Worst case, carefully cut the rear quarters off, assuming they're ok, along with the other panels, and then chop the rest into little bits, and pop it out with the recycling :y

Funny you should say that , i was thinking similar . There's a shop that takes your scrap items and pays for it ... going to take a lot of sawing up  ;D

Off to look at the new car  :-X

I got £150 for Ralf and I'd butchered the engine for parts.

Me and Martin will come up and rip yours to shreds Steve  ;D

   Got anyone near you who does banger racing? If its still a runner but has all its jewellry and trinkets stripped off, so to speak, they would love it as they dont have to strip and dispose/dump the interior, glass lights etc. just a thought.

Last time I scrapped a shell I was just happy to find someone who'd come and remove a car with no wheels (or any other running gear) and let me keep the V5 (needed to register the kit car the bits go into).. I got nothing for the shell but it was collected for free.

Of course it looked like this at the time (notice it stops about 3' short of where it should at the front & rear .. 2woody's plasma cutter did that! ;D)

Last car I took into the scrappy was an astra mk3, had half an omega engine and a load more scrap, stripped fully and got £110 and some copper. I usually hold a car for 6 months and full it with metal, basically a rolling skip. Take cat, rad, battery and wheels off to take somewhere else. Best way to make money on the side. As long as you have somewhere to store it. Sine cars I get in are worth more selling complete on eBay, some I just weigh in. Just missed out on a berlingo for £150, I would have sold the engine a d filled the shell with scrap :-( shame. Just shop around
