Roughly what income from breaking a car?
I need a few bits for mine, have some spare space at home, enjoy tinkering, so put those together an I'm considering buying a decent spec 75/ZT to pillage what I need then sell off the rest.
Any idea wht there is to be made from doing this? I know a lot will depend on how many parts sell etc, but can anyone offer a realistic ball park figure? Thanks |

I have broken a vehicle at home.
Don't. It was here for ever, once the popular bits have gone, the rest of it will sit there for an eternity. |

As Canonite said 'time to strap in'
That's one thing you do not say on here 'I'm thinking of breaking' Just wait for them pms to start rolling in!

I don't see the problem with breaking cars, I know my car would have been scrapped by now if it was not for people breaking them. I find it hard to believe that there are many members that have not fitted second hand parts.

In the end after taking off what I wanted etc., it sat in the drive for about 2 years and the wife was getting more and more annoyed (can't say what she said ) so I contacted seancar and he came up and took it away. If you need bits, speak to the traders.
