  • New MK1 at Centre Road wreckers.

    Fairly complete at the moment.

    Beige, 4 door LS pollution 1600, 4 speed, stock as a rock. Most panels salvageable.

    Cracked dash. Cluster indicating 200.000 but trip meter is on 00000 and we all know that means the odo doesn't work either.

    Thanks for that Pete.

    Might come in useful of our little makeover for the mk1.

          Tailgate rooted around lock area, major, srewdriver attack. I didn't look too hard at the pillars, but don't recall any rust there.

          1/4's are OK. All doors except passenger rear need minor scrapes and dings removed. Passenger rear is pristine.

                Man, that would be amazing!
                I'll try and get there this Saturday I think.
                I'll call them tomorrow to check they'll be there.

                If they're not I may just take you up on that offer!
                Thanks a heap for the offer at least. I'll let you know.

                  They'll be there. It's a pretty well organised operation.

                    I already looked that up Pete!
                    Thanks though.

                    I won't have a problem getting there.
                    I'll call them tomorrow and try to find out what they want for the parts.
                    You have a rough idea?

                      gaurd is like 40 or 50 from memory
                      they aren't the cheapest, but sometimes you can reason with them, cause they aren't exactly popular parts

                        Replacing what I need to will save me a fair bit of work I reckon.
                        I might have to learn to haggle on the spot then!

                            Had a look myself early this morning, and got a few bits and pieces off it...looks like a car well serviced car that was perhaps subject to a break-and-enter in the back streets of Doncaster.

                            If anyone wants any bits, drop me a line, as I'm heading back next Sat. to get a couple of Suby bits with my old man...anyone want a cheap runabout?1990 Subaru Leone Royale with approx. 100k klms FSH (5 spd.

                              I missed you Mark! I headed up and checked it out today too, hoping to save myself some paintwork.
                              The scrape along the side isn't dissimilar to what my car would've looked like before a dodgy repair.

                              I didn't grab anything, so a waste of a massive drive.
                              What bits did you grab Mark? Timing belt cover, grill and headlights, bonnet etc?
