    Mike1 You say you don't have a wrench to take the motor out.

    To scrap a car you are going to need much more in your tool box then a simple wrench. You need sockets ,ratchets, extensions, screw drivers, cutters, a engine hoist, a jack, a lug wrench, sawzall, and a lot more!



    Just sell the car as is to someone with experience. I mean the TV has you puzzled the car will take you a life time to disassemble.

    $300.00 to have it brought to you? Are they flying it in? Seems pretty expensive, perhaps you should look into a job towing cars by the sound of it.

    lol yeah thats what i was thinking it seems to me that they over charge people to bring things to you from a short distance away. im just trying to get the easy things out thats all ill just put on some safety glasses and see what i can take out with what i got and leave the rest in there. my dads got some tools i can use but no engine hoist im sure i can get some things out of it without a hoist just not a lot of things.
