Chopping up a donor

[Beardy_John]

Hi guys,

Seem to be having trouble finding a scrapper locally who will pick up my sierra without the paperwork. Has anyone tried cutting it into small pieces and taking it to the scrapper themselves?? Big job??

Cheers

That's exactly what I am doing, and have done in the past. Best to use a reciprocating saw with a metal blade. Helps to have a big trailer as well.

Unfortunately I only have a 4" angry grinder and an estate

I cut mine into pieces and took it on my bike trailer. It amused the girl working on the scrap bin at the tip - you'd think she'd never seen a Sierra arrive like that before!

I had the luxury of a 9" grinder. Could be hard work with a 4" one, though.

You could hire a Stihl saw for the day.

Use the 1mm disks, they cut through the sheet metal like a hot knife through butter. Something like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-115-x1mm-TH...QQcmdZViewItem

as neil said
beg borrow or hire a petrol saw (stilh/partner /makita ) we did !!! two hours three abrasive discs and it all went in the back of the toyota pick-up truck
as neil mentioned before to me dont forget to cut out and keep the chassis no plates
