Supernaut Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Today, Tayne took me to a scrap yard to hunt for parts for ruffgeezer's Datsun estate. I took lots of photos, and so did he. Time for a little game. What was this once a part of? We were stumped. Spottedlaurel, Richard, drum and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm not sure, but that's a Stomil tyre on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Feels like the rear of a Volvo 760 saloon. Or a Nissan Bluebird. Maybe. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Not a Volvo, too much slope at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think the silver bit's off a late 80s Bluebird or Mazda 626. Where is the field of dreams? Is that how Rora looks these days? Or is it the one on the back road between BoD and Dyce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think the silver bit's off a late 80s Bluebird or Mazda 626. You're wrong on the Bluebird But may be correct with the Mazda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 I reckon it's the Mazda 626, it even has the same little vent things at the trailing edge of the rear window. Also, it was in neither location you suggested, Capree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Wow! Nissan 300C estate would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Wow! Nissan 300C estate would be my guess. Tayne got some photos of a really obscure Datsun estate while we were there. Not the one we were taking parts off for ruffgeezer either, it was a big'un instead! I'm hoping he adds his photos to this topic at some point later.

greengartside Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 What is that bumper off of thats lying under the little white Fiat? I'd guess at it being off a VW Polo, looks very similar. Liking the Sherpa photos, how much would the guy want for the wiper arms / blades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17-Coffees Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Going by both your photos, alot of the grass has been cut since I was there last July. Quite a few things could't be identified or reached it was that overgrown! Lovely place to have a walk around. Stuff from the 90's right back to one or two 30's/40's looking stuff! Did you find the Renault 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Not on this trip, nor previous. I've been in the depths of winter and much mire is visible when the grass in low but its so wet and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in the depths of winter and much mire is visible when the grass in low but its so wet and cold. It's up at the far end, hidden behind some random scrap and deep grass. had no idea what it was until I managed to peer inside and see the Renault badge on the steering wheel!
