Ok well I totalled my Integra a year ago, been parting it out since and now I finally got rid of everything so I'm trying to cut it up so I can recycle the metal. The problem is I don't know what to use! I bought a Sawzall (it's actually made by Porter) but it takes too damn long to cut. I was told to use a torch? Anyone ever done this before? What did you use? Lemme know guys I need help! Thanks.

 

if you just want the car to be gone, call a junkyard, theyll pick it up free

 

you can take it to a scrap metal yard place. i think they actually give you a few bucks for it

 

Well I can get some money out of the metal I recycle. Some guy told me he recycled his old car (cut it up in pieces using a saw from his friend's shop) and he got $300 for it. My friend recycled his front clip remains and got $40 out of it. So why not.. Plus I'm not sure a junk yard would want my car, there's nothing left of it, just a fucked up BARE chassis.

 

Don't think the scrap metal yard will take the car whole. The guy who got $300 had to cut his up. BTW The car is just a chassis, no suspension, wheels, doors, nothing.

 

well I have parted out a few cars. and I just use a sawsall and a bunch of blades.
if you cut it into 3rds then you can fit the whole car in the back of a truck. its eerie looking.

 

Would you recommend I actually buy a Sawzall? I don't see a difference between what I got and a Sawzall, I'm even using the Sawzall blades. My saw is 10amp 230 SPM, is it sufficient?

 

I'd give it to a junkyard. Screw all that cutting junk. If you have the desire to do so though go for it man.

 

call trhe place and see if they will take a whole car. they do around here. my brother sold his for scrap.

wierd, if you do that take a pic

 

Ya at work we cut up Alfa Romeos all the time. Mostly Milanos. I have done two in the past few months. Next time Ill take pics. its really funny looking. When its cut into 3rds two guys can lift th parts into a pickup truck and place them vertically, and the whole car fits in the bed.

 

yeah i want to see pics of that..

 

I used to cut up old vw's at the shop I worked at. Use a sawzall with a metal blade. You will go through 2 or 3 blades, so buy a few.

 

I've got a Dewalt "Sawzall" that cuts up everything. I suggest you get one and get some good METAL cutting blades...not ones for drywall.

 

torches work awesome man! Get a few and go to town! lol

 

dewalt 18v cordless circular saw (WITH METAL CUTTING BLADE) this thing is bad ***.. just dont let it walk on you and cut off your finger

but it cuts metal beams and sheet 2x faster then a sawzall and the blade last longer

 

Use a cutting torch. It will do twice the work of any sawzall in half the time. Oh yeah, I think an Acetylene torch would work.

 

yeah my first way would be a cutting torch..

 

Use a shotgun...

 

I torch would do the trick

 

i wouldn't use a torch. I started cutting up my crx, what a pain in the ***. it kept catching fire and smoked real bad. I've never used a saw to cut up a car, but that's probably what I'd do if I had to do it again.

 

Here are some pics of my crx I cut up. I just used a sawzzle i wenty through alot of blades but it did the trick









Also a cut up crx fits into 5 garbage pales.

BWHAHAHAHA that is quite disturbing. LOL

My trash company would've thrown that **** back into my yard or not picked it up at all. LOL

Also if you are gonna cut it up, as Sawzall and Zizwheel work wonders on anything.
