I went to see the Cooper S being stripped.
The front's been smacked hard and airbags popped:yuck:.
Pepper White with sunroof. about 160 000kms
I'm gonna help the guy sell off bits of the car-
And no, I'm not ripping him off, adding bucks for myself, and reselling.-
In return for me helping him he'll give me the branch & exhaust and most of the other modded parts at a good amount.
(and i get to learn a bit by tinkering on a vehicle oter than my own)
He just wants to get a few rand from out the car before it gets thrown away as scrap.
SO- I just brainstormed a few things that might be of value to guys with maybe a damaged interior piece, or worn out something or what have you.
-Aerial (i've seen a few broken ones on cars-this one's good)
-Bonnet and or boot lifters
-I'll check if it's a newish clutch
-Maybe have this flywheel lightened?(i know someone who did it to a Pug's)
-Window winder mechanisms
-Power steering pump i believe was recently refurbed / redone
-Window wipers (i saw one that was from the coast and rusted)
-Any of those plastics around the edges of the car (oviously the fronts of this are fooked)
- full rear bumper
-front right headlight
-doors
-side mirrors in pepper white (i THINK they were un scratched)
-17" wheels with 75% non runflats
-mats?
- the carpet
-2004-2007 Tail lights
- dunno if someone would want ti put the shorter ratio gearbox from the 2004 into a pre 2004?
- pepper white wing
-all the cooper S badging and side indicators with badging
-the intercooler and intake manifold are bust, i cant see the rest, Maybe take the head and have work done to it? Sub assembly? or whole motor
-starter
-altenator
-Sunroof (i'm sure a body shop can fit it?)
-all interior bits- anything that might be scratched on your car you'd like to replace? gear boot and handbrake boot etc.
-speakers, Radio
-ECU
-Fuel pump
-water bottle cap
-rear view mirror
-keys
-window washer motor and bottle might be a cool intercooler spray DIY?
-any sensors? temp, speedo, etc
-plastics in the pillars?
- can the outside of the pillars be removed?
-ENGINE & gearbox mounts (COOL DIY to fill with urethane)
-pedals
-gear lever (shorten this one ant try as a short shifter)
-worn linkages?
-any radiator hoses leaking on your guys' cars?
-Brake calipers - (have these done in red and keep ur originals)
-brake upgrade for a cooper?
-window chrome strips seem in good cond
- petrol cap
I just thought of stuff that might start ya'll thinking- hopefully i can get some bits off the car soon and get pics up etc.
Contact me if there's anything you'd like to know about 0829230030 or PM
and he's a very reasonable guy - not trying to make big money. just a few bucksfor a few bits :thumbs:
I hope this works out and i'm not just pissing into the wind. Shot:ty:
