Kept a couple of bits of panels as I have a FHC that needs some minor (I hope) localised repairs to floor and inner wings.

I cut it up as the local weighbridge is only a mile away from me, so it would all stack up nicely in my little trailer that way. It's a 40 mile round trip for me to borrow my mates car trailer, so I'd have spent the money I got in scrap on DERV in the Land Rover.

I'm now in the middle of sorting out all the bits I kept (I've already scrapped one car) and trying to be a bit ruthless!

Once I've done that, I've got another one to dismantle - that one has a 2.0ltr Ford Pinto engine in it for some bizarre reason. That'll be getting weighed in too, along with another 3 engines I need to get shot of.

My wife will be well pleased when there's only one scrap TR on the drive. It would be much easier if they were Austin 7's or Bond Bugs...I've not 'broken' than fad to her yet!

I've heard of taking the engine out from the top or bottom, but this is the first time I've seen the tank from the top....probably took longer to get at it I'll bet.

so...what are you after here? Trying to get it in small enough pieces to fit in bin liners? [:p]

Just needed it in small enough managable pieces that I could lift and fit into my 4' x 8' little trailer (I forgot to take a photo). It all stacked up very neatly to about 3' high.

It took just over an hour to get the tank out by the way! When you're being rough-arsed things don't take that long.

As you can see - it took a little longer to get the axle out!! Ha ha.

Will be quicker when I do the next one as won't be wanting to keep any of the bits of metalwork.

Still sorting out all the bits I want to keep now.
