View Full Version : Went for a mince in a scrapyard today.....
Went to Youpullit today to see what bits and bobs were there, and saw a random stripped (and very very rotten) calypso red GTE down a side track just outside....

Really dont know why its there, my guess is its possibly stolen and abandonned....
So once inside we found a stunning corsa with a right cool sticker on the bumper corner.....

Then off to a local scrapyard afterwards to find this poor looking thing squished...

get out of jackos :) i had the slabs off that cav sri and some bits out of the nova,
that kadet is very fast, not sure whats in it though
Kadette is on ATS wheels, similar to brettski's only the straight spoke version, id love to go back and raid the window surrounds and a few other bits off that GTE but some guy that looked like an extra from the film wrong turn appeared and we didnt hang around too long lol
Lol @ mark, first time ive ever been let in jackos he never normally lets people in from what ive heard, boo at you raiding that SRi poor thing and i reckons that Kadette is possibly a let:thumb:

As you drive into youpullit near York there is like an industrial estate next to it and its down there, its visable from the road as you drive in!

Go and salvage everything off the GTE before it gets crushed.
Ex cop car with police aware sticker?
We have a winner, surely the feds knew it had been crashed as they crashed it lol
Bet that GTE is stolen an dumped tbh
Thats my thinking behind it tbh mike, the wierd guy asked if we wanted to buy it as he wanted it shifting, i thought im not paying for it but there are a few bits could be saved though!
LEWI, the GTE posibly wont be getting crushed as its not actually in the scrapyard its just abandonned near the entrance road!

Local scrappy to me keeps Nova's for about a year or so - Just crushed one not that long ago with 15k on the clock...Long before this scrappage scheme nonsense...
Another local scrappy has a 1.5 Nova D in as well...Don't think it's a TD anyway
If you go back Spud will you get a price on that Cav spoiler please as rumour has it they fit a saloon
I like going to the import breakers in Birmingham TBH, much better looking at smashed up Jap imports then old skool british things lol
Whats sad about some old dog cav in the scrappy :p :p lol
go back and get me that GTE rear bumper spud - your breakfast depends on it ;) lol

landy probably on scrapage they have an mgbgt on website too with no damage
Yeah a white one in for whole car breaking, such a shame but at least the parts will help others live on rather than just get squished!

Physically, yes; a hatchback exhaust will fit a saloon. Although the tailpipe may come up short, so will be very noisy from inside.
