We stayed in Newcastle last night and went out for a cruise around a posh industrial estate and found a nice car park to get some photos.

Those rear arches need painted in the correct shade of beige asap.

 

We took the scenic route back this morning up the coast.

Overall the car ran well with no issues. I guess there are benefits having industrial deafness because I couldn't hear any strange noises!

No brainer for me it has to be a day of welding shite (only cause I did that yesterday welding the ol' marina).

Mr Foad, on your travels have you ever come across an L300 van? I m after a complete column change set up. Fitted between 1986 & approx 1998 ish? If so let me know please. Or think of us if you do, Thanks. Keep up the good work. ... on another note I'll be up your way soon (Well Scotland) I know it's a big place !. Off to Dumfries, Glasgow, Finavon and then Edinburgh. Owt of interest to look out for on my travels in the way of old shite?

Is the place you are talking about Davisons of Rora (just outside Peterheid?)

No, its not Davidson of Rora Essex V6.

 

I remember the first (and only) time I was at this place about fifteen years ago, I was totally gobsmacked at the cars there, although most of the cars there at that time were beyond repair.

The green Proton and the black Sonata from FOAD's previous post - I can remember these cars driving around Peterhead in the 90s.

The bloke who owned the ground that these cars are on was getting on a bit age-wise when I visited.

Old Leslie there wants more visitors to his kingdom of rust. Would anyone be interested in taking a bus load or two up there for a huge parts haul?

Maybe I should start a new thread for an organised outing to the place?
