SA Wrecking Yard Spotters Thread

Hey guys

Thought this would be a good idea to do.
Basically whenever you go to a wrecking yard and see a Corolla or Toyota that others could use parts from, let us know by posting it in this thread.

Would be good if we could get this stickied.

Ok so today went to Dry Creek Wreckers, Cormack road Wingfield

Was to many cars so I took pics, from what I remmeber there was:

couple KE70s
two KE30s (one 2door)
KE36 wagon
couple of Coronas (different models)
couple T-18s
ta22 celica
ra40 celica

Was up at Elizabeth u-pull-it today. Really not many e7 stuff. Lots of ra6* and coronas though.

And as most of you know, lonsdale u pull it is moving and only opens in a few months.

does anyone have a pic of the price lists at the u-pull-it gates? i presume everything has gone up since the reopening at lonsdale.
isnt it now $2 to go in? rather than $1. lol

its a fucking marathon for me to drive to either of them (im in the hills) so a rough idea on what im gonna spend before i go will be helpful.
if a closer wrecking yard is only a few bucks dearer than u-gank-it ill shop there instead.

but not nearly as fun as trekking thru the rows of cars searching for gold. :)

Cheers.

5th July 2010, 11:50 AM
Well just went up to u pull it Elizabeth on Saturday, yea $2 to get in in.

Absouloutly Jack all good stuff. Was a really rough t18, nothing good left really...

Was looking for a manual ke70 but failed as their was only an auto one and a wagon with no gearbox....

Heaps of coronas though, was one ke30 that was all 70s era wise.

Had to drop the whole drivetrain out of the ke30 lol was after the thrust bearing carrier as my ke70 one broke, was a risk but it was similar and still worked...

Also southern auto parts next to All Clutch and Brake have two t18s, no diffs or bars though....

Lonsdale U-pull-it is now shit, went there on the weekend, there was about 2 ke70's there and nothing else particularly useful. Nothing is ordered by manufacturer any more so you have to search through the whole place (which is now 1/4 of the size).

Yone see t white ke70 up the back of the lonsdale upullit? There was Lca's in the back that had been modified, I thought it was genius and forgot to take a photo :/. They had like chopped where the balljoint pokes through, drilled some holes, and then had bit that held onto the balljoint and bolted to the lca. It was a super clean ke70, pity they must of sideswiped something :/.

Hey man, theres an RT81 (1973 Corona) at UPI Lonsdale as said above. I have taken a couple of lights (I have the same model Corona so I've been slowly raping it). Last time I was there the brackets and headlight cups etc were there. Just the lights themselves were missing (Buy fresh ones from Supercheap, Repco etc). Second row of Toyots in, about 20m down haha

There was a fresh yellow slanty out at gillman upullit this week, I had a mate grab an indicator off it but most of the front was apparently smashed. Also the blue ke70 at lonsdale was an auto so i it should 4.3 diff gears.
