Scrappy

Postby BigMonty » Wed Feb 01, 2012 2:36 pm

Working back at the scrap yard near Cambridge this week. Plenty of smileys in. One is a turbo and runs like a watch. MK1 camper in a bit of a state and 2 MK2 campers, one drove in and is just out of test. Can get more info if it is any help to anyone.

Was my last day there for a month or so today as I have some of my own work come up.
Its a bit of an old school scrappy. You paddle throu the mud and take the parts off yourself.
As of tonight he is breaking
Smilies
LWB high top Turbo Diesel
2x LWB Di. Good back doors on both and a good rear bulk head in one
2x SWB Di. ( didnt look at them )
1x MK1 Camper ( nose was being taken off today )
1x MK2 camper ( good doors, bonnet etc )
He also has a Mk2 Camper, and 2 MK5s that are too good to break.

Cant help with any more info for a week or so But I can keep you'all updated if you like.
If you want anything give the yard a ring.

( the real pisser is they have NONE of the parts I need )

Been over at the scappy today to drink their coffee. They have 6 mk6's in at the moment. 5 vans and a tipper. Couple looked pretty good if anyone needs any spares.
