Surprised to see that 2-door Rangie in a breakers. It looks entirely repairable, and they are worth reasonable money these days.

[treehugger]

All look perfectly roadworthy, lol.

[timolloyd]

That's not too far from me. Are they OK for people to turn up and have a mooch about (on the assumption they buy something)?

[stephen01]

Cars 3 high and you can walk around the yard! Fantastic. Been ages since i visited a yard.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Did they have any mk1 or 2 Fiestas?

"My " car was 3 high, I said i'd like it on the deck please  , so i'll come tomorrow . £10 deposit to make sure i was gunna come ,fair enough innit ?  ...Today its on the deck on pile of tyres as promised   ..the lads helped me take a door off too  .Well ,I helped him .   A mint Astra mk3 whole door, lec winda, cent locking 35 , mint wing 20 , arch liner 10,  4 wheel trims and 2 mud flaps 10 the lot . And the right colour to boot !!!!!

Wow, a Talbot Horizon and a K plate Renault 25. Late registration madness strikes again.

Been through Hawkhurst twice today, going back Monday and Tuesday - I'll make a detour and see if they have any transit parts.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Talbot Horizon in a scrapyard. Great spot!

[Squire_Dawson]

Aggy Mk. 3 looks solid.

[Sudsprint]

I would worry about anyone who didn't yearn to spend two hours just wandering around that scrapyard.

[Christine]

As i sat waiting at the traffic lights to get back on the A21....

 

Ceramic tiles that said     Electricity Supply Company

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[purplebargeken]

[Christine]

[stuboy]

not been scrappers for about 4 years

[AlabamaShrimp]

I did talk about mk1 fiestas... he has a tailgate , last mk1 went some months ago he said .

Bugger I need those window bits... Anyway are you getting the tailgate? If not how much is it? Saying that it'd be a git to get up here.

[Christine]

What bits ?  Drop glass weather seals?

 

Have a pic of mine on its whopping  145 x 12's!

 

[MorrisItalSLX]

Is that a Lancia Delta?

 

Probably plenty of valuable bits on that puppy.

[AlabamaShrimp]

It's the bits of rubber that withe window runs in on the quarter light

 

 

Should be a red bit round it.

 

I've split mine closing the door with the window open.

It’s a very good scrappy I lived in Hawkhurst for about 12 years and it was also a good place for a cheap banger with a bit of ticket as they sell a few cheap motors from time to time.

 

Years ago the scrappy would advertise recon engines in the exchange and Mart and the amount of people that would ask for directions and when you told them it’s the scrappy down the lane no one would believe you.

 

I bought an engine for a polo off them and it was a brilliant engine it didn’t use a drop of coolant and oil.

 

Also Rootes started up in Hawkhurst so for that reason alone it should be a Shiters paradise maybe that’s why the Talbot chod is in the scrappy.

It looks like it's been rolled at least once...

 

Spanish (Alicante...?) plates on the SEAT Terra in the last pic.
