well it looks like the wreck is on its way to the scrapyard in the near future. 2 issues i could use advice on. I need to keep the shocks springs and rims. How do i make it towable? I've got 2 donuts I'm sure i could find 2 more wheels but what do i do about the suspension?

by the way now is really good time to get some discount parts especially if you pick em up

umm...maybe you can strike a deal with the salvage yard where you can follow the tow truck out and take your wheels and suspension after it gets to the yard. once at the yard, 9 chances out of 10, the car will get hauled around by a forklift.

if they pick it up with a rollback, then they can just drag it up on the truck. i've had it done before.

well im keeping the transmission so if i bolt the dead motor back into it will it hold with just the 2 monts or should i brace it with something?

btw if anyone wants a scrap motor to rebuild tinker or for parts come an get it $10 :)

I'll probly pull the head off out of curiosity otherwise see if its saleable
