lisbon_road Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Visited Silverlake, massive tidy breakers in Hampshire to find a Mk2 Cav estate and an immaculate Mk2 Fiesta. They're doing a £50 for all you can carry on a Thursday in August - check with them please. Can't remember when I last saw a Cav estate in particular. Their prices aren't the lowest but the place is tidy and well organised. There was an E reg silver Sierra in the prep yard as well, no idea what that's destiny is.

lisbon_road Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 By the way, there's a sign on the Fiesta saying speak to the staff before taking parts so what the plan is, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcars Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Wonder who weight in the Fiesta, seems a shame. Looks clean as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheezey Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Two extremes with non car people who have an old car. Considered either a load of old rubbish that needs scrapped even if it's mint or a sure fire valuable classic worth loads even if it's hanging.

lisbon_road Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Cheezey is right. How many of us have visited scrappers to get bits for cars, only to find them full of cars obviously in better condition than the one at home?

oldcars Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I stuggle to get any Shuma or Rialto bits. No Shuma's and the Rialto's are always picked bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Wonder who weight in the Fiesta, seems a shame. Looks clean as well.It was probably on eBay for £8000.

overrun Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Fuck these aresholes. I bought a rear Mondeo Titanium X Sport bumper from them, from a 40K mile breaker, in extremely good condition in the pics, and also verified by them. When it arrived it looked as though they had been playing football in the yard with it, before packaging it. Dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardK Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 By the way, there's a sign on the Fiesta saying speak to the staff before taking parts so what the plan is, I don't know.Probably someone tried ringing a Fiesta/reshelling and got caught out. It looks very clean there... and they're so mechancally simple and OMgFord values it'd be fixed and sold if legally feasible surely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendry Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I stuggle to get any Shuma or Rialto bits. No Shuma's and the Rialto's are always picked bare. What you need to do is visit some of the local Kia dealers, chance your arm on them having loads of Shuma bits lying about forgotten about upstairs in the parts department that otherwise they are never going to shift, nobody else is going to come in wanting them, and theyre never going to get retail price so theyd probably sell you the whole lot for a decent figure as its better than them getting skipped and them getting nothing. But do it now before they do get chucked, when I worked in main dealers usually stuff got skipped in a parts department clear out every 5 years, if it was for a car older than 15years old by that point it was definite, anything sitting prominent for even 3/4 years got skipped. Once saw a genuine Irmscher styling kit RRP about a grand getting launched in a skip at the Vauxhall dealer next door to us. They would never even offer us the stuff cheap or ask incase we mightve knew someone who wanted it for cheap. Then our place had a load of Xsara bits getting launched, only 1 guy in the branch owned a Xsara and the stuff was no use to him so it just got binned. wasteful! oldcars and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Good point. You could yield a load of stuff for nothing. It gets in the way for them. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordperv Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 So If 4 of us grabbed a corner each on that fiesta and carried it out that sounds a good deal to me I bet that could supply a lot of useful parts for that red mk2 I covet on here danthecapriman, Dick Longbridge and strangeangel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaShrimp Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Bugger me that Fiesta is better than mine! Same colour too so I'll have the whole thing please! Tbh for £50 all you can carry there wouldn't be much left if I was nearby and it's a shame that it's actually there, hopefully it'll get saved. If not someone go get me bits I'm miles away Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philsford Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The fiesta looks like a 1.1L.I would have the seats door cards and bonnet if I lived that way on. Those bits would improve mine no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Ah man, would love to have a tilt at putting that Fiesta back on the road, assuming that shiny paint ain't hiding anything nasty that you could poke your arm through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaShrimp Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It's definitely been painted recently and while the bonnet lines up nicely the passenger wing is sticking out and starting to rot round the indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
