Wrecked FD's in local junk yards

My friend and I both just bought '93 FD's, and between the two of us, we have a hodgpodge of little broken parts. I was home in St. Louis last week and called through three pages of junk yards in the phone book and NO ONE had a wrecked one. If anyone knows of a local yard with one or more that they're parting out, please leave me the number or at least the name and city so I can look it up on yahoo. Thanks guys, -BN

The list as of now:
Two (2) interior passenger door handles
interior trunk cover
R1 spoiler/ Lip
Power Antenna
Driver's side door compartment cover
a non-nastily-worn shift ****
'93 stock wheel lock key
anything aftermarket that's not retail priced.

You're better off looking on partstrader.com or the for sale section. Even though you hear of crashed FDs here, that's only a couple in 50 states out of ~8000 registered. Good luck finding one anywhere.

I'm sure that any FD in a junk yard would be completely stripped in a week, if even that. Not to mention that the parts you are looking for are sought after by a lot of people. Those would be some of the first to go.

Yeah seriously ... every time I've heard of FDs in a local junkyard by the time I get the information the car has already been sent to the crusher because it's been picked over. One place got 3 at one time and within 3 days they were gone.

I know Spyfish is parting out his totalled R1.

FYI - McGard makes lots of different wheel lock key patterns. You'll have to go to a dealer to see the McGard keycode book and try the master key set.
