Anyone know of any? I need to start sniffing around for parts. My car is a '90, so I need to steal some stuff off of a 91-> higher for a swap.

Also could use a new hatch.

I've never rummaged before. ( kinda looking forward to it, I'm a big "Junkyard Wars" fan :pface )

To bad I won't have an ATV to help.

Been years, I mean YEARS since I went rummaging in that part of the world. I know there's one on Rt 300 or is it 301 that goes from Glen Burnie to PG County. It might be in Bowie???

I'll see if my brother can think of any. He's in the Pasadena area and has a shop called "The Shop" they specialize in suspension and "hard" parts, no electronics/stereo stuff.

Good luck and Happy hunting.

if you want to treck up to central PA, there is Harry's U-Pull, the biggest F-ing junkyard you will ever see in your life. It has over 10,000 autos or somthing like that. Fields and fields of cars...

I'm in the glen burnie/pasadenna/ severna park area and dont go to Redmonds Junk yard. I went there a few weeks ago looking for s13's and there were none. Just want to save you some time.

my gf lives in severn, md. Right near Archbishop Spalding and that Walmart.

Don't know of any others? PA is a bit far for me just to hope that they have the parts I need. By the way, if I do go to a Junkyard, do they pull the parts for me? Or do I have to bring my own tools to get the parts out of the cars?

The only parts I ever got at a junkyard were a few wheels. They moved a few cars with a forklift and then lifted the one up so I could take the wheels off. I think they helped me and I dont remember bringing a tire iron, it was a long time ago.

They have every single car lifted off the ground using steelies (not on the hubs, but at three points underneath so you can get to everything) And they are organized into Imports, domestics, trucks, cars, etc...

Youve got to bring your own tools but a simple tool kit will do fine for just taking stuff off. Oh, and i went to there smallest location and there were 5 s13s there so i dont think you have to worry about not finding them at the big location.

Did i mention they have good prices on stuff too?
