Someone here must have done it...
My old disco is parked up at the back of ours down a tight lane. No access for a large vehicle. No option to tow out. Disco mirrors needed folding in to get through between two buildings, so no chance of getting it lifted out etc.
It currently still runs and drives. I've been umming and ahh'ing about what to do with it for some time. It's worth a bit as is, but I'd also like some bits off it, and by the time I've sold the vehicle and then bought back the bits I want, I may as well not bother... Apart from the fact that I then have the bother of getting rid of the rest of it!
Anyway, it's been inconclusive for some time and just sitting there, but I've now managed to kill the transfer box on the defender, so that's that.. the disco won't be driving out.
Hence I need to get chopping on it and it will all need to be carried about 15m by hand (body stuff, I'll keep the engine, axels etc)
I'm thinking the tool to use is a 9" grinder, but I don't really know. What I want is a magic vanishing wand, but I don't really want that sort round the back here as I think there may be more vanishing that just the disco.
Any top tips? Beyond torching it and calling it in to insurance? : )
