We've always done this ,Each different car we've had over the years we bought or gathered up wrecks of the same model to save our selves some cash.
At one stage between 3 of us we had just over 100 cars ranging from EH's to Patrols.
Down to about 60 all up now as the scrap price was good ,($200 per car) Cleaned out all the crap like Camiras ,pulsars,an assorted other rice burners.
This paid for new car trailer plus a heap of new parts for our patrols. ie: my 3"lift an new 33"s
But you do need the room to do it ,we're lucky we,ve got 20 acres to hide them on.
90 maverick LWB 2" lift,General Grabber a/t
92 Coil Cab 3" lift, kl71 33"s n/a td42

Thats pretty full on.
our local council has recently starting cracking down on land owners with "junk" (not junk...lol) around everyones properties.
But around our area there's 20 acre properties full of rusted cars, sheds, old tractors, materials, etc.

I'd be up for a cheap buy between multiple mates - my brother is right now looking to purchase an older GU, but I'm pushing him towards a GQ - I've had both and have preference to the GQ, and same concept, if he gets a GQ, we can buy a wrecker to keep at my joint and rob spares from (mostly mechanical spares - not interiors and the like). But until he decides what he is doin, it's just a pipe dream ... good call red92gq, more people should do the same. You have to be cautious who you do it with though, as it can become a bit of a 'poo fight' should you all contribute the same money, but not see the value after the sale in spares for your car whilst your mate is building the "GQ from hell" ..

yeah i know one. my sisters house i just got a wreck and stripping it out basicly the only things we are getting rid of are the engin gearbox and transfer case. the rest is being kept. and then ditcing the body and rails. we thought it was the way to go after i crahed my car. we are switching out diffs and keeping others for spares and since i will be running a locker in the rear and my sister runs one in the front i can see some axels breaking.

Have any of you guys got a GQ jack handle and wheel brace you want to get rid of?
Also a windscreen washer bottle that isn't all perished and falling apart (I know this is a long shot).

Admin/Mods this needs moving I think?

My post? or the whole thread?
Can I just remove my post by reporting it? or does it still need to be manually done by a mod?
