'just bloody scrap it' - the eBay 'fuck me, what were they thinking' thread

[warch]

Quoted from the advert; Plastics around engine no good from heat, everything else looks good.

Phew so apart from all the bits of the engine that are made from plastic like the computer(s), the hoses, the loom, often the inlet manifold and sensors it should be fine.

Reserve not met at £2250 and relisted. Looks like people don't want to pay a lot for a ringing kit. 

[delux]

"Please don’t offer me £2k , cheapest engine on eBay is £5k "

Is it from a burnt out wreck too?

I've bought engines for things on ebay for £100 and not had to chip molten plastic from them before fitting!

This just needs putting out of its misery.

[bunglebus]

I was quite liking that until I saw the inside

[spartacus]

Jesus Christ, it's fucking scrap. I try very hard not to post negative stuff because it's not really helpful but that takes the piss, it's like it's a bet to see how much profit can be made from dubbers out of two scrap cars.

Verdict : Wank.

Why. The. Actual Fuck.
I Have so many questions about the train of though as to why such a thing exists other than "fucking dubbers" 

[New POD]

It's an interesting "concept" 

I'm not sure how much A class drugs you need to think of the idea.  

I know a few very good Engineers who could have advised them on chassis design

To be honest there are people from primitive cultures as yet untouched by the modern world who would take one look at that and say (and I paraphrase their exact words) 'That looks fucking shit mate'.

does it have "Fred and Wilma" across the top of the windscreen ?

Actually, if I had 750 quid spare, and the space to reassemble it, I'd be bidding on that. Far worse than that has gone for a higher price, and being a Kingston upon Thames one adds to the value. Seriously isn't over priced in my view.

What are these on the side of the engine. As they super secret Leyland mad max super chargers with clutches?

 

[Inspector Morose]

From R-L, dynamo and what looks like a magneto.

 

edit: the ‘clutches’ are just couplings. Basically a rubber star inbetween two toothed wheels. Sometimes known as a Smiths type coupling or a Hants and Dorset coupling as they used this type to replace the useless plate coupling on leyland diesel fuel pumps..

That orange VW van is on 99p. It should be in the eBay 'bargains' thread even at that price.

I'm going to disagree on this one. Going on what's in the picture, I'd have loved to have had access to something like this when I was converting my old Renault Master back in the day - central heating, Thetford bog, fancy distribution panel and charger, 3 way fridge, cooker etc. etc.
