Been watching lots of car restoration/rebuilds on YouTube. Also been looking on copart.co.uk and there's a lot of stuff to choose from. Seeing as I tend to buy shit dressed up as not shit, maybe I should just buy shit that's been declared shit and save myself some money?
Some of the cars seem written off for very minor cosmetic reason and my current car has more dents and scrapes than stuff on sale for peanuts. The motorbikes seem pretty tempting as they are either wrecked cat B stuff that can't be put on the road or just the usual shit you get from sliding down the road. I'm guessing the bloke next door who seems to into making streetfighters with skull headlights gets stuff from places like this.
If you buy stuff that's definitely from insurance companies there's not much of a scam involved but they also sell stock from private individuals as well which apparently is often dead or dying cars.
