Earlier today i was at my local scrappy looking getting a new indicator stalk as mine is Buggared... Stumbled across something and me and my mate bought it.. Is a non-runner and MOT failure so we thought we would take the challenge.. Pics will be up soon..

Micra's are great.
They are like the cockroaches of the road. Small, slow and they just won't die. Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

How did you get it from the scrap yard? Every time i ask its either got to be scrapped as they have sent the forms or its been seized by police and has to be scrapped and can never go on the road again D:

ive bought a few cars from scrappys, you just have to be there at the right time before they fill out the certificate of destruction

Some scrappys by me also save cars which run, are in good condition and sell them on instead of filling in the forms for dismantling them.
