Good So Cal Junk Yards/ Pick-A-Parts

[5spoke]

Hey I am in LA for a week and wanted to stop by and check out some good junk yards that have a decent supply of e30's. I am just in need of a few small random pieces that I thought I might find. Plus I have never actually gone to a junk yard and think it would be fun to look around for a bit. If Anyone good post either a link to the yards website or an address that would be awesome. Thanks Guys!

Hey mang,

The very best for e30's is in Sun Valley.

No shorts nor sandals., bring your own tools and $ 2 cash.

Good luck hunting

My fav is one Tuxford right b4 the 5 fwy in sun valley. The second best one is right down the street on glenoaks and pendelton!! The first one always has a good amount of e30's the second not so much but i found many nice parts there as well.

Yeap, that's the best one, but, what's the address again ?
when on 5 South I get off in Lankershim Blvd, make a right, then make a left at light and it's a block down on the right hand side. Has that big Monster truck as a sign.

[bmw325csi]

well its on Tuxford and telfair, dont know the exact address

Yeap, that's the one.

btw, Erebuni is on 8942 Lankershim, last time I went by they had new old stock Zender spoilers, Kamei and other parts.

If you just want junkyards, Alpine in Glendale on Ave. 26 has decent prices and a good selection.

There are 2 or 3 Pick Your Part yards in Wilmington that occasionally have e30s.

If you want a pricey parts yard, but which has anything you want, cal Harout's in sun valley

[bmw325csi]

Harout is fuckin nuts with his prices. He just looks up the stealership prices then takes off like 10-15%. The only thing i ever bought/could afford from him was an airbag knee bolster for $70. Alpine is pretty reasonable, i got a 3.73 lsd and a afm for $370 both from an 72000 mile e30.

Have fun fishing, like the rest of us zombies out here!!!

Awesome! Thanks guys, I will probably be heading out the middle of this week to do some hunting. Im excited to check it out, even if all I find is a fusebox cover, it will still be fun! Thanks for all the help!

^^ The trick at Harouts is not shaving for a few days, lol.
Look for chubby/grey haired old man., gave him $ 400 for my hard top.

Awesome! Im excited to check it out, even if all I find is a fusebox cover.

After many years of going to the yards, i've found only one fuse box cover in good shape. But I'm sure You'll find lots of good stuff.:D

[e30polak]

I'm cool with the guys at Alpine, especially Steve, and Edwin, Tony can be a dick.


Some of the prices from them:

m50 manifold+t-body: 70
e34 oil pan: 30
odb1 wire harness + red label 413: 300

Those are hard to beat, but then again I'm cool with the guys there. ;)
