Unhappy Aw Crap... I knew this day would come

... So I got a know on my door about 20min ago and it's my apartment manager.

"You need to remove jor car." -Jorge the Mexican apartment manager.
"Ok, I'm removing the parts here and there, there's alot that's usable. It will be gone" -me
"Ok, cus, the lanlor drove by on satoda and said the car mus be running to park there." - Jorge
"It runs! I took the battery out a few weeks ago, but it started up and everything before"
"Ionno... das just wha the lanlor said. It mus be drivable" -Jorge
"What about those two other cars just part there!"
"They can move." -Jorge
"Ok, I'll get it out I just need time."
"Can it be out in a week?" -Jorge
"..." -Me
"......." -Jorge
"I'll try..." -Me

Soooooooooo... I need to get my car out.

The day has come, I'll be selling parts/donating others, and breaking it down. I really wanted to take out everything that works and put it in the shell I can have in San Leandro... what to do what to do!!!!

My car currently



The shell I planned to put it in



Any votes on what I should do, or can do in a week, I really don't want to call pick 'n pull...

Spend a day remove everything you want and call pick n' pull. With air tools it should take you long at all.

you actually brought this on yourself. The least you could've done is clean the dirt off from the rollover. Nevermind a car cover... Maybe if you would have been a little more discreet they might had looked the other way.

If I were the landlord I would have just called a tow truck on you.

Is this your way of telling me you plan on getting me preggers down the road?

I do have a car cover for it, I kept it covered, I think my neighbors called it in cuz they constantly complain about me

Happened during the Jan 3 Nor Cal Lake Berryessa cruise. To summarize, she did a barrel roll off the hill (or two) after overtaking a car.

Engine/trans, interior, exhaust? What else needs to be pulled? If someone brings in an engine hoist and jackstands, we should be able to get it out in a day, maybe 1.5. Push it out to the street and send it on it's way. D:

If you can get Monday off, count me in. Too many time off requests for weekends and don't want to push it with mgmt. :/

Or we can ask the landlord to ride shotgun and prove it still runs.

In unrelated news...Mike, I dropped the my old red bins and glove box cover at your shop. Can't find my old key, but I remembered to unlock them prior to storage.

Get a gas powered power saw from home depot. Cut the car in 6 pieces. Store it in your apt.

I can definitely do the foodness for this, it's not like I didn't know it would happen, I knew I had to get it out of there, I just was hoping it'd be later than sooner.

Interior has FEW usable parts
Exterior is uhh... in the form of art if anyone wants
Transmission was on it's way out
Engine is REBUILT, pulled strong and got like 30mpg!
Has a new alternator
Exhaust is still usable, but is literally welded on, like even the hangers are welded together.

If anyone is serious, I'll be pulling parts I could use for my current car every morning this week, and do the big jobs this weekend. I'd be happy to provide food and you can keep whatever parts you'd like... except the exhaust I still want it, and the engine - for a price.

Otherwise I'll give pick 'n pull a call and I'll have to say goodbye to my first rotary love....

I don't know what you are fussing for, pull the engine and junk the rest. Should have done it from the start, the way you are describing it anyway.
