Hi all,

Stripping the corsa soon but say if all is left is a nackered block and 4 steelies, and say not much interior, will they still pick it up for scrap??

Or has there gotta be a minimum it has!?

What condition are your wings in mate? The scrappy will take it no matter what. Mine had no bumpers, no engine, no interior, front end had been cut to get the engine out and they collected it and gave me £30

Wings are in good enough condition, the passenger has a minor (1mm) on edge of wing right by the headlamps

Fancy taking some pics for me? I could do with some new ones as mine have both got a bit of rust by the indicator. Saves me paying to get them sprayed

How does the process of scrapping a car go? Is it just me has to go to DVLA office with log book or does the scrap yard also have to do something?

You just take car to scrap yard and they do it all. No need for you to do anything other than sign the log book
