How to scrap car

Post by Shushman »

Hi guys. This might sound like a daft question. But if i part a car and just have the shell left. How do people get rid of these? Many scraps want the 'whole' car that has not been parted. Im based in London. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great.

same here. Jus sold it as scrapmetal, in one piece. Before doing so, I got it out of the systems, so the car didn't exist on paper anymore(Dutch legislation) .
