Today's Junkyard Trekking (pics inside)


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone.

After news that there were 2 505 turbos at the Newark, Ca Pick-N-Pull, I decided to go down and pay a visit there, as well as stopping by John Srour's European Auto Wreckyard in Newark as well.

Sadly :( , the 2 505 turbos were not at the P.N.P. But there was a maroon 505 gls wagon.

There were many parts that I saw today @ john's yard, that i asked him to keep for me, because i will be returning next weekend to pick them up.

I also decided to pay a visit to the P.N.P in East Oakland, CA-but sadly, no peugeots there :(

hey, but i got a few parts for my volvo :lol:

pics of today are below!

(and yes august, i got the pics of the broken wrench :D )

Also, I have some new pics of my car, (with teh new tires i got today

NorCal, are most of the Peugeot photo's of cars at John's place?

Jeff

yes.

the red gls wagon was from the pick n pull

lol after paying $2 to get it, i didnt find anything that i needed for my peugeot-only 4 headrest cushions for my volvo :lol:

oh yeah, and the white 505 turbo parked by a beach, is one of two identical 505 turbos that have been near where i live for as long as i can remember.

one time, at a green light i tried to challenge one of the 505's, but when i sped off, i dont think he really noticed that i was trying to race him :D

but john's phone number is: 510-795-8910

the address of his place is: 7324 Wells Avenue, Newark, CA 94560.

he has a pretty big inventory of peugeots,(505's, 405's, and some 604's).

btw, is Western Hemispheres in Watsonville??

If so, I'm planning on driving down to the montery area, and i might stop by and see if he has some parts that i want, and some parts that i need (ie, shocks, struts, front bushings).

does it have a service facitlity?

I'm trying to find the cheapest place (labor) to install shocks/struts, and some front bushings)

yeah WH is in watsonville, but it's more of a wherehouse. Not much of a store front, and no real service facility. I'm honestly not sure if they have any used parts either, but it might be worth a call if your looking for something specific.

There was an independent shop in santa clara i think that worked on peugeot's, I think the guy's name was Luis. There's also another independent shop in campbell, not sure of the name but it was in this building (this building has a bunch of shops, one of them i think works on peugeot's. I've talked to the guy before, and he seemed pretty helpful.

thanks august!!

i'm gonna see what I can do. In the mean time, I checked some prices on some parts that I need from W.H., so I'm gonna hit them up. I'll be also heading down to the Monterey Area this weekend, so if I can go check out the warehouse, I'll do it.

I wanna get an idea though of how large their Peugeot/505 Inventory is....

btw august, you lived in the Bay @ one point, right??

where??

I'm in the East Bay, near Oakland, in an island called Alameda.

I called the guy about a used diesel engine : $1,200 !

Hope he likes looking at it.

haha, not the cheapest guy around-but definately one of the closests guys around for me.

Pretty soon, I think I'm gonna drive down to Socal to visit some relatives, and i want to check out that shop that vic suggested. I think on the way I'll also pick up some stuff from Western Hemispheres.

Rob - there was a red 505 Turbo with the rear spoiler intact in your pics - would that not work for you - or was it not in good shape? Can't make it out in the pics if the same car had the turbo front spoiler too - but it'd save you a whack of grief in the long run...

I'd suggest getting the whole deck lid actually - there's like 20 bolts holding the thing on!

hey rabin!

yeah there are few reasons relating to that car-and i am planning on hitting the yard up soon to get some parts from that car.

1-there is some kinda sticky and weird residue all over that car...i dont if it mold or whatever-kinda gross (some other cars there have that s*** on them too ;)

the interior is crawling with bugs, and the seats are almost disintegrated-horrid interior condition.

i have not peeked under that car's hood...but i have-a silver turbo, and a white one.

i am probably gonna venture out to his yard in a week or two.

i plan on also maybe snatching those sideskirts off the blue one

AND IT HAS JACK COVERS!
