    IF I were to be gutting that car this is the approximate math:
    $320 on body (this taking into car having a bunch removed)
    $100-$125 on Tires - and would cost me $12 to have removed
    Rims would be tossed back in the car
    $80: Converters total
    $7 on the Alternator
    $5 on A/C Pump
    $35 on Wiring
    $7 bucks if you get both heater cores and rads
    $5 or so in A/C lines, condenser etc
    $12 on Battery

    $559 to $584 Ballpark
    Profit $239 to $264 at $320 Buy Price.



    But as it has been said- your BEST learning "advice" is experience. Dig in, Gut her hard and see what she brings you!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
