what do you do with a totally parted out body? can you call those " give us your car - running or not, tax deductable" places, and have them take it away? or do you have to pay to have it taken away? also, how much does a stripped body weigh?

i know a guy that donated a celica gt to the kidney foundation. it ran though.

cut it up into sections and weld up a 914 modern art statue for your front lawn. then put a $3000 price tag on it to see if someone will buy it.

stripped, i would guess 800-900#.

you can cut off the drivers side rear corner for me. i am desperate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) maybe the control arm too.


look up a few metal recyclers in the yellow pages. if you have a sawzall, you could cut it up into managable sections and get some money for the metal. instead of paying to get it towed. (i am the fool that owns a truck and gets the willyoubemyfriendandtowthisforme phone calls. duh. okay)

5-17 cents a pound? i know scrap copper(pure) is 90 cents/pound.

there is a place is the Seattle area that will pay for the steel if cut up into four pieces and if it weights more that 1500lbs. If not you just dump it for free. I loaded the 70 914 into the F250 pickup and pushed it into the pile there.

Try some local towing company's. They should be able to dump it for free at a scrap yard and may only charge for their time.

I've done it twice now.

You're in California. You need a 'junk slip'. Free from the DMV, go get it.

The 1st one I took the local body shop that does a lot of 914 work (Hi Scott!), and he cut it up and put the pieces on customer cars.

The 2nd one I took to the local dismantler (Hi Rich!), and he took care of it.

Any junk yard can/will deal with it, once -you- get the junk slip.

Weight? Dunno, but 4 people lifted it easily onto a flat-bed without any budweiser.

Yes, you need the junk slip or title for the regular junk yards to take it. Often, when people don't have the title on these types of junkers they do the cut up method and then take it to the dump or a metal recycler.

If you have the title, be sure to surrender the title and possibly get rid of the VINs if you end up cutting it up for scrap yourself. Otherwise, CA will just keep sending you renewal notices.

you guys and your sawsalls. what ever you spend for blades, time hauling it away plus gas, what ever time you burn up cutting it up, screwing your back up loading that one big piece. last time it cost me $20 to have one drug out. would you work anywhere else for what you are saving if you figured it at an hourly wage?

yeah, but you're missing out on the fun!

invite some friends over, fire up the barbecue, get the Sawzall and the blow torch out and have fun ...

plus, if you're clever, you can sell most of the rust-free CA pieces to guys on the east coast for BIG money, har har (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Cutting up a car? Geez, one afternoon and a 12 pack.

I have to admit... when we did the Bumblebee, it was the recipient of donations from several sawzall'd cars. Of which, I was very grateful.

One cut up can save many. Even though my old 72 was a rustbucket, it had a good front trunk floor. I cut it out for someone... and a couple years later someone repaid the favor by helping me out with something and it was completely unexpected (and greatly appreciated).

Ok, more details. Wooden boats rule. (I spent a little time in the Muskokas where these things are a sport of their own) Chriscraft? Year? Etc.
