Mrs corsa b is rotten, can she drive to a scrap yard and remove alloys there?

How much is a shell with engine and interior worth? Runs great, just corroded

I used to work in a scrap yard and we used to get jews coming in to scrap cars and they'd want there petrol/diesel back and wheels ect

So just ask they can only say no

Yeah you can take the wheels off when they lift it up with the grabber.

Did that with my puma then sold the alloys for 70 quid.

Yeah I did that too got £27 iirc.

For just the shell without any doors/bootlid, no interior and no engine I got £60. Must have only weighed half a ton?

Shell around £100 per ton although that will differ regionally.

Needs the wheels off, some places allow you to work under the grab, some don't.

Not bad at all. This was a couple of years back though. Made over a grand on splitting that little Puma up. Not bad really. Paid 2k for it as a stop gap whilst I bought my first house.

People who give the whole car to scrapmen are losing quite a lot of money.

Depends if you got somewhere to keep the bits though while you get rid.. I for example would break half the stuff getting it off but then it would be sitting out front on the drive way for some pikey to thieve anyway

yeah I guess so. Mine sat in my garage so wasn't too bad. Just meant I lost some space for a while.

See it quite a lot with people buying Pumas to get the engine out for their Fiestas, they overlook all the faffing that goes with it.
