Whats the current scrap metal price? I've been told the price is high at the moment so was going to get rid of my stuff this week. I've got about 2 tonnes worth at a guess, a MK3 escort shell, MK6 escort shell and various other bits. Last time I scrapped a shell I got £140 for a MK3 Fiesta shell.

Mate got £175 for a Vectra with no wheels, then £40 for the wheels after he took the tyres off.

For a Pinin ? £200 minus wheels if alloy, then £50 with no tyres.
9" disc cutter thro' the bead and rim helps gets the tyres off quick, I did 12..

I called a local place to weigh in my FRST shell

I got told it would go as light iron at £110 a ton which looking at the link below is low, might have to haggle the price up !!
