Default breaking a cosworth ???

hello all.... for those that have stripped a cossoe at home have you left all the suspension fitted to keep the shell rolling or used some sort of trolly to move the shell about on.. im thinking of breaking my saff but id like to take the coilovers and 3door hubs off along with brakes as id make more money back this way. im thinking maybe get a set of wheels and std suspension to roll it about on or once stripped make a trolly to bolt onto the chasis..
any thoughts..?

break the lot and sit it on a pallet etc as when its time to get shot most vans have a winch or a crane to take shells away as long as they can get access to it

Unless your shell is minty mint its worth nothing so just drop it on the floor and get your local scrappy to collect it with his truck

it is a pretty nice shell to be honest.. all painted underside and near perfect bodywork.. i know that on here you really need to be in the IN gang to sell anything but ill give it a go in the next few weeks selling as a whole car. then consider breaking later on..
id rather give the coilovers away with the car before it got dragged up onto a trailer..

Sounds like a nice shell, might be worth speaking to the guy that unfortunately had his crashed into at national day?
