Default Dfw Junk Yards? Any Z's Out There?

Hi,

Does anyone local know of any auto salvage yards where the broken Z's go?

So far i called around and i found Texas Auto Salvage in Grand Prairie that says they have 3 z's there now?

said they have a few engines too, already pulled?

anyone else know of any other places or the rep of this place...online reviews dont look to great?

also, where else in town sells Z engines or might have one?

well, i went to the texas auto salvage and they have two Coupes, 1 - 06 and the other is 05 or younger. they also had one rear clip of a silver roadster.

if anyone is interested i saw passenger side 06 blk door panel
Cloth seats in blk that looked good, needed a shampoo cleaning,but looked good.

a bunch of other stuff...

Wazzzup, Jason! Why are you scrounging around parts for? Did your car tap a wall (drift) or pole (autocross)?

okay, i went back to this junk yard and saw what they have. to the best of my memory.

both black interior. one pre 05, one 06+
door motors and such in one maybe.

1. BOTH cars have black cloth seats...im sure you can get one good set out of the two cars.

rear glove boxes.
rear small glove boxes.
rear glove box floor plastic
plastics by fuse box.
some dash stuff is there including individual gauges, but no complete replacement.

pre 05 ac controls.

one is auto, one is manual.

one had the nismo black tube, but only the last back part. it did have a dent, but minor.

the 06 motor is still in the car...more than likely its not damaged from my limited inspection.

throttle body still there.

MAF was there

rear trunk pieces were there - plastics.

TCS switch was there - you can use to power something else...

door switches/buttons.

thought i would let everyone know.
