Getting rid of the donor..
Aston - 15/7/04 at 10:07 PM

First post! My name is Aston, and i just started work on a 3TC (Corolla engine here in the states.) powered Lotus 7, and am building it largely based on what the "book" says. I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I just bought my donor car a week ago, and it's already pretty much stripped now. Does anybody know the best way to dispose of a car that doesn't roll? I was thinking about just chopping it up with a sawzall and throwing the bits on my trailor (Small, 8x4ft, single axle.) and taking them to the scrap yard. Is there a better way, that i may not be thinking of?

You can reduce a full shell into manageable bits with an axe in about 30 minutes. A great stress management technique

When I had mine I stripped it of everthing but the hubs and wheels and arranged a collection date with the local scrapper. When the day came I rolled it out, jacked it up and finished it off.
