Abandoned shite

Proper manky 944 s2 in Leicester. No-one knows who owns it but some iffy looking bodyshop very close by probably knows. No plates... hmm...

This sad looking Vauxhall Chevette is rusting away near me, last Mot expired in 2010.  Front wings have tape repairs and the roof has rust spots too.

 

If the one @DodgyBastard slaved over was anything to go by there won't be anything left underneath.

Is that a fuse box between the headlights?

It's the later 944 air filter housing - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164240816796 Two on Fleabay @ £100 each currently. Been looking, now and then, for a 944/924 as an occasional jolly car but the current prices are silly - that one is probably worth a few bob even as 'barn find project'

The fuse box is in the boot on these, as I recall. Looks like an airfilter, but I am not sure. 

Might go back and have a poke, the scrotey-looking place nearby who I suspect dumped it probably want £££ for it. No plates makes me think it's nicked. Been there since 2021 according to street view.

In fairness it's probably doing better than some as least it's not been left on grass, but I'm not sure I'd want to jack it up and find out!!

BEST AS THREAD OF ALL TIME!

And I promise I'm not saying that because I have a winch equipped Transit recovery truck, an elastic moral compass and a scrappy on speed dial who avoids asking difficult and probing questions.

Me and Rodders went a different route on our morning stroll today and stumbled across these. Apologies for shit pics but there were other dog walkers nearby and I didn’t want to look suspicious!

 

I’d love to know the story, they’re just outside a load of council/retirement bungalows in a cul de sac .

Sly nocturnal Swansea spot. Looked tidy but had a missing passenger seat. 24 hrs doesn’t seem like much notice to get it shifted before it’s crushed.

I wonder what the story is here, neighbours must be very tolerant, unless they are too aged and infirm to care. Like getting away with swearing because you have a posh voice, can you get away with having posh rammel?

p.s. Rodders is a great name.
