Junkyard part finder (testing the waters)

I apologize if this is in the wrong section - please move it if necessary.

Recently a friend and I have been regularly going around to junkyards in the area for fun and to find random parts that we've been needing.

Trying to test the waters out, would there be any interest for us to find specific parts for people who can't find the time to make it out or just can't find the parts in general?

Please leave any feedback or questions

5 x 115, dead nuts W body....black 17in powdercoated 5 point star with MASSIVE protrusion to clear the large brakes
never had its cherry popped...
some chipping and marring of the powdercoat on the spokes but if it was stripped and the raised letters ground they would make superb skinny's for the TR, light as hell and we could run some 28in tall rear tires.
just put some moon discs on em for aerodynamics, and make the TR look fast even though it aint

if i can find another one it would be possible, the 17 inch rim is light and would let us run a large od tire (better fill the wheel well) without excessive sidewall height that leads to wandering/fishtailing in it.

btw a 94 v6 mtx SHO in white with tan interior is at aurora and yes its all intact though the manual shifter bezep n boot were gone the car was 95% intact

I'd have to double check next time I'm here but I think that there is a truck in the yard I go to in Joliet that's what you're looking for. Any parts in particular besides the PS box? I'd guess yours is a manual?
