I've been buying doo, dads and gizoms from about seven wrecking yards for
five years.
There are just a lot of Vanagon parts that seldom need replacing so I
don't buy them as spares.
I've offered to buy bulk from these yards at a cheap price if they'll cut
me a deal a couple of days before they start crushing.
I think I offended them because they never call to extend such an offer.
With the last batch that went to the crusher from three of the yards
there were five 80-83 Air cooled, ten 83-91 Water Cooled and about twenty
pre 1980 vans, thirty bugs, beetles that all went to the mill.
Apparently I don't think like a wrecking yard owner but it seems a waste
when they know I'd buy a few hundred dollars worth of plastic, glass,
carpets, seats, door panels that have no crushed value at all.
