looking for VW specific junkyard in Oklahoma I went to 10 years ago
Howdy,
I am looking for a VW specific salvage yard, or really any place I can get cheap used alloy wheels to match one of mine that went out of round from some really cool pointy rocks on a roadtrip. There was a really good one in Oklahoma somewhere I went to 10 years ago; now I can't remember where it is. I am in Dallas, Texas, so more details on the OK junkyard or any other within 150 miles would be helpful. regards, Keith E. Loyd ps - modern science will never create a playground that children will find as cool as a real junkyard. |

What you are looking for is Wilson's in Lexington, about a 2 hour drive
from DFW. Sadly Wilson's is no more. The owner died back in 2000 and the yard's doors were closed. In the Summer of 2004 his daughter and her husband opened up the doors a few times to try and clear out some of the stock in the yard, all of this being announced on the Samba, but have since sent everything in the yard to the crusher. There was still some stuff in the warehouse, but I am not sure how to go about getting access to it or if it is still there. For local resources, you may want to consider asking around on the Dallas Air Cooler's site, http://dallasaircoolers.com as one of the guys on there may be able to point you to a resource close by. Alternatively you can try posting on http://thesamba.com to see if someone has what you are looking for. Good luck! Tom Keith E.

I have two factory steel wheels if that helps.
The other two met their demise with a curb. I am in DFW. Terry "Keith E.

I am in Houston Texas but i remember a shop in Mesquite that has a bunch of old VW's sitting outside. They Might be able to help. They are in Mesquite off of Military parkway I think.

Keith, I have a set of Empi Look alikes that I would part with for
50 bucks. They are decent rims, with a little bit of curb grinding damage on a couple of them on the edged that could be cleaned up. Call me at 214 458 0875 ( cell phone ) Oh, My name is Scott....( but you probably already knew that) Remove "YOURPANTIES" to reply MUADIB® http://www.angelfire.com/retro/sster...IN%20PAGE.html If A Quiz is Quizzical, What is a test?

The shop in Mesquite is Piston and Plug (972)285-5393
The salvage yard in Oklahoma was Wilsons in Lexington and it closed a while back.

found a VW junkyard in Texas
UPDATE:
2 good junkyards are within a day's drive of Dallas that I found: 1. Piston and Plug of Mesquite, they're good but only have aircooled stuff. 2. Austin Vee Dub - they have a whole lot of stuff, and it all looks well organized, http://www.austinveedub.com/ |
