wonderfull just to kill a rat he burned the whole house:bang:

nice metaphor, but flawed, as many are in their use, esp when full facts are ether unknown, or ignored. chas doesn't have the room for the whole car, nor the time to spend sorting its many, many issues out. neither do i. no one wanted the whole car, they wanted bits, as did chas and i, so the decision was made to break her down, recycle what was useful, sell what we could, bin the rest. as we were doing it, we commented on how there would be those who wanted unsalvaged parts after the car was gone, but thems the breaks. we did a pretty good job in time available to rescue a good amount from her, her parts will go on.......

there comes a point where time/money/space/effort contraints make the choice for you, and attempts at pithy backhanders by those not in the know, commentating from the sidelines, make no odds to those who jump in and get on with it.

sorry if it hurt you in any way, but feeling sad to see a Uno being dismantled.

"Recycled" to help other Unos live would be a better way of describing it. Look at what was left and got collected by the scrap man - there was very little left of any use, other than a rusty shell that would cost more to repair than the car was worth. We would've taken out the screen, engine and gearbox if anyone had wanted them but despite advertising what we were doing no-one requested them. Well, not until after the car had been dismantled and the remains taken away by Mr. Scrapman - sods law and all that

Most of the parts that were removed are now obsolete/ unavailable from Fiat, so that means these parts can be used by myself and a plethora of other Uno owners to keep our cars on the road. Remember, the point of this scrapping exercise is to ensure the survival of roadworthy Unos on British roads. A very positive outcome don't you think?
