Scrap yards

[kc_08]

Hi my corsa caught fire due to an electrical fault and the cars had it, I'm looking for a scrap yard to come and collect the car, but I want my coilovers off of it, wondering if they would still collect with no suspension (still has engine in ect)
Thanks Casey

Only if they have a Hi Ab

Why not just ring and ask the scrap yard collecting it....

[mowgli]

why not drag it down there, jack it up & remove the bits, then weigh it in?

When picking up the phone seems like hard work?! LOL

[kc_08]

Cause there isn't one collecting it ATM, don't jump to conclusions like a bitch andy just to get brownie points! Stay away from the Internet if you don't want to see people asking questions

Phone around, there will be one to collect, they probably won't give you any money as they will say the cost of collecting it equals what you'd get.

They will collect it with no suspension, my car I scrpped last year had nothing left bar the shell itself(including chasis legs as they had rusted away lol)

My local reclamet said there collect the car an price is £100, not too bad! Lol bloody hell! I didn't want to weigh it in with pretty much brand new coilovers on that's all to try an re-coup some money

[Andy]

you have to pay 100?

[brainsnova]

£150 a car so not too bad

[kc_08]

There give me a £100 for it collect and will happy drag it up a trailer ect, I didn't think it was bad at all considering how much it changes

[Andy]

That's alright is that.
Much less hassle than taking it yourself.

[kc_08]

Yeah I thought that was very fair too lol yeah that's the problem it's burnt out ect and pretty much stripped lol

[Andy]

Happy days then.Would be a ballache towing

Touching burnt out stuff like certain rubbers can also be dangerous so safer to let go

[EwanG]

Its a corsa! If I were the owner I would be happy if the scrappys took it off my hands with no charge!

[kc_08]

I'm not worried about a £100 for scrapping it mate, that's not what I was worried about

yep you don't wanna be touching any of the plastics etc when they have been burnt, they can produce hydrofluoric acid, once its in your skin your f....d, it eats the calcium in your bones

I once solid barred a car with a burnt interior. Me in the drivers seat. :(

.....it eats the calcium in your bones

it doesent really. HF continues to burn through all tissue until it is neutralised by calcium (ie bones) most HF plants have calcium gell thet you rub on if you are exposed to it.

I used to work in a lab for bp in my first apprenticeship, when they used to test it the full lab used to be on lockdown lol, i just remember the safety talks they used to have on it, horrible stuff

It's the Haynes warning that scared me as it says it may be necessary to amputate the limb concerned
