Coprolalia Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Taking it all back... Saw this tidy looking scirocco in port sunlight this morning I bought this 'Rocco off it's previous owner, a young guy called Tim, in Julyish last year as a Cat C write off. 130,000 mile rare GTX. He'd rolled it avoiding oncoming traffic down a single track lane. A and B pillars buckled, rear suspension chassis mount points buckled and rusted. This is how it ended up: Anyhow, some local spots from my little part of Cardiff.Really nice Beetle. Someone's daily driver, not much rust, 1500 engine, doors that don't match. Purfic. Bonus dented Rover 2000TC. Manual gearbox. Towbar on the back. MINT! Bonus Rover The '90s called. They want their chav-mobile back. Baleful Baleno. Another crusty non-scene Beetle. This one only gets moved about once every 3 months, in between the rear tyres all go flat. And some from a barn near my mother's place:Truck porn- Truck chassis Tractor porn Bonus guess what's under the tarp Skizzer and The Old Bloke Next Door 2
AlabamaShrimp Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 What happened to the scirocco when you bought it?
AlabamaShrimp Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Apart from being really clean I thought this looked wrong in some way, I just don't know what way... oldcars 1
Coprolalia Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 What happened to the scirocco when you bought it? I bought it for salvage as it had loads of upgrade parts with the intention of repairing it and running it as my daily, however when I'd actually picked it up and towed it back it was in a god awful state. Needed a whole new rear suspension set up, replacement rear end/boot floor + chassis mounting points, replacement a-pillar, replacement b-pillar etc etc. Basically did man maths and parts were going to be 3 or 4 times what it was ever going to be worth, especially as a Cat C write-off repair. Most of it is now in my cellar having been locusted, the rest went over the bridge. Very sad day.
AlabamaShrimp Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Bugger I was hoping of some kind of epic welding story. Can see why you broke it though
4wheeledstool Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Not seen one of these for a while. Non-giffer driver too! oldcars, Angrydicky, Skizzer and 1 other 4
Coprolalia Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I considered epic welding, but my welding skills aren't all that, and it would have been loads of structural/ fiddly areas. I desperately asked round the Scirocco forums but no-one wanted it for that precise reason. The rear floor was creased and rusted all around the suspension mounting areas, all the drivers side body panels were creased and rusted, their was a twist in the chassis, I could go on. Sad sad day. It's heart and guts have been saved to resurrect another car though.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Apart from being really clean I thought this looked wrong in some why, I just don't know what way... 20150308_110526.jpgI think that the (S80 ?) wheels and black windows make it look like a late V90 with V70 taillights for some reason. Maybe because it hides how many side windows there are and the wheels are large but not obviously ' sporty'.
phil_lihp Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Went for a bike ride today and my mate spotted this sad-looking Chevy Impala sat in the front yard of a garage/bodyshop out in the middle of nowhere. DVLA says it's a 1966 5.7, tax disc in the window expired in 2008 as did the last MOT, sadly I reckon it's dead, the bodywork is hanging, the passenger door is 90% filler and 10% rust, the bootlid is shot to pieces and a quick look underneath looks like something you'd find at the bottom of a lake. I guess these weren't designed to withstand British weather. The hood looks pretty new and might be why the interior appeared to be in good shape, although the door frames have rotted away and the windows have dropped so it's not exactly watertight any more. Not quite what you'd normally expect to see on a quiet country road. The ZX appears to be going the same way, seems to have been parked up since last year, presumably an MOT failure.

danthecapriman Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Love the Impala. Shame it's been left to rot. I'd expect being a soft top it's been leaking for years aswell rotting the floors and interior.
fordperv Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 205 rallye, looks like it's had a bit of a resto, was bloody lovely Think the owner is a 205 perv as there was a grey 5 door with it, i couldn't take a decent picture because of how dark it was Luckythirteen 1
catsinthewelder Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Saw this today at Cosford and whipped my phone out for a pic, the driver stopped and grinned This winner was driving through Ledbury yesterday. AlabamaShrimp, KruJoe and vulgalour 3
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I think that Delorean is nowhere near as futuristic as this:
fordperv Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Was the owner of the pt in the bargain shop getting more stick on chrome shizz
Adrian_pt Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Impala has been in the UK for years - lots of "short" numbers were reserved for imported vehicles. Weather has clearly done it little good.
The Old Bloke Next Door Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Visited a mate today, on the way I spotted 2 VW's. When I arrived at his yard he was out, same old Shite there as when I last visited. On the way home I spotted this rare beast
The Old Bloke Next Door Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Austin Sheerline Limousine. Angrydicky, anonymous user, alf892 and 2 others 5

Coprolalia Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Austin Sheerline Limousine. 243hy0y.jpg Points to that man! Last taxed in the 1980s, driven into the barn and forgotten. This thing is ridiculous. Doors are a bit frilly, but underside's pretty good. Still got the full leather interior with fold down tables and divider screen for the chauffeur in front. There's an owls nest above it.The barn where this is living is crazy. Deliverence style isolation and nowheredom, it's all owned by a couple of giffers who sold the C17th house near the barns for a tidy profit and built a 70s pile next to it. The garden's littered with wartime Fordson tractors. Behind the barn with this is a huge asbestos shed full of 1970s plant machinery and then a threshing barn with welded steel doors. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?!?
quicksilver Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 At Sainsbury's this lunchtime. Going shopping in a WW2 army lorry = winning at life! 1944 Morris-Commercial C8 by quicksilver coaches, on Flickr catsinthewelder 1
The Old Bloke Next Door Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Points to that man! Last taxed in the 1980s, driven into the barn and forgotten. I bought a Sheerline saloon for £15 in 1968 and ran it as my daily for a year, a bit thirsty, but back then petrol was less than 5 shillings a gallon, sold at Cannock Auctions for £20.In 1974 I bought a two tone green saloon for £12 and a black Limo for £15. The saloon was taxed and mot'd for about 4 months, scrapped when the mot expired.The Limo was in very good condition, it had a recent gold seal engine and a new exhaust. I only drove it about 8 miles to my yard and sold it for £30 after I scrapped the saloon. The buyer came from somewhere down south, I wonder if the one you posted is same one. http://www.classiccarcatalogue.com/AUSTIN%201950.html

Essex V6 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Rather bright Finny! Twin for Lord Sterling's chariot! Jim Bergerac 1
Luckythirteen Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I reckon Shite spreads. Even my non-car flatmate commented on this sitting in the street outside. So of course, I ran down to grab a snap. I was kinda hoping it would be abandoned and I could give it a loving home, but...no such luck.
Lacquer Peel Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I see this locally a lot, spotted a chance to 'pap' it. It's a DTR Turbo for extra shite points. Bonus Volvo mirror in shot. HillmanImp, Luckythirteen, Skizzer and 2 others 5
