I am having the same problems too. I live NW of Chicago and most of the pre 1990 Volvos are rotted out/gone. (We use too much road salt in the winter time). So anyway when I do go to the junk yards, there eather WELL picked over or there just so beat up theres nothing to use. I find that the EBAY commuity has people picking up all the high dollar stuff and reselling it. I guess the only way to keep our bricks alive is to keep in touch like what we are doing now. So sad how things are changing like this, I used to have so much fun going to the "u-pull-it" yards, its a slow and painful death to a really neat era.
Take care,
Jonathan
