Scrappies
Hi All,
Do any of you fine fellows / fellowettes know where I can find a decent scrap yard?
I miss getting low down and dirty by working on my own cars and need some things that I would never allow myself to buy new for my Jeep. As such I am looking for a scrappie that would have some crashed jeeps in it.
Surely with all the arseholes on the roads and Jeeps or even arseholes driving Jeeps there must be a shed load of crashed ones for me to rip apart?
Any ideas?
Anywhere in Dubai would be good but would make the trip to Shabby if I needed to. I expect Sharjah will have some but don't know where to start looking.
Cheers

the other option is Al Dhaid there are 3 scrappies there, they are cheaper than sharjah but dont have the selection. note take tool to dhaid as you have to remove the bits yourself, they guys will usually do it for you in sharjah
sharjah industrial area is also great for newish parts, loads of afghan dealers who are willing to negotiate, note the paler your skin the higher the price
dubai the only place is al aweer but to be honest all the good stuff gets taken to sharjah anyway so i'd give it a miss

Re: Scrappies
sharjah is the best place for jeep stuff. lots and lots of places between emirates road and bmw road, a few are already marked on google earth.

Where in Dhaid are they? Off the 1st or the 2nd R/A. Are you talking about the one out towards Siji (Masafi direction?)
Also which rd is BMW rd in Sharjah? Sharjah is a bit of a mystery to me!
I don't mind taking stuff off myself, in fact that is half the fun!
I know, you're right about the skin colour chat. I'll make my misses come with me and speak to the guys in Hindu or Urdu.
I have been down to Mussafah before but that place scares me. I was visiting a lab in there and left to get something for lunch. It took me 3 hrs to find the place again!

sharjah i'm not going to begin to try to give proper directions but check out google earth as they are marked. short directions are, emirates road, turn left at national paints roundabout go straight through 3 roundabouts and then all the stuff you want is on the left over about 3 roads/blocks,(scrappies usually down the back streets, actual shops on the main streets)
musaffah, use a gps or you'll never find a particular yard again, dont ask me how i know this

Re: Scrappies
dhaid, depends which way your coming from but the yards are on the outskirts of dhaid on the dhaid maddam road two on the left side and one on the right.

I know the rd your talking about in Dhaid. Will have a looksee later this aft on the way back from here.
Sharjah - directions were fine. It was a starting point I was looking for.
Think I will just give Musaffah a wide berth unless it is 100% required and then I'll drop bread crumbs!
Cheers again for the help.
