Odds and ends parts

Post by eddiecohoon »

Does anyone know of a good reasonable priced junk yard or something in which you can find less popular parts? like the plastic lens that slips into the rubber boot for license plate light on a 98 C70 coupe?

If the parts are to small, you may be better off just getting them from the stealer. By the time you drive to a junk yard, search for hours, pull the part then steal or pay for them (they will likely give you stuff that small), you could have called the sealer and had them ready for pick up.

Try Strandberg Auto in Centuria _ I've had good luck with them and they know Volvos.
