Post by: Mew on 07 January 2008, 22:23: I think a list of scrapyards in the area would be good and also whether or not they are any good. I had so much hassle trying to find scrappies around Oxford when i first moved here, and only recently have i found a half decent one that isn't run by a pikey. :smiley:

Maybe a stickied topic in the garage or the good guys section where you can just put the details of the scrappy?

Post by: rockhopper on 08 January 2008, 16:03: yes just a quick post if you come across anything usefull to others when you are trawling your local scrapyard.

Post by: Ashmond on 08 January 2008, 16:10: There are loads of scrap yards around my way that do vw but after the last 10 months of phoning around I have narrowed it down to two places, they are top notch. The first one is better for mk4 bits if im honest, but the second guy is good for mk2's and mk3's!

The V.W Yard

Hi mate

Post by: tobz. on 10 January 2008, 12:04: The one in mildenhall is down beck row, round the back near the pikey area!!!
Watch out for the guy who runs it though (scarface) he's a complete @rse.

I assume we are both talking about the aussie guy, what's your experience with him twin?

Post by: Andy! on 14 January 2008, 21:40: Aussie? Thought he was a pikey!
Red lodge is usually bare of pre 90s dubs but is certainly a friendly place to get some sh!t for your ride
