Re: Jund Yards in new england
There is a place called VW Parts Department/Little Auto in Lawrence, MA. They have a pretty small yard, but all VW
I've gotten quite a few parts from them. Since they are in the heart of the crappy section of town, if you can speak English, they like you that much more. The dad runs the repair shop, the sons have the bone yard. They used to be all air cooled, so they go way-back.
