these V12 parts wont fit in my waste bin. should i get a bigger trashcan or just leave them in my yard to rot away into nothingness. i mean i have 2 cams, 2 heads, 4 exhaust manifolds, a wiper arm assembly,a timing cover, a crank, pistons, rods, oil pan, crank pulley,etc. i suppose i could make some garage art out of them. maybe a nice lamp shade or something.
does anyone have any suggestions, cause i dont think the garbage man would take this.

 

probably not the block, but the other stuff, dont see why not. I'd throw it all in my trash can and throw a bag of house hold garbage on top to hide it all. by the time they dump it into their truck and see what was t the bottom... it would be too late. Doubt they'll go digging to get it out.

 

To bad we're so far apart, I'd take all those parts and rebuild it! Unless the block was split in half it's rebuildable! Heads the same.

 

well i wouldnt let you keep the block. thats gonna be my new foot stool.

 

Do the Top Gear UK thing. Put a piece of tempered glass on top of leveled head bolts and make a nice coffee table out of it.

You must have metal recyclers in your area? Usually someone will take free scrap metal, they'll pick it up.

 

i am after an engine crank damper that takes the serpentine type alternator drive belt from a v12 xj
if you have one

 

I just put anything metal to the curb and its gone before l turn around.....

 

Same here, depending on where you live and the accessibility there are pickers and scrappers who drive around looking for metal.

If you strip the block to bare aluminium you can probably get 100$ for it alone because cast alu is going for about 50 cents per pound.

If you dont want to be bothered, jump on craigslist usually people list adds for clean outs. If you call a few chances are one of them will gladly haul away that stuff for free.

 

of course i have recycling. i was being a bit facetious about throwing it away. it is going to go to recycling unless somebody wants something.

 

def not taking the battery.

some battery places will give you 5 bucks or so for a battery.

 

it only took me like 3 days total but i finally got my V12 down to the bare block. wow what a chore!

got an oil pump that i cant bare to throw away... any takers?

 

I like the wine rack.... That looks pretty slick!!

 

i have a nice large oval shaped SMOKED glass top for such a project,$1#0. bucks,you pay shipping! pm me.

 

why would i want smoked glass to hide the block i went though all the trouble of stripping down?

 

its see thru, pic

 

how much were you asking?

 

is it brown? too 70s for me

id closely examine how top gear fastened to the glass to theirs

 

100. you pay shipping, remember i have to pack it up so it dont break during ship.

be nice if you could drive to pick it up

 

lol. no thanks bros
