salvage yards.
« on: 26 June 2013, 08:08 »
Ok as some may have seen my post in the correct place now (wanted) lol. Im after a damaged car for my project. Now theres copart ebay and gumtree. Only problem with copart is that the bids go realy high (spoke to a mate who has biught a van and a few cars from there) he says the europeans make the bids very high so they get the car. Now i want to know where else could i look for a golf mk4 1.8t??

What you doing, engine going in the mk3 and selling off the rest of the mk4 to pay towards the conversion?

Find a tatty running Golf4, or one that's been smacked up the backside.

Buy the whole car, remove what you want, weigh the shell in.

Don't p*ss about in scrapyards for that sort of thing, unless you have a good relationship with them already.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I dont know of any scrappies that WONT rip my ar5ehole apart. Been looking on copart (thats the only one i know of)
If people come across a mk4 with agu rear end damage or light front end damage please let me know by pm.
I am keeping an eye out but no luck yet. Seen 1 on copart but its miles away (doncaster)
I dont want a mk4 with bits missing of it.
Thing is i dont know were else to look for a mk4 agu. Been on ebay and gum tree.

Money is all ready. Just need the car now lols
