I went to tumwater a week or so ago on a good tip from luke, and just about everyone else, that tumwater had a big selection of thirdgens, when i went there was a GTA and a hacked up v6 bird, apparently they crushed them a few days prior. i called around to both yards in belfair, PNP in tacoma, kitsap auto wrecking etc just about every yard i know of and came up with NOTHING, is there a yard somewhere that i can actually find a good thirdgen to pick from? Schultzy has a flywheel for me but i cant find time to make it all the way to oregon to pick it up so if i can pick a t5 flywheel out of a yard to surface id be content, i also need a couple odds and ends out of the cars

Last time I was there, Yank-a-Part in Pouslbo had a fairly good selecton of 3rd gens. On some the motor was already gone and I can't remember if auto or stick for the rest. Up Bond Road and left at the light on Stottlemeyer Road, yard is up a dirt drive on the left - pretty well marked.

If you make it up there, pull a set of injectors for me from a 350 TBI truck annd I'll pay you back for them.

Unfortunatly, there are a couple guys now who are stripping them down for parts to sell , to where that all is left is the crushable parts.

Did anyone watch the season premier of Top Gear last week? They mentioned a site called www.howmanyleft.co.uk They don't have anything like that state side do they? I've always had a hard time finding f-bodies in junk yards.

There is nothing in Whatcom county. There is a decent one in snohomish and lake stevens, but those get stripped by parts buyers if you don't get to them quick eniugh

Tumwater Pull-A-Part crushed a lot of inventory. I was there a few days ago and it was very poor pickings.

Pick-N-Pull by McChord in Lakewood was improved their selection drastically since they were bought out. Their prices have gone up, however.

The last time I was there they had no V8 manual cars. They did have two fourthgens and maybe six thirdgens, so it might be worth a look.

I would agree yank a part has/had pretty good selection. Yes, I am also frustrated with all the people pulling every single part to make a buck.

If I had more money and time to invest, I'd be going around pulling car parts to resale. It's a pretty good business in my opinion. I usually try to help folks out by telling about parts I see or reselling for a fair price because it's not a business for me.

[jchaussee]

I don't mind paying a little more for parts because I save time from going to the junkyard, but some people think that these things are more valuable then first gen cars. Like 150 bucks for a junkyard guage cluster that you are not even sure works??

[turbo_jimi]

Tumwater and Lakewood give 30 day warranties, so who's not doing that?

[aaron_sK]

Lakewood is exchange or store credit only now. No cash back. Not gonna find a second 145 speedo out in the yard just like that.

Also, need receipt for exchange, and I doubt the dude is gonna give you a receipt showing he spent ten bucks on something he's flipping over on you for $150.

I actually live a few minutes away from the Poulsbo yank-a-part. Everytime I go there I see 6-10 third gens. Not terribly far from where you live Blu, If you go to check it out give me a call and I can help you find it. Your roomate should still have my number! Plus, we need to talk about a sound system! =P good luck bro.
