Have a bit of a dilema which I am tyring to figure out prior to starting my build.

What is the best/affordable method of moving the donor car once all the running gear has been removed. I can't strip it on the driveway as the drive is on a slope so I plan to strip it in the single garage but then I will need to somehow move the bare chassis onto the drive for the scrap man to collect?

Does anyone have any pics of how they managed to move their donor about once the running gear was removed?

most scrap guys have a big winch, or a mechanical grab, or both, I am sure at the prospect of some steel they would find a way,...

I would ask your chosen "recycler" if it was going to be a problem,

hth

I am at that stage now and have got the striped sierra on the front of my house hopfully the scrap man can drag it off but i no it will ruin my shingle and underlay!!!

I've left a old shell on some lengths of timber before so it could be dragged. As has been said they tend to have HIAB so will stick the hook through the roof most times!

Chop it into manageable chunks with the angry grinder first? That's what I did...

Faced with the same problem a few years ago with a Ford Transit shell I cut it into four pieces with a firemans axe and took it to the scrappy in the back of another van.

It sounds like hard work but in fact it's pretty easy and almost good fun

I dropped mine onto some bread trolleys I "acquired" from a local supermarket and just pushed it out with a little help.

A couple of old airport trolleys I 'found' did the trick and had brakes to,now use one of them as a engine trolley :-)

I put three shells at the bottom of my drive in Leeds and they were requested by scrap men within a day or two.

Ive chopped up a few cars using a 6ft crowbar with a chisel end. It took about 1.5/2 hr to cut up a saloon into bits that fitted into the back of a large estate (several car trips to get rid of it all though). The hardest bits are the door pillars, its easier to chop through the body just below/roof just above the pillars. Wind the windows down while you still can, then cut just unbolt the doors and cut just above the metal. the bonnets were unbolted and jumped on to fold in half.
