Duncan Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Go to general discussion, Junk yard report. I just saw that, and thanks. It's 100 miles each way for me, but I may take a run out there. I could use a few bits for my Coupe. Quote Link to comment

I could use a few bits for my Coupe. I think there were at least 4 - 6 hub caps in one of them. I thought of you when I saw them. Quote Link to comment

I'd go today but I have some UGLY dental work this afternoon that includes stitches :eek: I'm hoping I feel up to it sometime this weekend... The good point is that I may lose a few pounds over the next couple of weeks :D Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 That yard is in the middle of nowhere. So the cars might be there for a wile. Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. That yard is in the middle of "B.F.E." but I finally found a straight passenger side fender for my coupe. I grabbed the leaf springs for my sedan, and I now have an extra set of glass for both my 1200's. I also got some semi-decent coupe hubcaps to put on my sedan. My sedan has the JDM type and I don't want to risk losing one, so I've been driving it without hubbies. At least now I have a set that if something happens to, it's not a big deal. My mouth is killing me, but I went and did it anyway. Us Datto owners are way too manly to let a few stitches stop us :D Keep those junkyard alerts coming, and thanks!!!!

Glad you got something out of it. I went to that yard Thurs just after having a bigass tattoo on my leg. And went to three yards today with my leg all swelled up. Man I love pain. :D Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) Hey Duncan, the hubcaps on your sedan look like the regular sedan type, which are "DX" type. All american sedans had these as standard equipment. They were optional for sedans. Anybody have any extra? I lost two when I had that blowout on the way home from Blue Lake back in August.

All american sedans had these as standard equipment. They were optional for sedans. I didn't realize that. I learn something every day. Anybody have any extra? I lost two when I had that blowout on the way home from Blue Lake back in August. I'll keep an eye out for some. There's been a few 1200's turning up in junkyards lately. Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 BTW, I went back again today and grabbed the other set of leaf springs, (I'm going to have them re-arched to lower my Coupe), a set of retractable seat belts, (my coupe has always had the wrong belts that have never worked) and a decent fan shroud. I missed the fact that the junkyard 1200 had it the first time around, so I pleasantly surprised when I noticed the shroud today. It's so small, I don't think it will do much good, but it cant hurt.

mazdat Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 which junk yards are the ones you guys are mentioning? i need parts for my 1200 coupe also, thanx Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 There were two 1200 Coupes at Ecology in Adelanto, CA. It's out Hwy 395 in the desert. (About a 100 mile drive each way) That was last January, and I sent a few guys out that way who picked those coupes over pretty good. That yard didn't appear to be high volume, but it has been a while now... Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 What parts do you need? Quote Link to comment
mazdat Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 What parts do you need? I need the front turn signal assemblies, right rear tail light (coupe), maybe a front bumper with brackets, little pieces here and there Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Front bumpers and front turn signals are the same (coupe & sedan). So call Ecology and see if they have them. rear light assemblies were on eBay this past weekend. Quote Link to comment
