I went scrounging for parts for the Opel restoration today.
In a most obscure scrapyard near Harties, I came upon two highlight bay bodies. Fairly decent with no major accident scars. Between the two of them, they had a set of perfect bumpers. I took some pictures, but my cellphone is not on speaking terms with my PC - so no pictures.
PM me if anybody is interested, as I might have to schlepp out that way again to go and pick at a GM Ranger carcass I had discovered there.

Brasilia Bus with tree growing through it (sorry, no IRS gearbox)
Almost got excited with this one for a moment...
A Bay for the Exporters!
Weird Boxer motor - Citroen?
Type 3 Squareback with rare over riders on bumpers... (sorry, BK - the chassis is almost non-existent, and it has a broken windscreen, although you might want to have a look at the interior - got some salvagable parts!
Some Type 4s (no engines, sorry!)
And the best for last!
WHEN was the last time you saw a ROLLS ROYCE on a scrapyard??

Re: Bay bumpers
Yup, thats the one.
I always find these old places fascinating. And I love the smell of old, dusty, oily parts .... (car parts,that is)
