Scrap yard Blue’s

[eddyr]

Today I went to the Vaal to a scarp yard to go and source some parts for some of my cars.. Well sad to see all the VW there... About 8 split busses, 2 varaints, about 20 beetle"s

Thanks for the pics Eddy, any more pics of the split busses, I can see a late German split and a Fleetline bus and perhaps a panel van, any earlier busses ? Whats the story there, that lot seems to have been there forever and rusting in peace ?

[jolas]

Hells bells, that blue Fleetline bus appears to be on top of another split bus which has completely collapsed under the weight ? Or is it just part of another bus lying there ?

I didn’t take allot of pics (stupid me) But there’s allot of busses. Some even with engines in. Couple of panel vans (splits) there is a German and Brazilian bus and I think it had all the windows. The variants, complete cars. The bodies of the busses was long gone... but there parts glass and bits and pieces. There 1 Bay single cab with perfect sides and hinges, just need and motor

I've been to that scrap yard a few times the past 5 years. In my experience, the owners are a bunch of very unfriendly people who are convinced that every single part in that scrap yard is worth its weight in gold, and price it accordingly

All the 'good' stuff is anyway gone years ago, and the air pollution of the nearby ISCOR (MITTAL?) plant has caused severe acid rain in the general vanderBijlpark/Sasolburg area, and resulted rust on the wrecks that is worse than you would find at the coast. Go have a look yourself, but in my opinion not even worth going through the trouble

What pine said
I used to go there at least twice a week and everytime the price was different and way more than what I was willing to pay.

There are 2 Squarebacks - the '68 burnt (presumably the reason it ended up there in the 1st place) and there isn't much left of the '69 MT either.
