    Born in 65
    I can remember scrap yards that had them 5 high and allowing you to go were ever you wanted.
    We use to arrive and ask " have you got an escort,or mini" just to get in and then spend what seemed like hours looking for bits and bobs.
    Walk out saying " you didn't have what I needed" then drive away,unloading your socks and inner jacket pockets off all the bits and bobs (nuts ,screws, trim clips,bulbs,etc)
    Some places even had an honesty tin (cos they knew what people did.

    It is always interesting to see different aspects of your daily experience. That must be like an Aladdin's cave for you. Plenty of excellent material at keen prices, waiting for you to gather it up and give it a new home. I appreciate the benefits of salvaging parts, it saves energy by giving parts a second life. It avoids waste, reduces costs and so on. I am glad it was your legs doing the mud plugging with the uphill and down dale bit. A couple of dog walks per day on hopefully solid roads is enough for me these days. You spared me the effort of viewing that interesting raw material. There were no remains having rusted to hell and back now, like there were in yards 50 plus years ago.

    Great video Rob 👍 Very interesting 🤨 👍 I’m sure I’m with many others who would be interested in a few more of these vids interspersed between your builds etc 👍 When I saw the damage on the Corsa I have to say I “gulped” because of the damage 💥 and then price 💴😮 But I was surprised 🙌 to hear 👂 from you that you were confident 😌 that you boys could turn it around and get it out the door for a profit (shows what I know - nowt is the short answer 😉) It would make a cracking series and I’d love to see what it’d cost to repair and how much you’d flip it for after all the no doubt hard work that’d no doubt go into it 👍
    Anyway 😊 again 👍 Keep up the great work 👍

    Rob love the videos, do the odd fixing and repairing, last year I picked a 2017 Corsa E Diamond front end damaged drove fine just needed parts, lucky I had a cat b for breaking to use for parts and made good use of the breaker as the airbags were gone also. These Corsa are hard to sell if they have a category, I’ve had my one for about 6 months listed and not one call. I’ve dropped the price and it’s the cheapest in the market. I picked it up for £2250 mileage is very low 5000, if you look online you should find them around £2800 over the years I’ve had quite few of them and it’s hard to shift the ones that don’t come with extras fitted. I hope this help you with deciding
