Ah... Best stress relief ever...! take one axe, one 4ft long breaker bar and one rotten nova sprinkle over with a subtle blend of extreme violence and anger for best results:  |

* Too much free time dept. I can remember doing that to a two-door Mark 2 Cortina back in the early/mid 80's because no-one at that time wanted them, and it was in the way. Plus at that time one of my mates lived on a council estate with a gravel drive running along the back of the gardens, countless Mk1 Escorts and Minis met their maker along there (including a GENUINE 1966 997 Cooper that we used to terrorise the local schoolgirls in once we'd....ahem....cut the roof off). Hard to believe now, but 25 years ago stuff like that was bin fodder if it was in rough shape.  |

Nice lol What's the reason for scrapping it? It looks fairly solid from those pics My thoughts too, but I'm sure there're reasons. Quite fancy doing one myself one day, although a mate once intended to do this to a hanging late '70's Mustang with a large sledgehammer and barely made a dent in it! (He couldn't even smash the rear screen and he wasn't slightly built!!!) |

Its been in a field for a few years and its absolutely knackered. We managed to save all the decent bits so at least its been put to good use.

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

Me and a mate did the same thing to a Mk3 XR3i when we were about twelve.... fairly late model one I think, my mate's older brother had bought it after it had been crashed with just rear panel damage and stripped all the XR goodies off plus engine for his 1300 Mk3. So we were left with a shell with doors and glass, suspension and steelies and we went nuts with scaffold tubes, paving slabs, an axe and anything else we found in the shed.
Makes me quite upset to think that with a new rear panel it would have been a lovely car!

Scrap yards all over the place and no1 wanted things like minis so all youths had them as were cheap as chips and could easily mod them |
