Does anyone know of a good junkyard in or close to Orange County?

rizzle · 08-28-2004, 07:32 PM

no... you need to find a more industrial area aka wilimington sanpedro ghetto for some junkyards. OC is too goody goody for that shat

los · 08-28-2004, 07:40 PM

Yeah, I noticed. I went to Pick Your Part and found absolutely nothing.

rizzle · 08-28-2004, 08:14 PM

It's a pain in the ass but here's an idea. Find your local telephone book and lookup every junkyard you can find in your area or go to www.smartpages.com and look up for auto dismantlers in your area. Get thier numbers and just start calling around to see if they have any 240sx shit or www.car-part.com or something and search as well. Also depends on what your looking for. s14 is hard to find s13's ar emore abundant so good luck

I was able to find a complete s13 f/b at a junk yard in santa ana off 4st i got my ps rack off of, i dont remember the place but its real close to the I5. What part do u need, i just totaled my car and am looking for a shell to replace it w/, lemme know

los · 08-31-2004, 04:50 PM

I need some s13 coupe parts (spoiler-less trunk, 3rd brake light mounting bracket, etc).

I may have found a junkyard with an s13 coupe, but I'm not quite sure.

wondering, what color is your car, where are the main exterior damage?

los · 09-01-2004, 10:06 PM

Well I sorta had a good find. The Pick Your Part on Beach Blvd has a white 240 Coupe. It's 91-93 non-SE that's in fairly stock condition. I can't tell much else because it was on a flatbed. They said it will take a few days for it to hit the yard, so I guess that means it will be sometime around Saturday.

I think I am going to try and hit up a few local junkyards on Saturday, so if anyone wants to join me, let me know. Hopefully I don't come back empty handed.

gbeto · 09-01-2004, 11:54 PM

its got the front smashed, but the engine is still good ( I think) I think it was over 160k... yup.. and I will also be looking for a RHD clip in here or a complete engine and tranny on the junk yard.... if U see something like that hit me up!

JKim0901 · 09-02-2004, 01:51 AM

i went to the one on beach today and didnt see the white one, if you guys see it on saturdays lmk please, i need some odd things that most people arent looking for thanks

los · 09-02-2004, 09:15 AM

It was in the back still. I'm going to go back on Friday or Saturday to see if it's out yet.

los · 09-03-2004, 02:05 PM

Well I got everything I wanted this morning from Pick Your Part, so it looks like I won't be junkyard hopping this weekend after all.

I was there on Monday looking for a 13 too, no luck. I just laughed out loud when I imagined all of us approaching that white coupe at the same time and just giving each other cold stares, then running to the car.

FYI, the yard on 4th street is Wrecks West @ (714) 547-6245. You'll speak to either Jim or Victor, excellent individuals. They have an engine-less 240 there as we speak.

los · 09-05-2004, 10:11 PM

The car ended up on the lot at about 11am on friday. I'm guessing it's probably down to the frame by now.

Vatche · 09-06-2004, 01:25 AM

we should all exchange numbers and find out what eachother need so we can all doeachother favors of getting lil parts here and there for eachother or calling to let them know they see something the other person needs

gbeto · 09-06-2004, 02:26 AM

We should just have a meet or something.

I haven't been to one yet. Actually I went to the SoCal Summer BBQ, but I didn't talk to anyone. It seemed like it was just for Drift Day anyway.

los · 09-06-2004, 06:02 PM
