they have two yards - Kilsyth and Campbellfield.
Check out their website - it's pretty simple, but useful :)

In my experience, Centre Road Wreckers are far better than Pinch-a-Part. They usually have quite a few Lancers/Galants/Sigmas etc there.

Had a look at Campbellfield pick a part today, not much out there as far as the stocks for sigma's and galants go just a heads up if anyone was thinking of having a look out there, there was 2 sedans mostly striped and a few wagons, i did see a sigma wagon out there that had a Astron 80 rocker cover next to it not sure if was the real deal though didn't bother to lift the bonnet as i was in a rush.
2 pajeros, motors and most running gear had been striped but still had most of there panels if anyone's searching for them. other than that magnas as far as the eyes can see :lol:

im going to hit up the central road wreckers next in springvale and have a bit of a look to see what i can dig up there.

Hi guys, i was down at central motor wreckers in springvale this week and i noticed they had a blue 4 door lancer in the yard, figured it was worth a mention in the event anyone is chasing parts, there was a few galants in the yard as well.

Dont waste your time at pick a part.
Centre road wreckers have Early models galants, lancers and even a couple of starions.
Unlike alot of wreckers that only keep a car for a few months they keep their older stuff until most of the stuff has gone before they are crushed.
