too many breaking
there needs to be some education me thinks .if youve got a car that is repairable please offer it to a good home first .
take a look in the parts for sale and you will see what i mean ,there are people on here crying out for a good base car for a restoration .
sorry if it sounds like a rant just annoys me ,nearly as much as the looming smoking ban gggrrrrrrrrrrrr! :x

Some are beyond help which is fair enough. But a hell of a lot are reduced down for a quick few quid :cry:

I, for one, don't particularly like seeing repairable or slighty untidy cars being broken.
That being said, I need a n/s wing and a rear door for my mk1 and I'm pretty sure they'll come from a broken up car.
Plus if we didn't have cars being broken for spares then we'd all be complaining about lack of parts and prices thereof. :wink:

The cars I break are not viable restoration projects in the main.
Buuut - I cut up a '83 4 door shell recently - not much rot but when I got it it had been sripped of a load of parts - The shell alone provided metal for 6 MK1's - so gotta be worth it.
I think that the bad thing is when a restorable car is stripped of the good bits and the rest junked!

Just wasn't viable to repair, The parts are going to keep other gti's on the road so I've no regrets :dontknow:

start up a fund for all the mk1's that can be found ,buy em up and sell to enthusiasts rather than letting 'The Vultures' have there way .
