Hey, I went to Orlando this past winter and they had a slew of W140's. I racked up on overhead dome lights for $8 a piece. I'm on CrossCreek, but my shop is in Temple Terrace. I'm planning another trip up there. Your welcome to tag along.

You are spot on about the numbers of W140s in Orlando. I have been twice to look at potential project cars and there are more than a few in the local pick your part type of recyclers as well. Let me know where your shop is in Temple Terrace. I'm through that way fairly often.

Can you help me find an affordable trunk lock trim cover for a 1993? There is 1 on ebay for $100.00

Such a hard part to run down without cracks and sun fading issues. If you live anywhere near an LKQ recycling yard or other U Pull It type of yard you may have better luck on a constant vigil to see if a W140 ends up being recycled. Best luck I’ve had is watching cars come in the yard for first pick and hard to find parts. Best of luck in your search and thanks for watching the channel.

Yup, there are two W140s in my local Pick a Part yard. The trim cover was gone when I got there. I will keep my eye open for another.
