Well, I had my camera out with me to photo some stuff for amate of a mate who wants it shoving on eBay so I shot some pics of some other stuff which was in my mates yard and next door at the time. Not great spots but I liked them & thought I'd share 
There were also a lot of abandonned looking J-tin but later models, about the same age as the Mazda so I didn't photo them. Y'all know what a 1992 Maxima looks like? Ditto a Primera. Looked like graveyard of ther Minicabs....
Anyway...
A sneaky plug first, this is going on eBay shortly. LHD Westfalia Multivan
a ropey XJS
x2
Interesting camper conversion...
an old (c.1950) Reliant delivery van, or the remains of...
which will be rebuilt into something like this...
Apparently the company which shares the yard has a nice line in these conversions, there were a couple more on site but I couldn't get to them without trespassing. They fabricate stainless steel stuff as a day job.
This very tidy MGB was just boxed in by a bunch of other vehicles (Mostly Mk6 Escort Vans, Renault Espace etc)
A mate's project MGB GT
Nice little Mini in for some work
Another mate's new toy (non retro but check those bring rims! B'jesus!)
Under the tarp is an early Volvo P1800.
There used to be an old Lotus but I couldn;t see it yesterday when I called.
After all that I gave the Mazda a proper clean up. Sadlyy the photos I took don;t really show up how ingrained the grime was before, nor how nice it looks after, but hopefuly you'll get the idea...
This is before:
Mirrors with cobwebs, leaves trapped under the bonnet etc.
Washed it, clay bar'd it, hit it with Farecla G10 (some areas needed G3 to get marks off and scratches out) its still not perfect as a lot of the marks are too deep, but hey, it was free and its 13 years old.
Then I finished it off with Imperial Handglaze and it looks lovely.
Took about 4 hours!
