Default Something for the canadians to check out? Minakers.

Minakers Auto's. Now i dont know how long this has been going on or any more details about it (price etc), but through around about circle i found out about it. Dont now even if you know about it already- i havent seen it mentioned though.

There area fare few CMP's- early ones in there such as the one below (second link), as well as the odd other thing of interest to some. Scroll through the picture pages to find more stuff!

Alot look reasonable, some probably great for parts, but most seem like a decent resto candidate- well hey, i`m sure worse have been saved!

Story i was told is that they are to be crushed (everything in the yard), but in an email i recieved yesterday, alot of it is still there.

Good luck and i hope someone can make something out of it all!


Ian.

Good day Ian! If you check back in the Jan for sale or trade, a post came up "CMP sale in Ontario" or words to that effect. It was about this very yard. They had advertised last summer that they intended to get rid of some stuff. There were a few including my self that visited the yard. I attached an air photo of the yard in that post just to give you an idea of the size.

Thanks Craig,

Shows how much i follow the forums... or maybe it shows even better how well my memory works- probably the later!

So was anyone able to get any useful stuff out of there, or was it all over priced or so on?

Cheers,
Ian.
