Title: What can I do with my shell?
Post by: dandan on February 04, 2006, 06:56:01 PM
Hi all,
I\'ve got my shell up for sale in the appropriate section, but was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions what I can do with it if I can\'t sell it.
Basically the shell is taking up all the garage space, and daddy dear is breathing down my neck to get it shifted.
Will I get any money for it if I take it to the scrapyard? Also will scrappies pick it up cos i have no way of moving it.

If anyone wants it for a project or just has space to store it until they could sell it on, I would let you have it for practically nothing!

She\'s gotta go and i\'d hate to see her end up in the nearest A-road layby! :)

Any suggestions?

Steel is about £80 a tonne for scrap, so you\'ll get about £50 odd without running gear at a guess ??

I\'d be happy to bring it to you if I could organise some transport, you rented a truck and trailer cheap didn\'t you?
I just need to shift it sooner rather than later cos i\'m getting earache from all the moaning! :):)

Can I add that I cant afford to spend additional money on it! lol.
Would be cool to make something non-vehicular out of it but I dont have the space!

thanks for all the suggestions though! :)
