Just a celebratory thread really 
Went this morning to get an mfd screen as i "re-made" mine into a few different bits 
Spent ages hunting then i came across something which made me smile so much
Set of depo headlights, in good condition no brackets snapped and sat there winking at me. So they were removed from donor car and taken to the stores to buy.
On the way i went past the wheels section, spotted a cesaro out the corner of my eye. Went over for a closer look, cogs ticking thinking if i can get the wheel cheap enough i'd buy it to sell, then saw another and another.
Dissappointed i wandered off at only 3 wheels, then i saw a cavalier with 1 cesaro on 
Wheels came in at a shocking £40!!! And they're all in excellent condition without any major kirbing 
Happy days

Thirded.
Just the other week there I went to get a Cav arb to try this thing DaveB did to modify it to fit a corsa. Up to the window, ask how much to the guy that's sitting absolutely steaming in the office. '20 quid' he says, I said I wasn't wanting to spend more than a tenner and all he says is '20 quid'.
Complete and utter whopper of a wank.

Browsing at a scrappy is a small pleasure in life

When I went to one by mine, I wandered in, they didn't say anything had a look around couldnt find what I wanted so went over to ask. He found the bumbers I needed, the crash bar/rad was still attached to the front one and the bolts were rounded off so I got the crashbar/rad for free. Mind you it was a proper scrappy, oil everywhere, burning tyres off wheels

Our locals great, just go in and have a mooch, if you like something, whip it off and go and pay. Sound lads in there too and they bought a vending machine off us too so extra brownie points there

I just picked up a cointray, tigra scuttle panel and a cav mk3 rear roll bar for £10. I know the bloke who owns it from years of buying corsa bits.I thought that was a bargain
