How we as humans can get so attatched to something made of metal and plastic, time has come for my car to be scrapped due to MOT failure, been taking off the bits that I want to keep/sell on, but I have had the car 3 years and it is a horrible feeling, ok so it aint no cossie, but its still my car, my pride and joy, served me well over that time, and has moved on leaps and bounds from when I first had it. Strange how it can have such an effect.

Looks like you did a good job on it mate...is it not repairable?

 

Unfortunately not, short of welding another back end on it and thats not how I roll.
Needs both rear chassis legs, both sills, new boot floor, patches to the rear floor pans and most of the joins are going as well so welding to them will be difficult.

 

looks like its worth saving mate..... i had an orion mk2 had to scrap it , broke my heart , it was such a good car

 

Thats the bad thing about older fords

 

Tell me about it, the next one I get I will be going over with a fine tooth comb and a toffee hammer, lol.

 

NICE ... MK5a my FAV in my FAV colour!

Whats them rims??

And yeah, People get attached to Imaterial Objects .. End of the day .. Health is Wealth ...

 

Its a shame but im sure the next one will be even bigger and better!

 

16in OZ Chrono's as purchased from a certain J Gibbs.

Saving up a little now and on the look out for another one same shape/colour but will be a real RS2000 this time.

 

such a shame mate. I love my fords but they bloody rot Fuckin Old Rusty Dogs.

 

Hate scrapping something I've put time and effort into, still, onwards mate, only good things await those that look.

 

Gone, Gutted.

 

Feel for you mate, never physically scrapped a motor I have been attached to, but I've shed a tear or two over a few cars I've sold.
