Question Gonna scrap the donor fc...

I am pretty much done with my donor fc that has been almost stripped. Now I'm thinking its time to sell for scrap metal. Does anyone have experience in the field of scrapping an fc? Where do i start and who could i sell the metal to? There is no engine/tranny, no front fenders, no front/rear bumper, no seats. Still has carpet, dash, steering, suspension and glass, just a shell. I need the cash to get my gxl semi-ready for SS... Any suggestions....

Ive seen those ad's for like donating your junk car. It's like a city program to help kids or somethin..try that, I think they come and pick up your car for you.

my homeboy hooked me up with a little make-shift junker that will pick up your shells for free. i did that with my free fc at the end of spring semester. you just have to write on a paper that your signing the car over to him.

bro in order to scrap the car has to be totally stripped no windows dash no carpet no nothing..Also when scraping the car you have to be cleared by DMV with a release form to junk it...Trust me i just scraped two this past weekend and one the weekend before..You have to have paper work statin that car is free and clear of fee's and is junk...Save your self the time...CA state wants there money and are pushing it to the fullest and doing anything they can to penny pitch us which way ever they want!!!

If you don't want to go that route...Chop the car in 4 or 5 big peices and scrap it that way...you won't need paper work and it will just be scrap metal...

Two choices pick one..

I got fucked on a FC on a car i got from someone her on the forum not to long ago...Registration was back do for 2 years i had to pay the late fee's on that before they could release the paper work!!!

Thank god the lady at the junk yard was coo, found me cute and we both spoke spanish..and i pleaded a sad story to her...but don't take that chance...Paper work or chop it up...

That dash is clean bro..take it out sell it...

hey like fc pro am said there is a program that will pay top dplla for your gold flee kalla and in any condition runing or not they will take it a pay you and tow it away look at the kelly blue book and cut it by 75% and thats what your going to get ooooooooooooooooooorr you can go to a dealer sell it to some guy for 500 whos going to buy a car so it would be a win win situation you get 500 spending cash he or she gets to keep her clucker and get the government to pay the 4800 for a new car
