Classic Auto Cars - Restoration

So what do you do with your car when that is the case? You have four choices; sell it, part it out, scrap it or donate your car. Selling a car with a serious problem is very difficult. Most people only want to purchase a car they can drive without having to make any expensive repairs. Anyone who is interested in buying it is likely to offer you very little money for it. Selling a car is also very time consuming, inconvenient, unsafe and frustrating.

The best way to find the part you need is to call the junk yard first. Ask them if they have the part and give them an opportunity to look. If they do have it, they will tell you. They assess vehicles when they receive them to see what parts are in good shape and which ones are not. They will collect both the internal and external parts that are in great shape. They will even collect tires that can go a while longer. Whatever it is you need, just ask.

The metal scrap industry is full of all types of metals, of all types of grades, and every type of "flavour". It is your job as a scrap metal "artist" to know the difference between red brass and yellow brass... (hint hint It's the color!) but also much more subtle things like the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel. You will learn very quickly by taking things to a scrap yard. Ask questions, and be curious! picking a niche crew are the best people to ask, and should be more than willing to help.

Most of the large junkyards use a system called a "Hotline." If you call a junkyard and ask whether they carry a certain part, they'll check their inventory database while you're on the phone. If they don't find the part you need in their inventory, they can use their Hotline to quickly check the inventories of neighboring junkyards. A quick tip about the Hotline: ask the junkyard that is checking other yards what that particular part would have cost if they had it in their inventory. You may be able to negotiate the price with the other dealer.

Now lets think about this on a smaller scale; think about that little pill you are taking. It's meant to treat symptoms, right? Read the bottle carefully -treat symptoms. Whatever happened to fixing a problem at the root? What if you only treated the symptoms of everything in your life, instead of fixing anything at the root?

Search for local auto salvage yards. The Internet is a great place to find junk yards in your area. Enter "auto salvage yards" followed by the name of your city or town and check the results. If you're using Google, you'll also see a map returned that will pinpoint the exact locations of nearby yards. Pick up the phone and call each yard and explain what you own and what is wrong with your car. You may be asked about recent repairs and stand out features such as a customized grille, newer wheels and what type of audio system is present.

Once you find a supplier that has the part you are looking for, you can go and pick it up or they will hand deliver it to your home. Since the process is online, you could also look for multiple quotes to ensure you make an informed decision. After all it is just one or two parts; you do not want to land up paying too much money.

So its not just your daily domestic rubbish which can be recycled, you can take your motor off of the road, sell it for the scrap metal and take comfort in the knowledge that you have done your part for the environment.
