Re: Bus Graveyard
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.

Re: Bus Graveyard
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 accordinglyTiger0107 wrote:anyone managed to go there.. or find this place???
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...

Re: Bus Graveyard
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.
