I scrap cars "over the scale". Here that means not complete so they don't deduct for missing components, and are only to be scrapped. Your area yards may buy differently. Check before you load it up or tow it away.

Hope this helps.

I am getting paid to take all of the car. Belive me, I would just take the goodies and run, but then I won't get paid.
