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

[Agila]

A pantomime horse inspired merc ml, feast your eyes on this. Somebody has spent a lot of time and money making this look ridiculous.

From certain angles it looks like an RTC.

Ever wondered how to turn 2 shite ml's into 1 and a half? 

*some viewer's may find the following images distressing.

^^ reminds me of a film I should never have watched ‘The Human Caterpillar’...... I take no blame for the scars it left on me, thankfully the crazy bitch who was really into it was put out to pasture.... in all fairness she was a BOBFOC and I was drinking to much Scrumpy.

Looks like someone already has scrapped this one tbf.

Description is quite honest, you can tell they just barely got it that far on the truck without it disintegrating.

Brave project + Need a tilt and slide to move = ITFFM,BT

"It's rotten"

That's quite true.

"£1000"

Errr... but you just said it's rotten?

This smacks of someone who's paid £50 for this from round the back of a garage and now thinks they're fucking Wheeler Dealer royalty.

"Bags of potential"

Also true - it could swiftly become a washing machine, a fridge-freezer, bean tins... the possibilities, like the seller's optimism, are seemingly endless....

I suppose if you really wanted an early Metro for something like this

It didn't have cardboard windows, Street Machine goofed with the photo editing

Well it has a dumper engine so it makes perfect sense* to add more dumper parts...

 I have tried to photograph all of the rust and have been quoted £200 to get the necessary repairs around the rear window and for battery tray. 

WHY NOT GET IT DONE>? OR IS IT HOLEY THAN A TEA BAG?

What's 2 scabby minor doors worth?

 

This body was going to be used on a hot rod chassis but it never happened. It was cut in two and a few inches added in the middle to make it wider. There is no floor. The doors still have their winding windows. I was going to put it in the field, fill it with soil and plant lots of flowers in it as a feature of interest but my wife said no! No offers, local delivery possible. £200

This badboy is back, now even more alluring:

Been bummed for it's engine
Being listed with the same pictures (presumably to hide how much it collapsed when the engine was taken out?)
Still £300 which is 100x more than the remaining iron oxide flakes will weigh in for

"a ringing kit"

[Dave_Q]

This is not quite scrap yet but it definitely belongs here. 

THREE THOUSAND POUNDS the seller is asking for this heap. He's actually taken out the photo of the front footwell which showed it full of rubbish, and bongs.

Both my own eyes and the last MOT tell me that all the bits of this poor car that aren't made from fibregash and £shop matt black are totally rotten.

Quote

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

• under body has had several repirs, under body heavily under sealed.
• Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material all pipes covered in under seal (1.1.11 (c))
• all front and rear suspension components have surface corrosion

£300 maybe, for someone with no shame to drive until the MOT runs out.

I appreciate this is old, but to put it back on the road is going to be Triggers broom territory,

Ten large?

For what's basically a collapsed shed with a sidevalve in it?

That's not a comedy CDC, I think that must be a portrait of the vendor.

I had a restored Suzuki SC100 "Whizzkid" that had already begun the rusting process familiar on these a couple of years after.

An SC100 that's been in the bushes since 1996?

That's the modern day equivalent of a Saxo with fibreglass bodykit, neons and lexus lights.

I'd love to own a Whizzkid some day, and it's sad to see one left to the weeds.
