[Madison Area Junk Yards?]

There is a place visible east from 90/94 over by east town mall that I've been meaning to check out. Not sure if it's a pick and pull but a decently sized salvage yard.

Yeah, I believe that's Copart.  I've tried calling but they don't let you pick the yard.  

 

If anyone else knows of anything anywhere around southern wisconsin let me know where you all go!  Thanks

[Madison Area Junk Yards?]

Hi all,

Anyone know of any other junk yards around Madison besides Schmidts by Waunakee?  Been there a couple times but still looking for a few things.  They only had one e30.  So, looking for various e30 parts.  If any of you have been around the state and notice e30s where have you found them?  

 

Specifically looking for parts for a 5 speed swap, and the bracket that adjusts the power steering pump.  Pump bracket is only $10 new, but figured a day out in the cold is more fun looking for one.  

 

So, just wondered is any of you had any leads out there?  

 

Thanks,

Andrew

[Hello from Madison, 1991 325i e30 'vert]

Hi all,

Just wanted to say hi from Madison.  Long time bimmer guy, have a 2011 135i for my DD currently.  Just picked up a black 1991 vert in IL for a fun project car. Looking forward to getting some pics up.  Have to clean her up first.  

 

It's black on black needs some work.  Some leaking oil, suspension, seats etc.  But top and body were in tip top shape with no rust found yet.  Runs pretty decent, some shaking in either the suspension or transmission gubio, so gotta figure that out.  Got for a pretty good deal though I think.  $2700 w/ about 100K miles on it, but is an auto.  Clean carfax.  Someday i'll do the manual swap.  

 

So, any Madison guys handy here on these engines?  I plan to teach myself on the engine stuff.  Got the bently manual and I know enough to be dangerous, but extra minds are always welcome!  

 

Anyways, saying hi!

 

Andrew
