Me & a mate scrapped a 4wd van, it had to be removed in pieces as it was boxed into the property.
We seperated it into its shell parts (sheet, thin metal) heavy parts (gears, cast iron, diff & swingarm suspension etc) aluminum cast bits & pulled the wiring loom & stripped & burnt that for copper.
All the excess rubbish we dumped into our wheelie bins (local council rubbish service) for free disposal.
I don't know what we actually got in the end, it was mixed in with other stuff & in different sales & overheads (grinder discs, sawzalls blades that didn't work, petrol & trailer)
I do know that it was definatly worthwhile to do, NZ$500+ cash in hand after expenses (US$400+) & its wasn't all there, no radiator or battery or cylinder head or wheels.
If I had the chance I would be doing just that, stripping vehicles down to the basics & playing the scrapmetal market $$ game.
