglass-ebay

escalade radiator-ebay or sold to a local radiator shop (too big for the CST10)

and this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140105184050&rd=1,1

The escalade exterior parts, and radiator is from one that got hit by accidentally with an acid chemical, and stained the radiator, and left a spot on part of the back glass... on the inside of it, Where you cant see it from the exterior. The HID headlights have an insanely slight spot where what seems like a clearcoat on it has come up... its insanely hard to tell. But picky Cadi owners wanted the lights replaced. That can be sold, wether a body shop needs a pair of SRX lights, or ricers that just want the HID elements.

So, if ya need some cadi parts, keep an eye on ebay, or we can just take the best offer.

wow thats a lot of stuff

[texan_idiot25]

Yeh, finally have something to do with it, sell it for cash to build the CST10. ;)

[sweetvette]

why don't you use osme of the parts For the cst 10. HID would be hella cool in an old pick up truck. Same with a lot of those other items

[texan_idiot25]

Were thinking on the HID elements, but depends on their actual size. The deal is, high and low are 2 seperate elements

if im not mistaken, i think that 3rd brake light is the same for an ext as a regular escalade

no, im pretty sure that the EXT has a more pointed brake light, and the reg is flat.

[texan_idiot25]

Its not. My dad cadillac technition, been doing it for around 20 years. This is just some parts from the past few years. But yeh, the EXTs and the Regular escalades 3rd brake light dont fit.

[Numbchux]

a lot of parts? haha, maybe you forgot to post a couple pics. :lol:


I have about that many parts in my house, heck, I have almost that much in my living room. not to mention my Shed here, and the piles in my parents' garage.....or any of the parts that went away with my blue wagon. :nod:


my dad and I have completely parted out 3 cars. my old '85 wagon weighed 400 lbs when we had it scrapped :roll_eye: brought it to the scrap yard on a little utility trailer behind our minivan.
