Got a nasty old dent in my hood and I need a new one. Color makes no difference to me. Please let me know if you have one.

Within reasonable driving distance of Chicago,IL.

thanks folks!

Not sure if you only wanted the reliability of a forum member or possibly have already checked this place out, but I see the PicknPull in Hammond, IN, has 7 300e's listed, including two '94's......I'm guessing with your Chicago address it's a reasonable drive. The PNP in Columbus, OH is really a well run yard, which, I know, is usually an oxymoron. I just pulled two doors, two fenders, and a hood for a W124 I'm repairing. $40 per piece is their usual charge for body parts. Hope this helps.

Let me know what the PNP Hammond yard is like if you would. I've often thought of stopping there on trips to Chicago, but haven't taken the time.
From looking at the PNP website it appears to be one of their biggest yards.
Thx.

well i got my hood and a bunch of other parts from that yard. same color as the car too, what a break!

the yard is nice. very well organized, nice gravel and all the cars are secure. it's definitely a HUGE lot right next to an auto auction. plenty of w126's and whatnot, even one with euro bumpers.

Glad it worked out for you.....even the same color. The PNP in Columbus is the same way, well run, cars organized, lots of gravel, and cars are securely elevated. Just pulled the last piece (a sunroof) of maybe 10 body parts in total from an '89 260e that was at the Columbus PNP yard for alittle over a month. Hate to see the car go, but when I pulled the sunroof the tow motor was working its way down the line towards me. Haven't done any research on PP yet to see how the heck I'm gonna get the sunroof I pulled back in the car I'm working on. It sure was a pias to remove! I was thinking PNP had another lot in Indiana, but will have to look again.. LKQ is putting in a PNP type lot about 45 minutes west of me off interstate 70 near Dayton. As big as LKQ is, it's surprising they haven't just bought PNP.
