FREE: 1998 1.9 Engine and/or bones of car
Posted: Sat 21 May, 2016 21:38
I have to start planning what to do with the remains of my 1998 1.9 breaker. From a financial point of view I'm happy to let the engine & box go with the bones of the car for recycling as that way there should be just enough metal left to avoid paying for removal. But it does seem a bit of a waste, the engine has done 150k but pulled liked a train when I drove the car home.
Is anyone interested in the engine for free? You would need to come and remove it yourself. I'd like to keep most of the ancillaries and would also ask you to whip the gearbox off at the same time for me as I might as well have that as a spare. The engine can be heard running.
Alternatively the engine (less ancillaries) and box can stay in the car and you're welcome to the entire remains for free. Most other parts will have been stripped apart from the suspension/brakes so it will roll but you will need to bring a set of wheels/tyres. The front & rear wings and sills will also be on the car, they are salvageable but will need a lot of love. The roof will also stay on. But I will probably be removing the front panel too. The underside is just starting to go around the jacking points but it's by no means a rust bucket.
The car will be kept water-tight until I do the final removals (bonnet, boot and doors) when it will be taken into the garage.
I can't help with transport so realistically you will need to have access to a van/trailer for free as recovery is likely to cost £150-£250, ie more than what the thing is worth.
It isn't ready to go quite yet but if I know someone wants it, it will encourage me to get a move on stripping it.
