depends if you need to move it, having it rolling always helps but depends what you're selling

beam
interior
engine
suspension
panels

it's literally a case of finding out who's after what and the biggest bits you can get rid of first. getting shut of the interior helps as you can stash stuff inside it then

i've broke a few of my own now and it's a good way to make money but it takes a while and you deal with idiots and have random strangers showing up at your house at 9pm with loud exhausts to collect bits

having something to put the shell on like a metal base with wheels helps so you can move the bare shell (if it's in an area where space is limited for a truck or hiab to pick the bare shell up (assuming you scrap it)

depends how quick you want it gone too cos it'll take more than a week to shift stuff unless you gut it and scrap the shell, but you have bits laying around then and it's a waiting game for people to see stuff and want it. sometimes it's easier to get the big bits off and scrap the rest, but there is more money in it keeping everything!

Do you have an engine crane, angle grinder, impact gun etc?

If your rolling with a hand me down canvas tool bag full of blackspur tools and a scissor jack - all the best.

    If your doing it on a surburban drive, I would leave the panels and beam until last.

    That way, the interior can be removed and stored inside as Rikky mentions. Then have the car up on 2 stands at the front and the engine/suspension off and it will resemble a vehicle to passers by. Then on the day of scrapping, drop the beam and panels if required.

    Who is going to dispose of it? Rather than have a bare shell sat there do some forward planning and book a pik vehicle removal guy to come collect it. Word of warning, not all will jump at the chance to travel to remove a 400kg shell with no cat etc. So advise them it's a non rolling shell. If you have a trailer obviously take it to a scrap merchant yourself. I use a pallet with a ply board on under the centre and drag lift it on the trailer and away I go. Even with the new ruling on showing ID, I have never been asked for a V5C.

    If you have an engine hoist or access to one by far the quickest way is to drop the engine, gearbox, subframe etc, etc all in one lump and split it on the floor when it's out.

    Get the beam off the back, rip the interior out and remove whatever panels you want to keep, easily do able in a day.

    I got 65 squid for a bare shell with doors on and glass still in 2 months ago. If your engines a high miler I would just weigh the lot in less the wheels cat and any uprated parts good seats... bitron relay hockey sticks wing mirrors and thats about it. I have about 3 cars in pieces at the moment and nothing other the engine box sells for anything worthwhile travelling 30 miles each way to meet anyone who may or may not turn up. Also you may have the engine for months before it sells so all in all scrap it less the 10 to 20 quid bits you can get off.

    And having just looked at your car for sale leave the engine in strip garbs cage and all other parts and weigh in with another scrap metal you can fins in it.

    Doesn't work round here, first thing they do is stick a big hole in the tank.

    drop the subframe and then drop the engine out on a jack. Should be able to strip it no probs in half a day but to be honest i would only take engine, box, beam, wheels and brakes and weigh the rest in.

    tbh i sold most stuff, its handy having a big garage really, i gave the shell away aswell to a mate with a hiab but it was completely empty.. i literally managed to shift 95% of it, i did well actually

    i think i made £650-700 on a silver one i broke, i gave allanallen on here the bare engine for nowt, and it was like this when i scrapped it: http://rikky.net/upload/scrap6.jpg - i kept the bumper and bonnet but the rest was scapped (i gave it away)

    second one - http://rikky.net/upload/scrap6-2.jpg - it was gutted totally and sold pretty much everything off it. this is the one i kept the engine for for my 205 - http://rikky.net/upload/lump.jpg Hyper

    there's definitely money in it but it takes forever and it's ballache posting stuff. i was gonna break my 406 v6 up but i've got a bare shell in the middle of the garage now LOL and 3 broken peugeots so naturally the mrs is kicking off Whistle

    Yeah you're right and Thug and I have made some good money from our join "Hobby" over the last few years

    But its got to the point where you're giving bits away like complete engines for £250 inc box etc that you have to draw the line.I moved on the Clio 172's but even they are getting to the point of a lot of hassle for a small return so a new venture is needed.

    When selling engines it's a bit hit and miss I think. Depends who is looking and where you are in relation at the time.

    I recently sold a '6 engine for £600 with mild cams yet minus most of the ancillaries.
