Worth while trip to Leicester

Hi,

Noticed the other week a standard Nissan Sunny in a scrappy on eBay, emailed the chap asking what bits were left on it, to my amazmement still in one piece couldnt get down there last weekend, so popped down this morning to find it was still all there.  He left me too it to get what I needed:

Full dashboard
Trim around radio
Door Seals
Two parts either side of parcel shelf complete with factory fitted speakers!! plus loom didnt need them, but as they had the speakers factory fitted thought why not!
Rear side windows trim pieces (only needed clips)
standard rear lights with bulb tray and loom (internal fog light)
door bump strips and quarter panels
all bulbs out of clocks (put them in the wifes handbag)
Dip stick (dont ask!)
both front Indicators
Lower dash trim pieces (mine have various holes from bits being attached when in japan)

all that for £80    now the reason I got carried away was, the car was absolutely spotless! it only had 51k on the clock, even standard radio with code in nissan folder with log book and car owners manual, body work is immaculate, only problem being is theres two cars stacked on top now  electric sun roof but wind up windows  looks like is was only just serviced as well brand new dizzy and leads, oil cap clean as a whistle.  I wanted the windscreen wiper pivot mount drivers side, but suffered the same fate as mine bottom bolt rusted to hell and cant remove without damaging plastic bracket behind, £51 from nissan it is then





Was going to get a few more bits but got them from Bob the other week, only noticed last week that I had a small crack starting to appear in my dash when I was up in the house loft, the dash I got today is like brand new!!

Half the house loft is taken over with pretty much two sets of interior now thankfully she never goes up there!

Its always good when they let you get on with it.
Most of the places around here ask what you want and they get it for you.
I like to have a tat around when i go to a scrapyard.

Another guy working there came over after a while and looked a bit taken back that I'd manged to strip pretty much the whole interior out in a short time

Came away with a Mk6 Golf wing mirror complete unit, heated and tilt down when in reverse, as the Mrs hit a van weeks ago and destroyed it, got that for £40 so happy with that as all other ones Ive priced up are around £70 mark

Did pretty much the same a few months back as my local scrappy leaves you too it and i got almost the same stuff you did lol.

Ive got my spare room full of pulsar parts plus two sheds i need to sell loads of stuff to make room as i cant move for parts seems like a few of us are hoarders lol ....

You lot certainly sound that way lol

internal & external door handles is a good one to grab as well . loads of clips & bits & of coarse the rear fog light switch. Do love a good scrap yard trip :-)

Johnny you are top of the hoarders list ...

I don't know what makes you say that sir ?

Hey I have sold and gave away some of my parts to help a local member. It's good to help someone but it hurts inside ha ha

johnny that is the first step in accepting your problem

You travelled to my neck of the woods and didn't come to see me !!!! I'm insulted lol but a seriously good find there

^ err.....sorry mate i blame to wife for rushing me and wanting to get back She moans when I dont take her out, so took her to the scrappy and she still moaned Cant win sometimes!
