It fell into lots of bits today Neil -FireKraka wrote:Least it didn't fall in half this time Blacky![]()


Brodie offered to weld the dodgy dolly under the front half as it’s going off to visit a fabricator for a bit - his welding is terrible, he insists it’s terrible because I was winding the wire speed up and down while he was doing it but I think that’s a classic case of a poor tradesman blaming his tools




This bit is off to the scrappies on Tuesday

So many cars so little time!
Re: Here comes another one ……
They are not rusty believe it or not - they are going to be used as a template to hopefully make reproduction onesEK283 wrote: Sun Jan 25, 2026 9:13 am

Re: Here comes another one ……
Damn this thing was hard work - every bolt and screw siezed, some of the doors wouldn’t open etc
Motor and box came out easy, had the car chained to the trailer and just skull dragged the bastard out



Getting the front end out took some doing, the bolt heads were totally rusted, managed to get 3 of the nuts off but had to cut part of the subframe off to get the last one out after it siezed and started spinning with about 3 threads left to come off
Ready for scrap on Tuesday- there is still a couple of good bits on it but I am sick of the sight of it
