Seattle parts

[Tessie McMillan]

Campbell-Nelson in Edmonds/North Seattle. I haven't used them recently, 
but picked parts from them quite a bit in the early '90s (I have an '88 
80Q). Seems I've heard they're big into VWs now.

There's also a second-hand parts guy/wrecker that I found from this 
list whose name escapes me at the moment. I can look him up when I get 
home if nobody else remembers the name; I thought he was in California. I 
bought an entire front bumper assembly from him. It arrived safely, well 
packaged, and was in the condition described over the phone. Anyone 
remember who this could be?

When all else fails, I go to Barrier here in Bellevue and have them 
track down new parts. If they don't have it or can't order it, they 
search through all the Audi shops and then hook me up with the seller. I 
tracked down an exhaust header (can you believe they don't make an 
aftermarket sport header, you have to find the rinky dinky OEM piece?) 
this way and ordered it over the phone from Boston. The downside with the 
walk-in method is that the other gold-chain customers tend to look down 
their noses at my "old technology" jalopy, but the parts guys more than 
make up for that attitude with their service. And too, sometimes I just 
use the phone &:-).
