ive just had a phone call from a car breaker,he has just got a 51 plate galant saloon,rear ended (crumpled up to the front door's)
the front bumper is in mint condition with fog light's..(the fool has sold all the other front light's,when he knew i wanted the clear indicators!)
he is going to remove the bumper and put it to one side for me :D
should i ........?
or
shoud'nt i .....?
get this.....he sold all the front light's,bonnet and a wing to the local mitsy garage for one they are repairing for a customer!!!!!! :laugh: (sound's like a rip-off for someone :sad3: )
Has he got the handbrake lever? Is it a leather one?

i'll have a look an see if it's leather,do you want it if it is?just undo from the floor and undo the cable?.Also i go away on holiday on friday for 2 week's so if i can't make it over i'll phone and ask them to remove it and keep it with the bumper, :rolleyes5 in fact i'll phone just now i'll get back to you in a few min's ;)

Isaac,he does'nt know if it's leather or not? he had a look but can't tell the difference!!DUHHHHHH :laugh:
:| i'm having second thought's about anything from this car now? it was involved in a fatal crash,up-north about 8 week's ago :sad3:
also does the early grill match against the later bumper?(grill was also sold to mitsy garage)

If it is a sport style bumper, you will need the grill. I don't think the early one fits - it is definitely a different shape.
Hmmm, that puts me off too rather...

I thought a car involved in a fatality should become a category 'A' write-off and all of it's remains destroyed - To prevent damage to health, distress to the bereaved, etc.... You seriously don't want to be buying a car with someone's bits still smeared on it!!! :( :( :(
Why hasn't this one been processed as such?

It may be that the vehicle that rear ended the galant had the fatality
y do all galants get shunted up the backtrap y cant someone come to me with one that hasnt ....

Bal just to let you know, J.A.P.S in Glasgow have a boot lid it's a bluey/green colour on a R reg..look's in very good condition,i tried to get a price but the guy who deal's with the prices was'nt there and i could'nt hang about (sorry).
you could phone them and ask if they could send it to you?

as for the Bumper.....it's a newer than mine GLS one (like Kieran's old car) one fog light has gold-fish swimming in it!! and it's pretty well scuffed on each corner.........(waste of bloody time!)
Isaac...it has the standard handbrake. did you get the PM i sent you?
I did, thank you. I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks, so probably won't do anything until I come back. Cheers anyway!
