So the '77 is progressing nicely and we're going to see it next week, it needs a new drivers door unfortunately. And of course, the Neon is going nicely after doing a lot of miles lately, with even more to come. Really need to sort that damn handbrake...

Don't you just love it when you have something big to go down the tip but can't find a way, then just when you are about to call someone to take it, a nice man in a tipper truck knocks the door and asks if he can take it! Lovely

well if you see my rebuild thread, i have bought the back end of a cooper to split up for panels. By the time i was finished, i was just left with the rotten floor and rear arches. I'm looking after my mum's house at the moment and she said that she put her old washing machine out the front to arrange collection and when she looked a few minutes later it was gone so i thought why not?! Slung it out by the bins and this morning away it went. And yes i believe he was a pikey

I'd be careful using people like that if I were you, I had my boiler done not long ago, they asked the plumber for the boiler which they took, i came home just as they had my bike coming out the front garden and another one of them walking round my house! my bike got stolen a few weeks later..

it'l be ok. The scrap was out the front of the house and the only way to get into the rear is through a strong door in a high wall or through the house. Think he is just trying to make a few quid and i expect he is the same bloke who took scrap from here before. He seemed quite respectable and polite not the typical rough lot.

I know some people struggle but I can't comprehend getting myself into a situation where I'd have to use one of these companies and then worry every time the postman turned up.

Any other car this rotten would look horrific. Why as its a mini is it kind of endearing? :-)
