Yep, this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/u ... ras-and-cell-phones-14953
Positively surprised by it, expected total rubbish but it's great for the price.

As for mine, i have had a bit of a play, as the rear tyres were shot (surprise surprise) and i think i like the silver foxies better, they seem to suit it more i think.

Nice BMW drift car! Here's my car...well one just like it anyways. My car is a white 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP that came with a supercharged 3.8L V6 but is FWD . I recently took it to a shop to get an estimate to fix the left brake line and the rear brakes(pads,possibly rotors, maybe calipers even[it was grinding for quite a while before I stopped driving it]) It needs work done to it now but instead of fixing it I might sell it as is or trade it. Reason for this is the car was put up on a lift and I saw how rusted the body was for the first time. Everything is rusty and there's a couple of rust holes scattered about. I really love the car but in the long run it might be better and cheaper to get rid of it before I dump a lot of money into it. The car sat in water for 2-7 days at one point I've found out. Kelley Blue Book is $2955 on it. It'd be a new start for me to pick something more trackworthy (manual,RWD or AWD preferably for drifting or drag but mainly to do autocross and local track days etc.)Here's a pic of one similiar to mine[with the same wheels that I have on mine](hopefully will get some shots with the digital camera before I get rid of it):

Random question... anyone here ever broken a car for spares before?
No but it's quite easy. Just sell bits you don't want. Did the Rover die?
The ZT's fine - but I've seen a rather tasty Rover 75 for sale near me.
£500, lots of optional extras - would probably get £800 for the easy to remove bits, which leaves me with a shell (which i'd get £100 for) and a private plate.
Just trying to work out the potential pitfalls.
No pitfalls at all. Only slightly difficulty would be if you wanted to sell the chassis (with VIN as a whole but engine and interior bits you can happily chop and change without needing to tell anyone anything.
Have stripped a couple of cars
if you have the time to do it, and choose your car wisely, you can make a decent profit.
Its not hard to do, if you can spin a spanner you can do it. Hardest bit is removing the engine/trans as you'll need an engine hoist.
Umm, why? I don't know how it is in UK, but here if you want to rewrite a car to other person, you just need ''certificate of registration/passport of the car'' (IDK how it translates in english properly
), noone will look at that particular car, it can be 1000km's from a car registration office where you reregister it.Got some stickers.
Not worried about the physical aspect - more pitfalls I hadn't thought about (like disposing of fluids etc).
Would probably leave the engine / gearbox in the car when it got weighed in - nobody's going to want to pay for a KV6 with 120k on the clocks, especially when it needs a cambelt changed (30k overdue - the guy claims its been done, but has no idea if he has the receipt and hasn't looked in the service history.... yeah right)#
EDIT - Chassis worth nothing for sale, best use would be for scrap. More things like the interior etc I would sell for cash.
I have 3 pedo bear stickers.
Jack you are fine to do that mate 100% guaranteed no issues.
