Question: Will an FC roll without the rear diff and driveshaft?
 

I would like to know if when I remove the LSD from this shell I have if it will still be able to roll (to the scrap yard)

Thanks!

yes.

fuck I love these forums.

Thanks t-66

does it have things called wheels?

^ Really? You have to be like that?

haha yeah dude unless your ebrake is on

Flipper,even if you take the subframes out,the Scrapper should take it.Just ask them for a Flatbed truck.I had NO bottom shit what so ever in my Yellow one,.the damn thing was 960 pounds!..oh just make sure they will take it like that first though.Best thing is to phone them in advance and find out.Then if they will,go to Freakin town on it!Some places are different as they bring a Tow truck,not a Flatbed.

price of steel is down to 60 a ton and they are getting pretty anal about what is and what is not on the car

Heh, a friend of mine once stripped a car down to the frame and then cut it up with an acetylene torch and threw the pieces away in the trash.

hahaha well then thats a good way to spend an afternoon

honestly i dont think its a stupid question for someone who hasnt removed a diff before. luckily there are people other than you willing to share their useful comments ;)

If he was going to keep the car I would say NO. Without the axles in place the hub can damage the bearings. Try it, I didn't believe it until it happened to me (luckily I only had to roll it on and off a trailer with no axles) and started making this rather wierd sound. Found out the hubs were coming out of the bearings.

Werd, I made sure they brought the flatbed. Fuckers didn't give me a dime for the shell becuase it wasn't a complete car though. At least I didn't have to pay to get it carted away which amost happened to a buddy of mine.... instead we did something like

that. Exactely like that.

If they dont tow it away... Find a canal, or a lake... Let it go underwater =P

I keed I keed.... I know a couple of people that have done that though...


Just comfirm that they will take it, and accept that they probably wont pay you. Some local junk yards here will only pay if i has an engine, even if it was a complete shell, only missing the engine...

took a 1995 protoge to a junk yard once, they told me to remove the gas tank and I did but while i was there i cut the cat and took it to our local place that all the junkyards sell theirs too and sold it. trailered the car to the yard we exchanged cash for title and i went to drive off and the guy wanted the money back because it had no cat and they didn't see it till the fork lift took it off the flat bed. I said see ya! Free car gone for 125 for the car and 150 for the cat... lol

was there something wrong with the FC shell I would assume yes if you gave it to the junk yard for free...

No, nothin wrong with it. I just dont want it, and apparantly neither does anyone else.
