Another accident

Looks like another 340 has met it's end, probably hardly anything wrong with the car before it was mangled.

It's a common sight. 340's are use very often for things like that. Many fire departments use them for firetests in holland. Saw one standing for a long time at the dpt. in the next town. When i went there to ask if i could get some parts of it, it was gone to the scrap yards.

But funny pics, although its a 340 :(

Yup, didnt think of that before...

Oh yeh, I would like a nearside red wing too...

my mum pulled out of a parking space and well made a mess of it in collision with another car... need to get one of them sometime!

Do the wings only have bolts on? or are they riveted at the bottom, i havent had a look...

Should really post a wanted message, saying i want a left red front wing and rev counter in addition to the bonnet!

I may go round a few scrap yards at the weekend and see if they have any + see how much they'll charge, I'm very tight with my money!

Cheers for letting me know its easy to remove.
