£15 is that all scrap metal is worth. Oh well better to have it in your pocket than someone elses.

No engine, no prop, no bonnet, no rear sub frame,

I work in the steel industry, we get through 300 tonnes a week.

And I wanted it out of the garage pronto

A prediction.......

I recon, due to the high current price for scrap, there will be a major fire in a large scrapyard somewheres soon. Just coincidence that it empties rusting relics that are 3 or 4 or 5 high of that unwanted upholstery, linings, glass and similar and leaves (relatively) clean though fire damaged, bare scrap metal that can be put directly into the chopper upper and thence straight into a big melting machine with little contaminants.

Oh, and get the premium rate of, I'm told, £120 per tonne.

Or I may be wrong...... Shocked

So, if you have a favourite 'Meega sitting somewhere in the corner of a scrapyard that you are keeping to yourself , get the bits while you can. Cry
