none of the old stuff is salvageable at all they are realy rottern a think by the looks of that 77 transam and the camaros they will fall apart if they are moved they are that bad :cry: he has a few 3rd gen camaros and transams that still looked good and an 80s mustang and 80s cadilac an a couple of other things. he told me he wants to clear all the old stuff and just deal with selling new parts.

you need to ring before you go or he wont let you in ye ano because i was looking for an early 2nd gen project but the 1s he has you cant see for bushed and he says they have been there atleast 20 years so iam guessing by the look of the rest of the cars there they will be way past repair :(

There might still be some salvageable parts on them though. Last time I spoke to them, which was many years ago, I found them to be very unhelpfull in selling stuff

cheers...Nige

Car Details:79' camaro road & track day toy. 383 stroker, 5 speed TKO trans, lots of suspension stuff, 13" Vette brakes, 18" wheels.
Location:Luton
I bought a new sill/rocker panel and a NOS windscreen from DB Motors about a year and a bit ago.. he is a funny old boy to deal with, but has many good stories and used to circuit race himself, and DB used to sponsor a V8 race series back in the early 70's.
When I was there the yard was full of old dogs.. Most of those cars have been there many years and will be beyond repair unless you own your own body shop, and have a nothing else to do..
