Buying Salvage Motors?

[JappyBeast]

I have ALOT of car storage space and I want to buy an accident damaged MR2 Turbo as a future project but not sure where to start.

Are there sites/companies that can sort me out or is it a case of just coming across one by chance?

Cheers.

yup mark hills is a good place

never seen a two there though

try jap spares in sheffield, dunno if they do salavage but specialise in jap cars

Hows about buying a Celica GT and turboing it........ :D

That'll be a tasty project

[earpl]

no jap spares dont do salvage, sheffield sports salvage have a bit of jap stuff in.

http://www.salvage75.co.uk/ they have a red mr2 turbo, t bar,full leather & suede, light frontal damage. £1.950 ono. hope this helps, pics & price arent on site, but contact details are.

Thanks for the replies chaps.. was hoping for one for chaper than £2k but I'll keep looking!

beware though, sometimes the chassis gets twisted, and even if its not noticeable it will be when your driving, is very expensive to sort, hows your experience with repairs? i saved my old primera from the scrap yard after a front end collision but it just didnt feel right knowing it had been in a crash and it bugged me so much that i got rid of it within the month. or is it just the turbo engine your after for a transplant?

[JappyBeast]

I'm not looking to repair!

Gonna get a frontal damaged Tubby, strip, sell parts and swap engines with my n/a.

[houston]

be cheaper just to see salvage yards to get the engine then, lots of other parts on 2's are worth money so you'll be paying a lot more for a whole car. will you be doing the swap? see if u can 'borrow' jims car for a while, he'll not know the engines gone unless rico tells him.

Last week Intapart in daventry had a tubby freshly in. I think it was a Rev2. There were a few other tubbies up on the racks, but all had the engines already stripped out.

They have (or so their website says):

10 X MKI's

7 X MKII N/A's

5 X MKII Turbo's (1 says it's also a G-Ltd and only one has an engine)

1 X Roadster

I was there last week, and they only had 4 MKI's, 5 or 6 MKII's and 2 MKIII's

They also say on their site that there are about 80 Toyota's in total ranging from Avensis to Yaris (alphabetically).
