I used to do that as well but all the scrap yards near me have closed now, the nearest one they go and take the part off for you.


Nice bit of shelving there Punts, I could do with re doing mine as I didn't really think about it when I made them so nothing really has it's own place

Same round here, you rarely get to go into the yard, they take the bits off and charge a fortune for them :(

Old days you could go in and help yourself, (even sneak the odd part in your toolbox).

Nearest one like that now is 30 miles away :(
T330 RWD now sold
Ford Ranger Wildtrack now sold

MI 5 sacked me from my job as an interrogator this morning, didn't like to ask why :?

Found the little inverter really handy, so swapped it out for a 500w instead :D
Refitted my rear speakers to the new bulkhead and I've now got my cat1 alarm up and running :D

Bonnet switch and intrusion sensors too :D

Wires wires wires!

Then even managed the software install myself too( with a litte guidance) :D and a shiny new vcmii

Apparently normal, if a bit scary :?

But all good now

Then had a play with the new toy

:D

Well, I've only gone and bought a tailgate for it :D

Won't get it for a couple of weeks but should be a fun job doing the conversion :D
