Me and a mate do it. Usually car shells, blocks, gearboxes etc. Usually make enough so that I dont have to touch my bank account each week for petrol and beers.

I wouldnt do it full time, think it would break my back.

I thought of getting a cheap flatbed and small hiab and doing it on my days off instead of using my works van!

Some tidy money too be made!

I never know where to find it without either robbin it or knockin on doors, but that just makes me feel a cheap worthless cunt to be honest rather do it on the sly.
Had £130 of copper pipe out of a skip and some old earth cable/bars but bout it really, never anything around. Where do you all go looking? around housing estates?
