Its a stihl saw........which is a petrol powered large angle grinder...

Anti clamping device

I'm sure I have seen the fire services use something similar.

Issunaz you certainly made short work of breaking that one up.  

Had the local tatter round loaded his van and put the £15 in my pocket  

Got to call him back now for the diff and rear sub frame

£15 is that all scrap metal is worth. Oh well better to have it in your pocket than someone elses.

£80 a tonne at the moment - so ANY omega is worth close to £150 as a shell only !

[flymike]

Is that not for a full car? if it was just a pile of metal i am sure you would get more.

[Markie]

not sure mate the price quoted top to me was for scrap metal - apparently at its highest rate....for some years.

Blimey I wonder if Issunaz knew this.

It was the shell he cut up aswell.

[Marks DTM Calib]

The shell alone is well under a ton.....remember, no drive train, no doors, no interior, no electrics....etc etc....plus the guy collected it!

Make sense  

If it had all the internals he could have possibly made on it if thats the case.

Good point actually - should still be worth about £50 in scrap.......maybe

No engine, no prop, no bonnet, no rear sub frame,

I work in the steel industry, we get through 300 tonnes a week.

And I wanted it out of the garage pronto

A prediction.......

I recon, due to the high current price for scrap, there will be a major fire in a large scrapyard somewheres soon.  Just coincidence that it empties rusting relics that are 3 or 4 or 5 high of that unwanted upholstery, linings, glass and similar and leaves (relatively) clean though fire damaged, bare scrap metal that can be put directly into the chopper upper and thence straight into a big melting machine with little contaminants.

Oh, and get the premium rate of, I'm told, £120 per tonne.

Or I may be wrong......  

So, if you have a favourite 'Meega sitting somewhere in the corner of a scrapyard that you are keeping to yourself , get the bits while you can.
