Title: todays scrapyard bargain!!
Post by: re2 on 16 May 2009, 19:26

I went to the local scrappy to see if i could find anything useful- particularly a mk2 small red stripe bumper. I was having a nose around a D plate Golf GTD and I couldnt beleive my eyes when I looked inside!!!!!!!  It had rear headrests!!! Ive been after these for donkeys years and they had always eluded me because of the cost. Id even collected spare headrest covers many many years ago! Anyway, £10 later and they were mine!

Well happy!

Actually, saying that, I think it was a black one he was trying to get an engine mount off of for me a few months ago (remember I told ya bout that G60 one I took back to GSF??) If it's that one, it's got another car on top of it

the engine was out already

ive found many things over the last 6 years and ended up selling most when times were hard, or i changed my mind on the final spec. Ive been lucky and found much on the average dubbers wish list
