Sorry for the delay. Received many PM's requesting the location. The scrap yard is outside Mittal Steel in Vanderbijlpark off the N1 Bloemfontein highway. I will try and get a better address. Happy hunting. Cheers. Vintage.

I've been to that scrap yard a few times the past 5 years. In my experience, the owners are a bunch of very unfriendly people who are convinced that every single part in that scrap yard is worth its weight in gold, and price it accordingly :?

All the 'good' stuff is anyway gone years ago, and the air pollution of the nearby ISCOR (MITTAL?) plant has caused severe acid rain in the general vanderBijlpark/Sasolburg area, and resulted rust on the wrecks that is worse than you would find at the coast. Go have a look yourself, but in my opinion not even worth going through the trouble...

hi

also been there a few times, very few usable parts
prices are steep and they are convinced the splits/fleetlines will be exported at good prices for resto.
