i was going to tow it along but scrap value has dropped and i have a van anyway so ive had a mk2 golf cut up in my mates sprinter good times.
im tempted to do that with my Nova, ive been told the scrappys are saying they wont take cars with wheels now because they dont want to pay for tyre disposal.
So they come along and dig your driveway up at the same time as taking the car lol

novas have to be sold on not scrapped and you can dump the tyres at your local council tip for free.
if someone is after a bare shell with no front end then pm me with your offer!
I can easy get the tyres off but that leaves the car sitting on discs and drums, cant get a hi-ab down to where my shed is only a beaver tail
I havew a better idea, I did something similar with a pair of Astras but without a Drill

anything else is a waste of time & effort...
Should have sold both shells on. Dont look to rusty.
