Been through Hawkhurst twice today, going back Monday and Tuesday - I'll make a detour and see if they have any transit parts.

It’s a very good scrappy I lived in Hawkhurst for about 12 years and it was also a good place for a cheap banger with a bit of ticket as they sell a few cheap motors from time to time.

 

Years ago the scrappy would advertise recon engines in the exchange and Mart and the amount of people that would ask for directions and when you told them it’s the scrappy down the lane no one would believe you.

 

I bought an engine for a polo off them and it was a brilliant engine it didn’t use a drop of coolant and oil.

 

Also Rootes started up in Hawkhurst so for that reason alone it should be a Shiters paradise maybe that’s why the Talbot chod is in the scrappy.

Surprised to see that 2-door Rangie in a breakers. It looks entirely repairable, and they are worth reasonable money these days.

 

It looks like it's been rolled at least once...
