How many cars have you parted out?? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Just out of curiousity, how many cars have you parted out? As in, stripped, gutted, etc. to the bare frame.

As of today, I'm on either number 7 or number 8, haven't really been keeping track of them that well

Up until 2 cars ago, I always had a huge problem getting clutch pedal assemblies out and ended up completely taking the damn things apart. Then, last car, I finally realized which bolts to pull....there are only like 3...one bolt inside of the car, then the two nuts holding the master cylinder on, boom, done. Woops, I feel retarded.

Only done one, I cant stand to see them torn down. I always try to save. I've lost money on one but in my mind better than sending it to an early grave.

Parting out a car is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Wonder if I still have that video of the big claw picking the bare frame up and crushing it into a huge pile of scrap metal

Yeah, I know what you mean. I kind of got over it after the 2nd or 3rd one.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not my decision as to what happens to the cars, I just do as I'm told.

Kinda sucks though...I think only 2 of them have not been TT's.

I've done 3.

95 base Stealth, 92 VR4, and a 94 base 3k.

I have a 92 RT in the backyard I keep considering parting but think I am just going to fix

0 and I hope I never do. I just brought this one back to life.

I've only done a 93 SL.

It was very educational and I had fun doing it but I would discourage someone from it unless the chasis is wrecked. My part out car was bought from another guy that started the partout cause I wanted the digital climate control from it. He said take the whole car for $200 so I got it all after he had sold maybe 20% of the other parts.

The reason he got it was a leaking head gasket that had caused the oil/water to mix and ruined the motor. The body was in excellent shape. Really, that car should have just had a used motor put in and stayed on the road. Only 87K miles when she died.
