Car wreaks

#1 Post by Oldcarnut »

There are two car? wreaks near me that have been there for a while close to the river.The best way to get to them is down a steep incline from the fields above.They are practically disintegrated :roll: . See if any of you can make out what they are.The engine is from an old mk 1 transit van/truck I think.

Is the white upside down one a mk3 cortina?
The red one looks like it could be an estate, as there is reference to scale it.

I'd agree. Dash looks mid 80's typical dagenham plastic
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner

Definitely agree on the dash being MK 3.
Looks about the same condition as the one I used to have....
