The last time I was there, about 1.5 years ago, they had 20 or 30 old Civic and Accord hatchbacks in the lot. You might check with them first. Also, there is a junk yard near my home, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh, on Route 19 in North Strabane Twp. that has whole cars in their yard. I don't know the name of it however. If you want directions to either place, just let me know. --Randy Date: Tue, 28 Apr 92 16:53:02 EDT From: arup@GS65.SP.CS.CMU.EDU I don't know if you consider Foreign Parts City on Rt 19 in Harmony to be too far or not.... they're about 35 miles from Pgh. They have a LARGE junkyard full of foreign cars and you walk around and get what you want. The phone number there is 368-8831 and if you call ahead they should at least know whether or not they have any 79 Hondas in stock. I had no problem finding what I needed for my 85 Nissan Pulsar. -Arup Date: Tue, 28 Apr 92 19:21:51 -0400 From: David_Eckhardt@ROBIN.WARP.CS.CMU.EDU George's Foreign Auto Parts Phone: +1 412 339-2170 +1 412 782-3100 They'll tell you (usually accurately) if they have a given component for a given car. I think their prices are very reasonable. A friend of mine got a windshield there and they threw in a day/night rearview mirror (which, strange but true, her car didn't have) for free. Dave Date: Tue, 28 Apr 92 20:56:18 EDT From: tsen@OZARK.EDRC.CMU.EDU I found a good junk yard on the way to Seven Springs. I got a couple of good parts for a Honda Civic 81, and I remember they had a couple of Accords too. I can't remember the address now, but after exiting I76 to go to Seven Springs, you make a left, go for 1 miles or so, and make a right (following signs to go to Seven Springs). The junk yard is another 2 miles, on your right side. Tsen
