took a trip down to a cracking yard today - david kelly's at legacy near (wait for it) rhosllanurchugog! ;D I was after a fuel pipe union for mc dizzy bedford rascal's minor, and a pedalbox for someone on the nsra site which I had forgotten about - oops!  abandon hope of not wanting a new project all ye who enter here! first thing was to find a minor - shouldn't be too difficult  ah - there's one  just clamber through the undergrowth  FAIL!!! ok, so no minor fuel pump bit (sorry billy!) - but let's find the hunter pedalbox - annoyingly I had one, but it was flung out of the lockup in an overenthusiastic tidy up session as I'd sold the hunter and he thought I had no use for it - doh! ah, there it is  only thing was, there was no renna on the roof last time I was in - oh well!  and, eventually off!  oooh - and what's this??  silvia turbot!! - result, and even more of a result when I found a full set of wheelnuts under the seat - and an armrest / centre console lid for me laurel - top! I'll upload the pics of the rest of the yard in a bit as yet again things are getting a bit slow on the old computer - kev |

Nice one Kev. I was only speaking to Dave Kelly the other day about taking some snaps for RR, but you have done it so great  This is my local yard and and I am spoilt as you can see from Kev's snaps  Well worth a visit to Wrexham, its a different world up here ;D |

What a treasure trove! Thanks for taking the time to take pics - it's like stepping back 25 years... loads of retro tat in there. I'm amazed at the amount of old French tin ;D.
Oh, the rims on the Benz are your typical "Mexican Hat" jobs. Not worth a great deal really, unless they're the super-rare 15in ones, in which case they would defo be worth taking!
