I've seen that too, I once saw a PO van 'loaded' by ramming a giant wheelie-bin full of parcels into a bar bolted to the floor for exactly this purpose - the wheels hit the bar, the whole thing tips over and most of the parcels land in the back of the van...

I'm just glad to see it's in 'like-new' condition!

Bit of tcut2 and that'll be reet!

Wonder what's he's using it for? Done vehicle registration for a kit/custom maybe?

He said he was going to restore it! I had offered to remove the plates and VIN if all he needed was the ID I could have posted that (surprisingly legal to do)

Very nice!
More to the original point, I hope the courier refunds you, it's a rubbish situation to be in..

Wow! That looks new! I'd have paid £1500.00 for that beauty!

For that kind of money you get your pick of the showroom!

I do like a good trip to the scrap yard.

they still pile them two high where you go? nowhere round here does that, not since 2 or 3 people got killed messing with them

Yeah, pretty much all of the scrap yards in that area have two high stacks. The car I was taking a brake caliper off was on top of another which made things a lot easier (apart from nearly getting brake fluid all over me).

Yards around here you're not allowed to climb on or around the stacks. They make you take an employee with you to do it. They told my old man it has to do with their insurance.

If they're stacked more than two high, an employee has to get what you're after. You're not even allowed near the stack. You have to stay at least twenty-five feet away while they get what you came after.

Some of those can easily be fixed up. Just weld in a couple of plates.
