TX Austin area salvage yards?

Where are the Austin area salvage yards? Is there any good FB content at any of them?

Head north on 183 until you see a sign for Harold's on the right, it's in the town of Briggs. Also there are some incredibly fun roads in that area. You really can't miss it. I haven't been out to see what RX7's are there but it should be pretty decent mix.

Good problem to have eh? An overstock of FD parts. I've owned one FD in my life, it was bone stock w/ low miles. When I was leaving Germany a buddy of mine begged and begged for me to sell it. I finally gave in thinking I'd just buy another when I got back to the US. Big mistake.....

If you have any big FD projects going on I'd like to check it out, it's been a while since I've done any real work on one, 10 years to be exact.

Thanks for the input on the salvage yards. I'm surprised there aren't more around Austin. I'll check out Briggs, I assume I can just take 183A all the to the end then someday I'll hit Briggs?

I've got a bunch of first gen stuff.

www.taylorrotorsports.com

The parts are part of my personal collection, the shopping cart on the website is just to make ordering/looking parts up easier.
