Once you have a car to scrap, find out what parts on it are valuable.
Things like carby & starter & alternator are valuable.
But having a certain tailshaft might also be valuable, same with seats, or like above, sun visors.
I asked if I could scrap out the wiring loom out of a car up a driveway, they were about to load it onto a trailer & take it away for scrap.
While I was removing the loom (for copper, I strip it & burn it off, lotsa work, but $) I told them what I was doing.
So the guy starts thinking & gets me to remove the starter, walks inside, stays there for a while, walks out, sez
"I just sold the starter for $110, on 'TradeMe' (NZ craigslist, Much much better setout). Moneys already in my bank account.
m They actually have a 'Wanted' section & the ad was in that.
He based the price on a previously sold item & included postage so it was $8 cheaper in the end.
Still, $100 for no work.....
Leave the connections on parts if you can, just run past the connection & leave a inch or two of cable.
