having not really understanding why 240 shells are expected to be so cheap i went another way in selling someones shell.

this is not my car and we didnt want to make it a rolling shell for the same amount of money.

or spend money on a ka swap and still come out with the same profit.

with a rolling shell that should put you about $325-$350 more if your on stock wheels, steelies and you include them.

with interior they will lower the price per ton however not enough to where it doesnt add up to more

say $370-$400

you need to break all the glass tho, or take it off and part it, which btw i need a windshield.



so fuck you guys who think a shell should be almost free:chair:

also i have shitty video coming soon
 
it was supposed to rile you guys up for a great huge discussion about why everyone expects a roller to be almost free when the body alone sells to scrap for $250.

and i put up alot of pictures to let you guys have something to browse thru since your addicted to clicking the new post button.

and fuck yea i bought that torch set :bigthumbu my dad needed one this summer so i bought it now disregard cost. rented the tanks free and wasnt charged any gas fee because i hardly used any.
which btw i need some knowledge on that pertaining to the video.

IF YOU GUYS DO NOT WANT TO SEE SOME BORING ASS VIDEO OF A CUTTING TORCH DO NOT WATCH IT

its like 2 minutes long of wasted time

but if you do watch it can you tell me why it does that around 30seconds into the video and is it because the oygen valve isnt open enough?

Where did you take those scraps to get paid 200+? I took a hatch to a metel scrap and they gave me 30 bucks but that's just shell no subframe no door no roof or 1/4 panals
 
same thing i had, no doors, just the body


TMR

or Trademark Metals Recycling

go in and around the whole place to get on the scale enter from the west side heading east.
then drive off scale and make a right theres a huge pile of scrap
unload there then drive back around to get on scale again.

if you have anything like aluminum, radiators, wire, etc then youll need to take it to the south east corner of the building.

to get paid the window is on the north side of the building next to the scale but faces east.

good luck but fuck that $30 iyou got ripped

it pops like that because you are putting the tip to close to what ever you are burning there.
 
wasnt the car running and just parted out? why not just sell it to someone to enjoy the car instead on trying to make a quick buck? unless there was an other meaning to this thread im still lost..
