FAO those who have broken cars

[maynard]

On the off chance I have to break my car in case it doesn't sell...I have a quick question!

Once I've stripped everything off it and leave the chassis on the floor on axle stands, how the hell do I get it to the scrappie to get weighed in?

Trailer.

 

[Bluebeard]

Either on a trailer or just ring someone up out the local paper. A bare shell will get you about £60-£80 weighed in.

(I just weighed 2 in)

Last Clio i did i rang the local scrapper and they came and picked it up - nice and easy

I;ve got a gypsy fella who gets rid of it, no matter what state it's in.

Do they normally arrive with flat beds and a crane to pick them up then?

they normally chop them up with a circula saw, they dragged mine into a flat bed

LOL i think he means how do they get it on the flat bed if it has no wheels?

One of my mates took mine,I left the rear beam etc and left the back wheels on.he just hooked it on a dolly and towed it away.then took the alloys off at the yard

That would just be cruel!

I just winched ours on the trailer with aid of a trolly jack. No problem at the other end, tractor with big forks on the front.

Could be enlisting your help with the trailer then if the time comes to it!

Got nothing to pull the big trailer with atm.
