70-series parts in Sharjah scrap yards (1 Viewer)

[janyyc]

I was going to post this in my build thread, but I have so many pictures, and I think you'd like to see them.

At the recommendation of @John Young I visited some Sharjah scrap yards he had scouted out. They are truly amazing. Most 70-series parts seem to come from Australia, with some cars being complete... others taken apart... There's one specialist in new take-off 79 parts (beds, wheels, etc.). It's mind-boggling. Bucket list item for our likes for sure!

"Mind-boggling" indeed, mate. Thank you for sharing!

I'm embarrassingly behind with regards to my posts on the forum. This is from my UAE trip in April of this year:

Mind sharing the contact details of the scrapyard ?

Those tires and rims were date code week 21 of 2021. Prices have gone up however. And they wanted and got about $200 per rim and tire combo

So do they actually drive rhd vehicles there or are these just imported for part outs ? Always thought that new cars where cheaper there ?
