ahh the trudge through the car graveyard, little else stirs the soul!

Anyway, todays haul, a total of £15

Image

not everything is in the pic so heres the rundown.

nearly new battery (£10)
lights on buzzer
laguna rear seat belt trim
ph2 light backing thingy
rear squirter nozzle
16V badge
chamade boot latch trim surround
2 x rear door light nipples

laguna bit has been clipped in

exec rear squirter is now sorted and the headlight cover which was from a 1.4 and needed modding is now fitted (need a new side light bulb, its silvered over)

Blue chamade has the nice trim fitted round the latch now.

new battery is on charge (only battery there above 10V, lowest was 1.96V)

white chammy has the nipples fitted so the rear doors now make the interior lights come on.

lights on buzzer is to be fitted to the red 1.4.

Couldn't get a starter heatshield, every car I looked at had them ripped off! Apart from a laguna disel, couldn't get my hand anywhere near it never mind see it!

How much of that was smuggled out Wink

I do remember once trying to be charged £5 just for the radio wiring loom - which I gladly paid due to my pockets and socks being stuffed full of everything else I wanted Embarassed
