Arrow Pic a Part report, please contribute

Irwindale/El Monte (Peck Road) - Nada save for an really rare '79 SA Ltd Ed. Sad to see that in a junk yard.

UPick USave Pomona (Mission Road) - Absolutely nothing

Pic a Part San Bernadino (now off 6th rather than 9th) - Absolutely nothing. Surprising considering how big their yard is of Japanese cars.

Ecology (Off Riverside) - Absolutley nothing.

Pic a Part Ontario (Off Pyrite) 2 '87 S4's, one no engine or tranny, the other one missing the stuff I needed under the hood (near brand new radiator still there)

Pic a Part Ontario (Off Milliken) 2 '87 S4's, one has a serious punch in the nose, the other a GXL (so the NA LSD you've been looking for)

I'm still looking for a S5 where I can get a good drivers side parking light unit.

Please contribute intel on other yards.

Arrow GSL-SE at a Pic a Part yard

and the injectors are still there. I'll share which yard it is to the first guy that can tell me where I can get my S5 Drivers Side parking unit. Not just the lenses (thanks for the offer), but the entire unit.

I was just telling my buddy last time that it seems that the number of available donor FB and FCs have decline over the past few years. I use to see about 5-6 FCs at the Peck Rd bone yard, now it's like 1 (picked to hell!) if you're lucky.

They're harder to come by as each day passes, even at the Pick A Parts. So start whoring your parts like Wacky!!

Question

at the pick a part on katella in anaheim, there is nothing. At the one on beach and ball, there is a s4 that says gxl on one side, and gtu on the other. Pretty complete except for guages and radio surround and brakes.
