Default Junkyard finds... What to get

What is worth picking up for cheap at the junkyard?
Tail lights, interior pieces ( common buttons in which lights go out, clusters, panels, seats, etc. ), Electrical parts? harnesses?

Example: I want to do a rear disc swap for my EG. I need to find a 94-00 teg correct?
but if i could find a few rear end discs, i could sell a few of them and make a couple bucks.

Stuff like that... Or like crx tail lights are sort of rare. Saw a full set I could've pulled off just because they were so nice.



Lets see where this thread goes.... I have a feeling but...zzzzz

You can find a lot of good interior and exterior body parts for cheap. My best find was the EG center console cup holder for $2 in perfect condition. It's over $50 from Honda.

Honda transmissions for sure. I can buy civic/integra manual transmissions for $75 and sell them for a big profit most of the time.

Motors as well. Sometimes you get lucky and find a good swap real cheap to keep as a spare or sell for profit.

if you run across any nice seats, center consoles, and if there are rice tuned hondas theres prolly some ram airs or cai's. get some bucks for that stuff. all in good shape of course. im pretty sure anything you find and if you sell it cheaper than anywhere else they will sell.

Any good parts, but especially body parts in good shape. I have one junk yard near me and they kinda suck. I have a bunch of little things I need and they have nothing!!!
