Scrap yard, stock info, South west. what do you need?

[8valve-craig]

hi mate if you come across any conversion parts for a c20xe into a corsa give me a shout coz im after a load of bits like engine mounts drive shafts conversion hubs and an f16 gearbox or similar for the big block engine i'd be grateful

Quite thin on the ground to be honest, They tend to get broken before they hit the scrapyard. There is a 1990 calibra in a yard on hayling island with a very early 20xe, (coscast) the guy wants £200 for engine and all the running gear, (head is worth that!) and a corsa sport you could have the 22 spline shafts from in a yard called "noons" near salisbury. As for mounts etc, best bet is to buy new or make them yourself.

Also a mk2 astra 1.6 in "harry bucklands" cheltenham with good inner cv's, Perfect for conversion as it has an f16. Although i may take them off myself this week as "spares" for my nova. Hope this helps a bit.

well i have a corsa gsi already but i got the entire front end of a 99 vectra sri 140 for 80 notes which is a serious bargian in my eyes so im now collectin bits to get this engine in then i'll sell the shocks wheels radiator etc etc and what comes of my corsa aswell might have bagged some mounts and conversion hubs for 120 anyway so we'll see what happens. cheers for your help

2.0 ecocrap? unusual conversion. Good luck with it

[corsagirl2009]

I can assure you its there, i saw it again yesterday! Its blue with the standard white wheels. There are however two yards, one is on hopton industrial park and only sells parts off the shelf. The other is down a really tight track by the canal with access for the public. Its this one, the breakers yard you need. good luck

Oh right thanks. Are you able to find me a contact telephone number please as the only one I can find is the hopton park one?

[locky182]

1.6 vxr turbo and manifold which would bolt straight onto my 1.8 corsa o and a standard facelift corsa C front bumper? in black if there's a choice.

Sorry cant help with the vxr turbo, Never seen one in a breakers before as they tend to get sold on as salvage., Front bumper shouldnt be a problem though. Il keep my eye out for a black one

Ive never found a number for them either, usually i just turn up. You could ring hopton park, ask for ivor and im sure he will be able to give you the details. Regards, craig

[8valve-craig]

Oh and sorry i forgot, they have three yards, Shelf parts, Breakers, and End of live (car squashing). It is of course the breakers you need.

Thanks for posting this! Used to live in Warminster so I can imagine you must be doing some serious driving around as everything is so spread out round there.

Don't suppose you know a breakers in the Gloucester/Cheltenham area that are friendly? I'm after some bits for my mk3 Astra:

Drivers side wheel arch liner
Electric mirrors (later shape)
3 wire fan plug with a few inches of wire
Headlight rubber cover (where loom plugs in)
Battery holding bracket and bolt

Cheers

[corsadonk]

I was in Jones on Monday, and was eyeing up the 944. But I didn't see the Calibra.

Yes. Lived in cheltenham for 20 years. Harry bucklands,, Highly recommend him. About 300 cars, all on 1 level (concrete) Was up there friday last week and he's got no less than 10 mk3 astras.

Also a mk2 Cavalier 1.6 (big block) And a 1985 Astra mk2 1.6 (big block) Although i have already removed all of the inner cv's and distributors....

Also cleeve motor salvage in bristol road gloucester have just opened up the doors to the public

I was in Jones on Monday, and was eyeing up the 944. But I didn't see the Calibra.

It came in tuesday last week. Its by the back gate where the new stock comes in. Still to be de-polluted. Its a bit of a mess mind. All the ally in the bay is badly corroded and it hasnt run in years. I bet you could get all the running gear for £150. Oh yea its white by the way

Surely you spotted the corsa GSi....? Still got the 22spline shafts in too. Although i have had the front bumper and skirts....

[corsadonk]

Yeah saw the Corsa.

Ah new guy,,, Shaun, Big chap, Always wearing a high vis bomber. He's sound aslong as you know how to take him. Comes across as a right arrogant cu*t though most of the time. Best to have bit of banter with him then he loosens up a bit. He's just managing the yard, new owners are coming in next week and the yard will supposedly be getting filled with more insurance write offs. (as opposed to complete scrap)

Rayners ey? Funny you should say that as i rang them this morning looking to pay a visit. Guy seemed really sound. said he had a nova in and quoted "but its only a sh*t 5 door"

My only problem was the location, looks as though the quickest way there is a trip up to the m4 etc. what did you think of the yard? anything worth mentioning? much stock?
