Highly skilled and intelligent chimpanzees like me could give them a new life!
sounds reasonable.
the only floor is when it comes to selling.
i charge according to condition.
obviously a chassis has a value, if i put axles to it. then they need to be the ones you want to get rid of in poorer condition. same as making up an engine to go on it. it needs to be a plus 60 block, a crankcase needing work etc.
if im my usual honest self i tell people what i am selling them. (obviously nobody wants it then). or i change my ways and lie about condition. (then i have unhappy customers) or even loose the good ones.
i have a 40ft container i rent, its never cheap. and they have just put the price up another £100 a year. making it £1,800 so i am clearing it and getting rid over the next 3 months. alot of the good stuff can go on my website, or on ebay.
the rest?. i took 30 crankcasses out yesterday, 3 were good enough, not the best to be put on ebay. they may fetch £20 each if im lucky. probably worth alot more.
the rest are in the aluminium trailor i have going to the scrapman. scrap value is around £5 each, and i dont have to spend all day parcelling them up.
gearboxes tomorrow, ill sort a pic?
