KW area junk yards.

Hello I am looking for some junkyards that have first gen Rx-7's. I am located in Brantford, so I am in the middle between Hamilton and KW area. So any yards that you guys know of, and posibly directions would be loved.

I am looking for a diffy to rebuild with 4.77 gears, and a few other things.

Thanks, Ted

I am very seriously doubting that you'll find a diff in the scrap yard with 4.77 gears in it.

But I have a diff from an 82 GSL that has the rear disc brakes for sale if your intrested?

Cambridge auto wreckers go both ways, you pick pull, they pull.. you pay alot less doing ot yourself. P.S talk them down price wise.. its not really hard to do lol

FYI - Logel's charges 30 bucks as a "cover charge"...

They're not pick and pull, they get it for you unless it's on the shelf.
