mate of mine got caught by the owner. He threw a full interior over the fence, paid for few bits and left. Only problem was the field owner rode past on her horse, stopped, phoned the owner who came down with his grease monkey. Was told to hand over his cash or was getting a beating. Technically its robbery, but better than a shoeing. Think my mate had £100 on him. Told the bloke had £50, handed it over, took the interior and left sharpish! Think he got a good deal as the bloke had wanted £100 for the interior anyway!!

I remember being a wee nipper and going to the scrappie with my dad for mini bits for his sprint hillclimb mini. He always got me to carry his toolbox. I could never understand why it seemed heavier on way out than it did on way in!!

25 quid for electric door motors and everything need to convert and the drivers door card  Most places wanted 30 quid just for the motors and wouldn't split the door.
One place round here wanted 135 quid for a p reg fiesta bootlid lol me and my mate thought he was taking the piss at first

Found a chavved up fiesta, unfortunately one of the M3 mirrors had come off in the crash but managed to get the h4 bulbs out.
Laguna splitters,
Vw splitters,
Espace splitters,
tbh my scrappies abit shite for stuff. But few corsa' there so managed to get some interior pieces out and spare bulbs if needed.

Think my best scrappy find, was a drivers door for my old corsa. Same colour, matchimg door card and no damage. That was a complete win. Almost made up for the fact my car was broken into.
