Are galant parts that hard to find

Are the parts that hard to find? I have a 90 and a 92 at my local pull-a-part.
Seen one of the other guys on the fourm selling the crap out of parts. I had
no idea that parts were that hard to find.

Yes.

yeah, if i could find one locally i would go trailer it home so i could strip it to nothing and sell all the parts.

Some of these cars are almost 25yrs old and seeing them in the Junkyard depending upon the region and general location of members, they aren't getting any easier to find parts for.

Still easier to find parts for than older generation Galants, if I need body parts, I look to my galant buddies in Australia and NZ.

 

[transparentdsm]

yeah but shipping costs suck...

 

Looks like I am going to strip some cars this week.

Yes. I looked for almost a year for a good condition fender and interior plastics. Finally got lucky when someone was parting out 708/1000.

7-8+ years ago there used to be at least 3 or 4 Galants,plus several T/E/L in each junkyard around here,but once scrap prices went through the roof they've gone the way of the dinosaur.

Even in New Zealand where the 6G Galant was the only car to out-sell the Corolla in the late 80s/early 90s, they are quickly disappearing from the junk yards. It seems one half of the 6G population is well gone while the other half is still on the road in good working order. On my trip back to NZ a couple weeks back I still saw a few tidy base models driving around on the roads but not one in the u-pull it style junk yards. I would say the specialist yards would still have some parts at expensive prices. Almost makes you resort to buying complete cars just to part out!

And to think.. I sent two whole sets of doors and a trunk lid to the scrap yard a few years back because they were taking up space and no one wanted them!

There are five or six in a local yard. The body panels are useless because they're all rotted. There's not much left of them that's of any use.
Another yard had an '89 that I took the manual seat belts from along with the grey underdash and glovebox. That was a sweet find. But they crushed it along with all of the 1gs that they had.
The three best local junkyard finds for me were that galant, a rusted but otherwise mint AWD 1G (79k miles, perfect interior), and a 1g with a manual steering rack.
