Looking for Wrecker near Wilmington CA 90744

Hi,

I'm in Australia, but am having trouble finding parts here so I need to import them from the USA.

I use a shipping agent in Wilmington CA 90744 and need to find a wrecker/junkyard close by.

The parts I need (1988 IROC) are:

* front cross/K-member, prefer spindle to spindle

* aluminium tail shaft

Can anyone recommend a wrecking yard in Wilmington who would have these parts and be prepared to ship them locally?

I feel you Peter You guy's down under have it hard and these parts aren't cheap in your country either And to ship anything to AUS via USPS is a pain in the A$$ I learned this first hand


I have been in SOCAL a few times and there is a big Pick your part in Wilmington,BUT you have to pull the parts yourself.Maybe one of these fine SOCAL guys can help you out ??

Re: Looking for Wrecker near Wilmington CA 90744

Thanks for the reply Dave. I have a shipping agent who charges $50 a box, which isn't too bad.

Shipping containers are used to move cars out here by sea, and they just stuff the boxes into these shipping container. Take a couple of weeks, but usually works ok.

You are right PAP isn't an option. I am trying to find a wrecker who will have these parts on a shelf and who is willing to box and ship it.
