Any good places to start with if I want to hunt down some trashed Focus pieces?

I know there's one just south of me near Raeford - where else should I be looking?

Send a PM to Jeremy Gast or give him a call at Wagner's.

LKQ in Clayton on Hwy 70. It's a U-pull-it place. Open 7 days a week. If your in the area it's worth the look.

I've been there several times and have yet to see a Focus. If you need a 3-gen Cavalier part though they have you covered! :D

LKQ - They have lots of Celicas? Maybe some 5th gens? I need to go parts salvaging for a bunch of misc stuff.

While I don't know jack about celicas- I'm pretty sure 5th gen cars are newish, so they probably don't have many, if any.

They do surprise me sometimes with newer cars, but they mostly get older cars in there- they buy lots of cars from tow yards, etc- usually paying ~$150 per car, so they're not likely to get anything extremely late model.

Bret,

5th gen Celica that I need is 90-91. Might be able to use 92-93 parts. So not so new.

I'll call them and ask before I go out there. Most of the parts I want are stuff that I don't want to buy new. And a couple of parts to maybe do a small conversion if I can find the right models.

Not sure if the OP is still looking- but they have a focus in there now (Oct 17th)- a 4 door sedan. Pretty sure the engine is gone, but it looked like it had some good bits left.

Definitely - did you happen to notice if it was the 2000-2004 body style? I'm not sure if the seats changed with the 05+ or not.

Thanks!

It looked like all other Foci to me.......so it's probably the earlier style....
