Wreckers bargain thread

Postby josh_ef » May 13th, 2012, 10:33 am

Thinking we should do some sort of thread similar to the eBay one or just add it to it

I went to imlachs today pick a part wrecker

Picked up Ed ticford nose n mint lights for 250!

Also saw they had a set of 4 Koya octanes 18 inch the nice chrome ones with very good tyres for 500

Agreed with the both of you!

Not sure if it's still there but about 2 weeks ago I was at Deer Park wreckers and saw a navy blue fairlane with mint full leather seats and door trims, was considering it but I like my leather/velour seats too much.

Not bad, in the range of fords it's average, have seen a few good things here and there though. Not 100% sure what you mean by pick a part though haha

Went to Jolly's in Dandy today, nothing special.

Pick a part means u can go there and grab what u want yourself, alot of other wreckers you goto the front counter, tell them what your after and they go get it for you.

If everything lights up you're done. If it's on fire you probably should have taken it to an auto electrician.
