I remember that fiat , well gone now. Seems there are a few who like old yards, how's about a scrappy meet up some time ?

I've just been to this place and liberated the OSR window from that Ibiza for £20. TREASURE!!!!!

Long way to come for a window  :-D  :-D  I'd have happily got it for you , it might even have fitted down my pants.  Not a bad place to spend a few hours is it

Why don't we have a special thread pinned or something for posting rare* cars in scrappers with exactly where they are?

I came across another haul today but didn't have a camera to hand, E28 BMW and 4 old mercedes one with a very 80's zender bodykit and bigass Ronal alloys

You're not kidding. 55 miles each way according to Google maps - its taken me SIX BASTARD HOURS to do a return trip due to every fukin bit of road being at a total standstill, despite taking all sorts of convoluted diversions to avoid the predictably log-jammed M6. Removing the window took less than a minute!

That's still less bother than getting one posted from mainland Europe and wondering if the courier will play juggling or footie with it.  I'd call that a win.

Looks to be a shiters paradise! I wouldn't mind having a scout around that tipo myself if it were nearer, or that croma td which Shares oily bits with my Tipo td.

Today's spottage at the scrapyard. Being a tight arse, I was buying some wipers and a relay. Didn't get a picture but there was an old metro VDP and the rustiest XJS I've ever seen. Anyways it's Deatons at Staveley.

Ignore that. Its a 3 door escort now I've seen it with phone upside-down

If anyone is heading to JT Wades any time soon can you check out that Dodge van for me. Could do with a solid bonnet and a grille with intact chrome for mine!

Erm, E30 3-Series. But would have been better with a Ghia badge.

I'm not proud of some of the things I did in my youth. You live and learn.

 

These days I won't even have a pint if I'm driving. Loosin my license would be like loosing a leg.

Do you mean the 5-Door CVH equipped Escort Estate or the 2-door E30 BMW that isn't an Escort or an Orion?

I can't tell. Photos giving me neck ache looking at it. Was the cvh I noticed first. Didn't click there was 2 cars after 4 artoris last night. Want both of them now tho.

It was a 1.6 CVH IIRC. Body was actually really solid in most places, it had been nicked that's why it was there. It had some old school Escort hubcaps in there as well. Be a good source for cutting out some sections if your car is rotten.

 

Mk2 golf Auto in there too.

They were the type with the plain centre, with small slats around the circumference, I'd say 13 inch diameter. I'll have a pike next time I'm in.
