Booth Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was browsing a scrappy near Whitchurch in Shropshire and found this Its only the NA one but I dont care this car does not belong here Some please go pick it up and give it to a proper home. In the same scrap yard I also found 2 Gen 5s, 1 Mk2 MR2 and a RX7 It does make me sad when I see nice perfomance cars sat in a yard rusting to death. Its not pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Alot of cars have been traded in as part of the scrappage scheme..I bet alot of good cars have been lost.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I believe that more or less a whole generation of cars were lost due to that f*cking stupid idea. Not handy for people that like a 2nd hand car of a certain vintage. And yeah, it's always sad to see cars like that in the scrappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Thats very near to Ian. He should pop and have a look. Might be some bits he can use on his red 165. Edited January 9, 2012 by Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm sure if its declared scrap. You can't do anything about it. Just strip for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 car can never be put back on the road, but scrappys keep them around for a bit to sell of parts, all scrap yards will sell you a complete car under the premise that it cannot be returned to the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepowerofdiesel Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Mr Furburs by chance? Did you get lost getting there I always seem to Ian has enough on his plate with his current project, rather have my 3S-GTE too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booth Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yeah it was at Furbers just outside whitchurch. There is so many cars there! Tis a shame to watch it rot, cant it at least be sent to a jap scrappy where it may get taken apart better and sold to the right person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepowerofdiesel Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Its nothing to what it used to be. Used to have cars stacked about 5 high and you had to just climb around trying to get what you want. Seen some rare stuff there over the years. Like you say such a shame for it to sit there it will likely sit there for another couple months they if they can be bothered then might rip the engine out though it on the pile with the rest and then crush the rest.

tabbaranx Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Such a shame. Apparently alot of the 80's Jap stuff that was in scrap yards up until about 5 years ago was crushed as it was worth more when the scrap metal prices went up. This is why you no longer see cars stacked up to 5 high in scrappys and one of the reasons I had to sell my 1985 Nissan Cherry Turbo, i needed some interior bits and bobs that were discontinued and I couldn't find ANY in the scrap yards, this was the reason I was given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin3df Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hang on, on this not been allowed to put a scrapped car back on the road: What's stopping you from buying the car, getting one which is already on the road which is in awful condition, completely stripping both and basically putting every single part off the scrapped car onto the chassis of the 'roadworthy' one? Won't it just work off the chassis number? Or have I completely missed the point? Granted what I describe is a hell of a lot of work, but you'd have to do some serious work to the car in the first post to get it restored like new anyway!

mrsoundcraft Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 That would be OK, and make a pretty good project, but if you decide to go a bit further and swap the shells over then you cant tell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzzzythedog Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 it cant be helped the wheels are off , this means it was picked up by a forklift and the wheels removed , the sills will be new and interesting shapes and the floor pan may also have a different aspect to toyotas ideas ,,,, sideways pin striping , the exhaust may also be donald ducked Hang on, on this not been allowed to put a scrapped car back on the road: What's stopping you from buying the car, getting one which is already on the road which is in awful condition, completely stripping both and basically putting every single part off the scrapped car onto the chassis of the 'roadworthy' one?
