Off to the scrap yard

So I pulled the seats out of the mini-van and loaded up the van with the cut up car. I tried to get the car all in with one load but it was a bit too big. I could probably have loaded it a little better to get it in one load but I wasn't too concerned. I got $37 for the scrap metal. $4 of that was for the Aluminium radiator. So not much for the metal but to be honest I thought I'd have to pay to get remove the frame when I first got the car so actually getting some money for it was better than expected. After getting the car out I got to give the garage a pretty good clean out.

I started cutting off a section of the front. There was a lot of steel to cut through and my sawzall is battery powered so took a while. I decided I needed to cut through less metal making subsequent cuts.

Another view of the front clip. Look for the kid's razor scooter. I used it to help wheel it out. I just picked up the other side and wheeled it out of the garage

Julie was away for a week and I threatened to leave bits of car parts all over the front yard while she was away. I took this with the intention of emailing it to her. As it was I packed it all away after I cut it up as I wasn't all that keen to have it all laying around outside either.
