Scrapping Mondeo
I've got to get rid of one of my mondeos in next two days cos no more room down the drive. Shame cos it's still taxed and tested.
Anyway local breakers gives you a standard ten quid for any car as long as you drive it there. Apparently there's a local scrap dealers that
actually weighs the car and pays accordingly. How much approx. should they offer at the moment?
If it's nothing I'm sorely tempted to keep the engine for future kit car use cos it runs fine and is 1994 so doesn't require a
cat etc. unlike my later Mondeo. But then I'll have to pay them to take the body away.
Either way it's got to go cos the gate doesn't open far enough to get the wheely bin through, and I'm not getting the car out for
the sodding useless binmen.

If it's Taxed and tested isn't it good enough to sell as a runner?

Err not really but if you want it and can collect it in next two days it's yours for £100. Basically I've swapped all the new bits
I've put on it back to my other Mondeo, eg battery plug leads, plugs, tyres, wiper blades etc. but couldn't be bothered changing the two
silencer boxes so they're pretty new. basically it works okay brakes fine engine fine etc. but drivers window is jammed halfway and it leaks
steering rack fluid.

No alloys unfortunately. Mind you I'd have kept em for the locost anyway and I've got some 4x4 sierra ones for that.
5 wheely bins wow. I'll swap you two for one Mondeo.
