Anybody want this wheel? Don't know what it's off, maybe Sunny? It's a 13 incher and the tyre is rooted but seems to hold air.

The price? Zip, Zero, Zilch, NADA

Good spotting, looks like old Corolla or Starlet - I've put it up on Oldschool, if there's no takers it'll be getting scrapped with the Z body I still need to get rid of.

Anybody know somebody that takes car bodies away with a Hiab or crane?

Craigs car body removal might. 0333746484
Or just do what I used to do, and cut the body into four smaller bits with an axe, and lift the bits onto a trailer to take to the dump.
Buy me a box of beers and I'll drink them, then cut it up for you. Just ask greg about the last time! :badgrin:

A quickcut saw is nowhere near as much fun as a axe. Put probably not as much work either.
The dump wont take shalls that aren't cut up. (Even in the scrap metal part)
Might go thru a few blades on the saw too.

Ease of moving car in it's current location with no suspension etc and getting it onto a trailer = 0

Price of hiring trailer that car may fit on in it's current state = $80
Scrap value of a 280Z with no motor, suspension, gearbox etc approx $50 - 60

Sounds lose lose to me, arms and legs will grow back.
