Just went to scrapyard to get some rear seats as I was sick of the cally leather squeaking whenever I went over bumps in the road etc.

Got some nice looking interior, backrest and bench for £10, coppergrease for £3 and while I was in the scrappy I found some brand new locking nuts and locking key

Anyone else had some good finds or owt in a scrappy?

I went with a mate once, wanted Corsa stalks for his Nova. Found a merit one without rear wash wipe which was quite rare and what he wanted. He threw it over the fence thinking it was a bargain, went outside and couldn't find it on the pavement. Looked further away and he had thrown it in to the middle of the road and it was smashed to bits.
