What is your best scrappy find/purchase/steal ?
Discussion
Okay then as per title what is your best scrapyard purchase/find/steal
?
One from me, my local scrappy when I was a bit younger had a Vectra ST200 just in and still on the back of the lowloader, had a quick look around it, most of the front end had been knackered, I bought 3 of the 4 17" Speedline Mistral alloys (the 4th wheel was buckled) for £90 and also bought the Recaro front seats from it for £50.
I didn't have a vectra at the time, but knew what the parts were worth, unfortuanetly the scaryard owner didn't - bonus.
Later on sold the alloys on Fleabay for £300 and the recaro front seats for £250.
Tidy little profit
So what is your best find/purchase/steal?

I once found a complete genuine mk3 escort rs1600i, the interior was burnt out but the engine and bodykit was all there. Really wanted to buy it as the stuff is worth a few £££ but it got sold before i could come back, buyer did what i was going to do. Cleaned it out of the valuable bits.
Also found a defender 50th as well. Guy wouldnt sell it either. was gutted as a 4.0 V8 auto defender would have been great to fix up and sell on. b
