RobMk6 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 there is a mondeo that was in an accident with itself never done any damage to anything except a tree, and was sat on the dual carriageway layby for at least 3 weeks, it has now been towed 2miles down a back road, has been THERE for a week and shows no sign of moving. what are the important bits i need to do to get it out in a hurry? e.g. cutting/ripping off the hoses and connections and stuff.

BUTLER Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Go for it mate! Duno how you do it, but just do it lol! I'm keeping my eye out for dumped cars at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teribus Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 if it was me, i'd go down with a trailer and take it and hide it in a garage somewhere. pinch the engine then put it back I don't know what you'd all need but if you got the main engine block and gearbox, and maybe the radiator, any other parts you need could be sourced from a scrapyard cheap enough. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85rob Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 best thing you can do is remove the number plates and put it on a trailor sheet it and take it somewhere where you can work on it properly, you wont Fcuk anything up then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMk6 Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 no numberplates on it, no tax disk no identifying numbers anywhere.when i first saw the car i thought it had been nicked, but...my theory on things like that is if you nick a car it aint yours in the first place so why bother taking the number plates off, but...... if you wanna DUMP your won car then take the plates off so it cant come back to you. and the idea is to tow it away as i cant get hold of a trailer. there is a barn just up the road from where it is thats owned by a m8 of mine so.......

scott_d Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I remember a police program where they hid cameras around a dumped car and watch people strip it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_edward Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I think to be safe, go to the police station and enquire about that particular car. Thats just what I would do. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
