Start A Scrap Metal Hauling Business

What do you do in a situation like that? You have a low paying job and you are driving around a 20 year old (at the time) clunker. What are you going to do in order to get that next car paid for? At least to get the initial down payment you might need to sell it.

scrap yards near me He then took me down a rough, muddy path scarred with hundreds of dried bare footprints. A thunderstorm the night before had flooded most of the low-lying areas. Hacked up slabs of wood bridged deep puddles of stagnant bacteria-ridden water where babies played together naked.



The ride home was enlightening. Not only because of the mind numbing noise, but also the sheer performance of the thing. I also discovered that the redundant switch on the dash was connected to an overdrive! Which was mighty strange when it was supposedly powered by a 1500cc Ford engine. Subsequent investigation revealed a great, cast iron, lump of a Triumph TR4 engine, complete with twin DCOE Weber carbs and a set of individual exhaust pipes that could have doubled for gutter down pipes. Decades later I discovered that my supposed Talisman was actually a Tornado Thunderbolt with a Talisman body grafted on. Not just any old Thunderbolt but a Tornado Team race car. 130+bhp, stump pulling torque, effectively 7 speed gearbox and a weight of around 1500lbs. Happy days!

You will have to have a clear title in your name to sell your car for parts. The junk yard does not want the hassle of dealing with a stolen car that has owners searching for it. Of course, you know the car belongs to you, but the car reapirs owner does not and does not want to take the risk. If you cannot find the title, order a copy before you try to sell the car.

Junkyard - it might sound a bit weird, but it could be one of the places where you will easily get auto parts which are not available in the market currently. These parts may not be manufactured any longer or are not available at all stores. The best part is that you might get a really costly product at a really low price.

What this means is that you can sometimes save a lot of money by sourcing the motor spares you need online, instead of buying through garages, or through major car manufacturers.
