Before FCB started, I had only heard that there is something called "gujiri"/scrapyard/Stephens Square in Shivajinagar which is just 2kms from house. After FCB, when I started driving my PP more, I needed parts frequently so I used to visit the scrapyard.
Note that when FCB started, we did not know what a Delight/ Select/ Millecento etc etc is.. nor their value... As all of us had only Padminis'. Karthik did not even know that his 1973 Fiat was a President.!
The FIRST time I got excited with scrapyard was when Karthik, Sujith and me found a Aluminum Delight grill hanging out in a shop. We had no idea the specialty of the grill. We read "FIAT"on the grill and we realized its a grill for our cars. Nobody except me was interested in it as it was a old model grille all wanted their cars to look sportier. They discouraged me to buy it as it would give old look to my car and the price quoted was too high at Rs. 300!!!! We thought who will pay so much for decades old grille.
The grille was hanging in the same shop for a week. By then I had realized that the grille did have some value and I finally picked it. THEN started my hunt to collect all the other Delight parts. To be frank from April 2009 till date almost I visit The Scrapyard daily! I now know everybody in the scrapyard and happy to say that all classic parts are reserved to FCB guys now. The reason why I don't like others to buy such parts is that they buy for the sake of selling it for a higher price later.
This Historic Alumium Delight Grill is on Karthik's S1 now.
For Karthik and me, its like a game going to the scrapyard daily. After his office which is a km from my house, we go and pick up some part from the scrapyard daily.
Wish you FCCH guys Happy SCRAPYARDing.
