Anyone who refers to a mk2 Megane as the "shake yer arse car" is alright by me.

But it can be a bit too much "old skool" fun - trying to take off a Focus door mirror while He operates a crane with a car attached swinging over your head held by chains (and leaking residue petrol at the same time) is the best incentive to hurry up than any Time Saved Bonus Scheme I've ever been on.

[monza]

what Scirocco parts are you after omegod?

It's pretty much sorted now Monza but if there s rear wiper arm and a 5 spd gear knob i'd make use of them

Or when it's a LWB tranny on a single chain and he fecks off for his dinner leaving it creaking n swinging over where you are working, had a couple of injuries there, zafira hatch slammed shut on my fingers, very meek shout for help , walked into a random piece of angle iron near scalping myself , needless to say he doesn't have a first aid kit

If the stock doesn't get you, the mudpits and rats will..

 

I keep a special pair of designated "Mally Boots" in the car at all times in case I have to visit - the terrain is the same all year round, it never dries out.

My Dad and I have Mally boots!! Hahaha!!

Was a lad killed In a yard down Devon way a couple of years back. He was inside a transit that got picked up by the grab on a 360 digger. What a way to go

[tooSavvy]

^^^^ ... taking a dump, as he disliked the bosses 'new' square dunney?

Your life expectancy goes down dramatically when you start work in a scrap yard. If my boss told me to start taking a gearbox out with the car rested on a scissor jack and some bricks I'd tell him to fuck right off.

You've not lived till you've cut straps off a petrol tank with a sthilly

I've been in addymans in Knaresborough this afternoon looking for an idol control valve for my fiesta.

 

Some lovely old shite in there. Pick of them been a lovely old landcrab and an xjs that looked like it had lived under a tree for 20 year.

 

Well worth a lookin if your passing

 What sort of shape is the Crab in? Is it an Austin, Morris or Wolseley?

[Guest bangerfan101]

Crab was a full car that hadn't been touched. Think it was a wolsely but not 100% sure. I'm just going by the front grille

Be handy is it was a Wolseley. I might have to go check it out as I'll no doubt need some bits to get my heap though it's test shortly.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Oooh I want a crab

Off topic, sorry, but does your fiesta wheeze like a 60-a-day asthmatic when you pull up? Mine was doing that, and I was wondering. It's in Banger-Racing Heaven now so it's just for me to know!

[Guest bangerfan101]

Not idling when it's cold. Nothing there at all when you first start it. I've been sat with it reving about 3000rpm to get some life into her

 

Much to the annoyance of my Mrs an next-door. Fuck em

[Ratdat]

Oooh I want a crab

 

I got one with a little patina* which I might well flog soon. 

[nigel bickle]

Mr Bollox wants crabs? Did I read that right?

[Guest bangerfan101]

I've heard about lay-bys in Retford were that sort of shit is guaranteed.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Mrs Crab is always harping on that she would like an old car instead of her 54-plate Fiesta - a Land crab would be the perfect match for her, she could paint a picture of a crab on the bonnet and everything.

Fourthded. Love that place, spent too much time in there climbing over stuff and under things.

Part Alert: if anyone spies a front N/S indicator for a '93 Shitroen AX.......... 

[Guest bangerfan101]

Crabs still their in addymans. Up on the racks looking almost complete, less it's wheels.

 

Piggotts in strencell near York must have a pile 10 deep 10 high at the minute. A thing to behold

 I might go check this out in the morning. Just fettling mine for it's test now so a few bits and pieces would be most welcome. Any idea what colour interior was in it?

[ruffgeezer]

Can anyone local to wades see if the Datsun is still the please? Road trip in order if so.

 

@Ratdat Am I right in saying that it should have front discs that'll fit the estate?

The brakes won't go onto the 1200 struts so you'd want the complete struts with the bottom arms to swap onto a 1200. 

[Guest bangerfan101]

No idea on the interia. I quickly liberated an expansion bottle for swmbo mk6 fiesta on my dinner break then hot footed it for a swift pint of Sam Smiths before returning to work. Late
