    Is there any website or place where I could buy a wrecked bike to work on? Preferably with papers.

    I assume you dont mean a "wrecked " beyond repair bike.....City spares, First choice breakers always have " rough" bikes for sale

    Or 'Street Fighter', real means 'was once a beautiful GSXR/R1/ZXR etc until I crashed it into a wall.. It was beyond economic repair so I put bicycle lamps and a sent of Renthal bars on the new CG125 forks.. Now its a 'once off stunning Street Fight, a real stomach head turner.

    Has anyone used copart.uk? Is it difficult to import?

    Why would it be difficult. Just arrange a bike courier to bring it over. Done.

    Try Buttercup Lane in Darndale on any Sunday evening.
    Probably won't have papers though.

    Surely for the price of shipping a wrecked bike from England,you'd pick one up here.
