i love scrapyards

sam went to our local and found a d reg 5 door which he promptly told me about, so i go and visit one day after work and find the most retro interior ive ever seen lol cue i want :d. so i set about removing the important bits like heater vent, clock and fog light blanks from the brown dash, the passenger mirror blank :cool: and undid all the dash board ready for the trip back to completely strip it.

so i went back friday in the van and arranged for sam to meet me there, i quite litterally took the whole interior plus the proper mint early tailgate, one piece front bumper and carb.

anywho

i set it all out lol

the red one isn't the track saloon, the blue one is. i just like to abuse the red one and thrashing it round a track seemed a good way to abuse it

Got phonecall last night from a friend who's dad owns local scrap merchants. He told me nova came in so I went to have a look today and is a minter. Shell is solid everywhere other then one small patch back of sill, done 60,000 or there abouts. Only problem is it was a mk2 j reg 1.2 so nothing on it I want/need other then the shell but they can't let that go once booked in. If I have time and it hasn't been prossessed I might go cut rear quarters off :s and grab the boot.
