These vehicles look to have been lying around on a farm or in a field for some time, now available for restoration.

Hi

There is a mayflower there, could be an ideal spares donor to a certain member on here.

Cheers

The trouble is with cars in this state there can be so little that is even salvagable, it is a real shame they got to this.

yeah I agree with ukd, I've bought cars as spares donors in the past, but when you get into it, the only thing you can salvage are semi-repairable panels (which you'll probably never use) or oily bits, which are awkward to store, heavy to move about, and again probably never use either. Trim is rarely any good either. Stripping for parts is better than scrapping though!!
