DodgyBastard Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Tomorrow I'm going to collect some tat from the epic Aberdeenshire scrapyard having travelled up in some of the worst fog I've ever driven in tonight.

Lacquer Peel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is there anything in the Aberdeenshire scrapyard that's even vaguely salvageable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derskine Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Is there anything in the Aberdeenshire scrapyard that's even vaguely salvageable? I got some Mk2 Cavalier recaros a while back for my Cortina. I was hoping to get another set yesterday but someone bought them last week apparently.

It cost me £125 all in to have it delivered which seems quite pricey for a pair of front seats but fuck it, someone might want the rest...

bub2006 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Looks a high spec model too, sure I can see front and rear electric windows. The roof looks like it could be salvaged though. But depends on rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They_all_do_that_sir Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 OMG how awesome (and fucked) is that. Love the interior. Must be very early?

worldofceri Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 If the roof is that bad what's the floor going to be like? (Still awsum tho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Also changed the glow plugs on the c15 DSC_0256 by srblythe, on Flickr 3 of them were oily looking. I removed the ones from the white c15, I had read that it was difficult to change them because of having to remove the inlet manifold but it was relatively straight forward.

barrett Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Are you north or south from where the car was? Lots of Mk1 specific bits would be worth stripping and keeping hold of (that dash looks mint!) And I am gonna be in Scotland at some point soon in a big van...

barrett Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Jeez man its wven further away now! Did you get it to run or just hoik it on to the truck? If you don't mind I'm gonna share one of these pics on the BX Facebook page - somebody might want to save it now it's not stuck in a muddy field, and if not there might be some folk willing to pay you for some bits...

I'm not sure it was stuck in a muddy field, the ebay pics were on a gravel driveway. It was winched onto the truck then I had to drag it off. I'll try getting some pics of the underside today.

dollywobbler Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Rear cross member, boot floor and the state of the rear wings are the key spots. I love the interior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Considering the evidence up top, that doesn't look too shabby underneath. Nice one, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Well, given there are just a handful of surviving Mk1 estates, it would be rather spiffing if it could be saved. Have you had a chance to inspect the boot floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 That looks surprisingly not fucked underneath actually. How long would you theoretically hold onto it before it had to be moved on? alcyonecorporation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Its always a good sign when the jack doesn't go up with the car staying down. As most of these seem to suffer underneath rather than on top perhaps some sort of roof transplant is called for. jonathan_dyane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
