I imagine you should be able to pick up replacement panels at council fridge recycling depot

edited for accuracy.

I imagine you should be able to pick up replacement panels at any motor factor.

I seem to think there was one in a scrap yard this year or last with a pic posted up on here?

There was- a 6-wheeled version, Milford Cubicle posted it. I think the eBay one does have all its panels and windows though, just not attached to the car.

£6.50 a week for a council garage here.... can't imagine it being hugely more wherever you are. Next excuse? :wink:

When I applied for a council lock up I got one within the week, it's not like applying for a council house (applied in 1991, still waiting).

My council garage in Brum was free. They were chuffing useless but eventally I managed to get one. Then they seemed to lose all my address details for it, so they never charged me. I did get an unfriendly sticker on the garage one day months later, so vacated it...

Brammy, you could get a garage in Black Dam (not the worst area of Basingstoke by a long shot) for £35 a month, get on it.

£250 is seriously tempting money for that Talbot. If I hadn't just bought the Alpine I'd be making the trip to The Bunker I reckon.

Forgive my ignorance here - been out the country for too long. What's the procedure for these council garages? Any criteria to be met etc? I'd be well up for one or more. Then I can justify buying something utterly stupid.

 

This is close to Norfolk's best but least friendly chippy. Belong in the Ebay bargains thread probably.

Well I just phoned the guy at the housing association (the council by another "independent" name), and asked them. They sent me a short form, all you do is list what you want to put in ('old car tat') and tick the box saying you won't use it for commercial use or be a pain in the arse, return the form and collect some keys.

You just apply for one I think. They are only supposed to be for storage and there will be a list of rules as long as your arm but they are unlikely to be enforced if you keep a low profile and pay the rent. I'm not sure if you have to be a local resident but it shouldn't be too hard to get somebody else to apply for you.

YES! I've got a dangly mirror, gonna fit it to my truck.

Get rid of the passenger mirror too! I'd love it if you produced a Sierra P100 BASE. Do it!
