A pair of those matching auto-down window switches (from a Saturn I believe) would not be bad. I can't find them at our local junkyards.

Lemme know if that's possible.

Krazzy, what's your favorite yards in the area? Best used to have a good selection, but it seems to be going down hill a little lately. More 4th gens and they are charging more for 3rd gen parts.

Oh yeah, NASCAR in Marysville!!

There are a couple down here that have full rows of 3rd gens. Pick a part in Olympia is really great. then Roy Y is ok.

So there are some good yard in washington!!

I live pretty close to the Roy Y, where is this yard at?

Where is pick a part located?

I've always went to that one yard on Meridian, but over the past couple years, they haven't had much for 3rd gens. Plus everytime you want to buy a part, they say they can't sell you just 'that' part. They want to sell you pretty much everything that is conected to that part. I mean everything!! Gets irritating..

If you, or anybody, ever run across a set of really nice red standard front seats, with factory tweed like carmine material, I'd drive almost anywhere to get them for reasonable money.

The Yard is right there on the Corner of Pacific & Hiway 507 On the Right if you are heading in to graham.

Pick a part is located at down off of exit 101 of I-5 Next to the Olympia airport. If you want one of these days email me & we can meet in Yelm (down town Yelm or even Rainier) & I will take you out there.

Last time I was in there they had a full row of 3rd gens & a couple 4ths & a ragged 2nd gen. Charge is Cash, Credit or Check normally they take almost anything.

Will most likely do a fast run through on friday when I get paid.



If you are in Olympia then you have most likely seen the Camaro club down at Titus will. We do a car show every year there in June.

Next year I do beleive its going to be middle of June.

I currently work at St Peters Hospital & drive my 87 to work everyonce in a while.

Sorry Tom Price for shipping big stuff in my local area would be more hurtfull to you then it would to find them via ebay or something like that. I would have to drive to seattle to get them shipped because the UPS store here in town will not take them.
