Looked like good crack lads! I love the scrappys lol
It's amazing what you can find :D
damn our scrappys dont let us go look at the cars, they get a fork lift and bring the certain car over, and you have to tell them what you want off it, and they get it :( were not allowed to run around like that lol. like the hi-viz jackets we have to wear to :P
We beet the hell out of this one robbed some other bits from the van aswell as rob the wiper linkage from a zx.
Happy days
Also how long did it take to get the steering wheel off.
I think it was a hole 3 mins and the included you going back and getting the 22mm socket lol.
Wow a pair of novas in a scrappy thats a rare find, id be lucky to find a "nova" badge in a scrappy nevermind a full nova, btw random fact but that dead and rotten van is originally from hull "KH" on the reg is a hull reg mark lol
And pete the picture of you with the glove box and dash, thats proper mincing:thumb:
No that was just pete being normal.
I will get him to try better next time lol

early style tailgate on a k reg :confused:
is it not a private plate? or did some come with 6 numbers/letters?
They started off with five then six and then seven as the numbers went up, so there will be K1 OKH somewhere all through to K999 OKH probably!
Awesome, a Dawoo mitiz. Score.
