I left my garage door open, came in the house for 15 minutes for soup. Guy comes knocking on the door wanting to know if I want to scrap the Mini bodyshell sitting on sawhorses in the garage. Around here, if you set anything metal by the curb, it will be gone by the next morning.

I don't call the peeps in the paper, I have some stuff I don't want them to take and you can guarantee it would go missing if they knew.

Or cut it up and sell the quarters on eBay if they are any good for repairing other cars!

Maybe worth asking your local garage for details?

I shipped mine to the breakers on a trailer, it was the start of a good relationship with the guys there.
Good guys to know when looking for parts.

The same with me!!!!!!!

Hopefully sorted!
I stuck a sign on it saying 'Free - call this number' a couple of days ago.
A guy phoned me this morning offering to take it away this weekend :cool:
I really didn't think the sign would work, as it's tucked up out of the way down a cul-de-sac.

ebay, freeads and gumtree ad for a penny
someone might just take it away for you :D

Woo Hoo, the donor is gone :D

A local breakers / scrap yard took it away for me today.
I didn't bother asking them for any cash, just wanted it gone!
