I have a few questions

1) What kind of place do you live in.. (ie apartment, home,,etc)

2) IF you put it in a garage, how did it get there

3) How did you junk it once you were done.

I am about order a clip and dont know if the dumb asses in my state will be able to get it in my garage. I cant leave it in my driveway or yard because I live in government housing (military)

I live in a subdivision and have a basement so that kinda helped out. To get it in there we used two engine hoists and hooked them up to the Strut towers (one on each side) and just wheeled it in there. They say that some salvage yards will take the leftovers, but if not you might be able to take it to a recycleing station and get ride of it as scrap metal. I will be able to tell you that one in a few weeks. :cool:

depending on when you get the clip, I can come up there with the puller to move it. but an easy way would be to get some of those things they use for towing busted *** cars, the have 4 wheels on them and they go under the wheels. just jack up the arse end of the clip, put one of those babys under it and push! lol

and for getting rid of it, you can have fun with it if you hack it up with a sawzall into little peicves and just load it in a truck and deposit it in the big dumpsters all over town, like at apartment complexes otr construction sites. a few peices here, a few there...

yeah!! RB20 time

if you live near the ocean, or any body of salt water for that matter, use it to make an artificial reef, then in about two years you will have a great place to fish.

lol!! sorry 1dollar240, but North Dakota is about as land locked as you can get! infact, the geographical center of North America is a town called Rugby, in north dakota. By geographical center, that means that it the furthest inland point from ALL bodies of water. it sucks here.

I second that notion....any state the illegalizes selling cars on sundays and buying bunny rabbits should be kicked out of the US...LOL or at least keep it uninhabited

Dude... that is frekin' LAME!!!

I'm not some damn tree-hugging long hair hippie or anything, but that's SOOOO wrong and irresponsible. As an avid 4X4 enthusiast, hunter, mountain biker, and hiker I spend a LOT of time outdoors and in the woods. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing that s*** laying around polluting what should be untouched nature. It should be everyone's policy to leave an area cleaner than you found it.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant. And.. I think ANY salvage yard would be willing to take the carcass off your hands as long as you deliver it.

I had mine 3 day fedex my clip from cali, and I live in florida. So its doable. Once it got here I used a pallot truck to move it (it was on a large pallot) Now the remains of the clip is in the rear of my car )its in really good contion) my dad wants to use it for a RHD silvia.

It'd be a last resort Maine...first I'd contact a local scrap yard or even cut it up like McAdam said :D

Recently, I had the (dis)pleasure of driving all the way clear across North Dakota on 90/94 West, from Fargo to the Montana border. Let me tell you, that is the most two-dimensional landscape I have ever seen in my life. It's like being in a sensory deprivation tank. The only part of the journey that was even worthwhile was the Badlands at the end. I think I'll permanently scratch North Dakota off my "places to go" list.

Oh yeah, let me contribute to this thread. You could also use it as a picnic table or conversation piece.
