Desert scrapyard - Now with bonus materialz

[Rod/b]

So there's this scrapyard about 40km away from my house. Well, there was... Since i took these late last year it has been mainly cleared to make way for a new port. Anyhow, i'll let the pics do the talking:

 

 

 

And here's a bonus spot of a Triumph Acclaim development hack*

Fucking hell, what is it with this forum chopping half the photo off?!?

[willswitchengage]

Is this the new one in Oman? I was reading about that in the Economist.

 

Try to keep the photos under 640 width, then they'll fit most computer screens.

Image problems are down to Photobucket I think.

 

Interesting pics though, I imagine that a scrapyard with sand underfoot as opposed to the traditional mud / oil / coolant / dog shit mixture to be quite a pleasant experience.

Bloody hell, rust free Land Rover bulkheads, and Range Rover tailgates!!!!

[Rod/b]

No, Qatar. I'll resize them another time. Bed beckons!

 

Aye, Albert! And rust free er, VIN plates...

[Partridge]

The Jag-

[Spiny Norman]

Odd to see these things in a scrappy when they're totally fucked looking but not rusty. Guess they all die one way or another.

[fotorabia]

They thrash the shit out of everything....when i was i living in Munich in 1990..we went to a garage where there was a Lamborghini jeepy thingy..a Roller Corniche and a Porsche 928S...all shagged..the oil sheiker rolled them around the dunes..then flew them to Munich to be restored....then repeated his dune bashing i suppose...

One way to cure the sagging headlining

[brickwall]

I bet he had the saggy headlining and he just couldn't take it anymore and went postal on it.

[Skizzer]

Never mind all that, go and get me the front wings off that Jag NOW.

[brickwall]

Bonnet off the two door pls

[Rod/b]

Righto then so it's all of the RR tailgates, the Series Landy bulkheads and VIN plates, a RR bonnet and a set of Jag wings. No problem, who's first on this Pony Express run then?!

[Ben_L]

I was thinking, I remember a mate of mine saying Genuine Defender/Series wings are worth quite a bit in good order... Some of these look worth flogging on ebay, even with postage?

[Albert Ross]

If you can find a pair of Series 2/2a wings, no headlights in them, 1958-1968) Ideally with vertical aux. lamp positioning, I would be interested.... off a 109 if that helps. (different inner wing curvature prior to about 1967ish.)

The poor fellow thought that taking a few pics and posting them here was a bit of fun. Now he is running a a business selling used car parts to hundreds of people

[brickwall]

Aye, S2 wings in good nick will go easy peasy, especially the non-headlighty ones.

 

Of note, I secured a bonnet for the my mates two door and it was only 4 miles away. My pal will be well pleased. Well pleased indeed. I'll need to browse the pics again

[Rod/b]

Don't worry Stuno, there's no chance of that. Like i said this place has been cleared now, but regardless i have 't got the time to start chopping up old Landies, more's the pity.

 

The irony is I could probably have had what i wanted off these cars for nowt, too.
