Useful for parts????

Post by SGTBILKO »

How could anyone imagine that this burnt out wreck would be of any use to anyone?

Does he mean that he will pay someone £50 to take it away?

Hope this wasn't one of the stolen ones, crashed and set ablaze?

And as it didn't sell at £50 it's presumably on its way to the scrappie now.
Please be careful if dealing with a burnt out car of any make - any parts made of 'Viton' (can include brake pipes etc) can go into a sticky state which sticks to the skin and can eat into the flesh and the only cure is amputation. Can't remember the acid it forms but it is NASTY
