Subject:Salvage yards in San Diego

We have quite a few good yards.  Because they are numerous and mostly LARGE,
you will spend some time looking.

I don't remember names, but they are clustered in the same area.
Directions:

-805 south from San Diego
-Main St exit in Chula Vista (go left at end of ramp)
-Left on Energy Way
-many yards up this way, two I especially like are on the right, and are the
biggest.  These are the crawl-in-the-mud-and-grease kind of places.  About
as good as it gets.

There are some other more specialized yards nearby, including at least one
that specializes in VW stuff.  Expensive, but he may have what you want.
Directions:
-go back down Energy Way to Main St (it may have a different name here, but
it's the road you came in on)
-go left (away from Hwy 805)
-road winds up to the top of the mesa
-on top of the mesa is junkyard heaven, just ask for what you need, people
seem happy to send you to someone else

Good Luck

Raymond
