I seem to be turning into my own U-pull-it Miata junk yard. If you need something from an early car, ping me and I may have it.

New arrivals spotted today (Jan 17)

'90 Miata, red, looks like it was wrecked all over- no 1 major impact, then sat somewhere for a while. A guy was pulling the windshield today so I didn't give it a very thorough look. Had a couple of stock looking steel wheels, rough interior.

~97 Protege- didn't look at it very thoroughly

2nd Gen RX7, I think there may have been 2 of these.....

2nd Gen CRX, looked pretty well picked over

~2000 Mazda MPV (!)

~80 BMW 528i (e12 body for those who know about that sort of thing....)- looked like 99% of these that I've seen- kinda old and tired.



Didn't have time to look at the domestic rows- I'm planning to go back there Thurs or Fri, weather permitting.


Feel free to PM or email me if you want me to keep an eye out for something for you - I usually check this yard out once a week or so.

Bret.

Hey Bret.

that 97 Protege interests me. I could use a spare pair of front fenders, bumper covers and a drivers door (don't need the door panels or windows, just the steel parts) -- heck the windshield would be good also, if I knew how to install one!!!

I am leaving town, so I am sure I won't have time to get over there. How long do items like the ones I want usually last over there?

Mazda MPV, huh? I'm looking for the driver's power window guts for a 97 MPV although any gen 1 (89 to 98) would probably work. Could you check for one if your going back soon? Muchas Gracias.

Thinking about going down to this place tomorrow. Anyone have any specific directions? What name should I look for as I drive on 70? They open on weekends?

They are open 7 days a week

Its on the right and has a big "LKQ" banner.

If you get to Bojangles, you went too far.

Just went out there again Thursday- they have put out about 3-4 new rows of imports since I was last there. Nothing too exciting (for me anyway), but plenty of Japanese cars, Honduhs, Toyotas, Nissans, a couple of Subaru's (what does "WRX Sti" mean anyway....) A Justy and a Sedan, the Miata I saw last time was still there- though it's pretty rough AND it's an automatic!! They even had an A1 Rabbit Diesel that looked mostly complete. As usual the Swedes were well-represented- why are there always soooo many Saab's and Volvos in pick n pull junkyards???

A couple of new rows of Ford's and GM's too- not sure about the Chrysler section- didn't check.

Saw a '97 Cavalier with front hubs intact (Vincent).

Is it good or bad when everyone who works at the junkyard knows you??


Sorry I was not able to check for specific requests, trust me- it's worth a drive out there (and $2 admission) to have a look for yourself- unless you're looking for BMW parts- if so, just buy them from the dealer.... :wink:
