I've been helping a friend of mine take apart one of his proteges.



This was the point in time where his mood changed and we stopped cutting stuff.

j9fd3s 01-07-2007 01:16 PM

yep, thats how you tune those up @200,000miles

Rob x-7 01-07-2007 03:57 PM

you could probably get $50 in scrap for it now

i just turned in 5k lbs of brake rotors for about $250 ($5/100lb or something, i forget) just before xmas. shoulda seen the rental f-150, short bed, extended cab with 5,000lbs (aka 2.5 TONS) of brake rotors in the little bed, tailgate was like a few inches off the ground.



aluminum is great, $.60/lb for now. and copper rocks, had two copper rads wooo.

teknics 01-07-2007 04:12 PM

whyd you slice it up like that anyway?



kevin.

ColinRX7 01-07-2007 04:37 PM

he wants the roof for his other protege



not that the other one is damaged, its just a sans-sunroof model. so he wants a sunroof for it





today we cut the front clip off







the idea for this parts car is to cut it up in tiny pieces, and slowly throw it in the scrap bin at work. take one piece per day.
