Earlier this week, Jack & Kansei clued me into the three wrecked Miatas 
at Brandywine Auto Parts near D.C.  I drove down there this morning, 
and although the wrecks were fairly well picked over, I was able to 
find the two things I needed.  Someone on the list asked if they had 
the molding for the bottom of the windshield, under the wipers.  They 
did, but please note the use of the past tense - it was one of the 
parts I needed, too.  Unfortunately, there was not another that I could 
see.  They also were able to fix me up with a radio harness, but had to 
pull a Miata radio from the upstairs to find it still attached.  Total 
cost for both parts - $20 plus tax and a tip for the unfortunate guy 
who waded through broken windshield glass to get the molding.  Not bad, 
considering Mazda prices the molding at over $90.

There's not much left salvageable from these cars.  There was what 
appeared to be a usable tail light assembly in the trunk of one (didn't 
think to look if it was a left or a right), and a single Miata emblem 
among the three cars.  Some other moldings appeared usable, but I don't 
think any of the body panels are worth much.
