Does anyone know any decent breakers near bristol?

As above.

The closest is Fab, but they are not interested in old e34 garbage. What happened to beemer redeemer?

Having seen some of their handiwork, hopefully they have closed down !

Are you buying or selling ? I have a 535 sport that is getting prepped for the bridge, and I have a few bits.

I believe there was a flood , of the very wet type, and undoubtably , of irate victims , so they closed the doors.

Not been down there for a while so don't know if they have any e34's in at the moment, but it's a good breakers

I'm guessing you and Tom don't get on too well then

They used to be bum chums so whats happened Jon the Office manager?!

[HairyScreech]

my local one in westbury has a 34 in, what do you need i could pop in and see what it has tomorrow. (only around the corner from work).

I have an early turd which is almost a shell, and a late 520 touring, both breakers

Simon not an office manager(that was short and sweet), but i know where you found that from. As for tom its the past, but i bare grudges for a very very long time.

Im sorted now. Got the parts from a scrap yard(one of only a few in and around bristol), plucked from a touring which is the only e34 they have. 4 years back they used to have loads of the things and 3 to 4 e30's. Are there many scrapyards down london way now?

Alas, scrapyard numbers are dwindling here fast and in an effort to recover the huge investment needed to run one legally nowadays , the prices are not too appetising

That and the fact that the supply of cars that us sick coonts are interested in has dwindled to barely a trickle , has made the regular trips to the breakers a thing of the past

Things are so lean, I even bought a couple of four pot four doors this year to frag !


On a more positive note, the lack of turds and morsels readily available in yards has meant people are having to get used to paying more for nice parts

[Andyboy]

Yards like Grunters* in West London are now a joke. Staffed and frequented by monosyllibic Eastern Europeans and assorted nefarious characters in black leather jackets not from these isles, their prices are a pisstake - socks and tight fitting grundies need to be stocked before leaving.
Still, a 3.15 ratio E36 LSD for £80 was turned into £300 within a week, even after dropping it, fracturing the alloy rear cover and having to rob another one from a 328i.






*Hunters, now called something else.
