Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 With a bit of luck I am shortly to be changing my chassis on my 86D 90 it has been patched and so I don’t think anyone would want it but it has had a new Bearmach rear cross member with leg extensions fitted under a year ago and it seems a shame just to scrap it when someone could use it. Does anyone think its worth putting on ebay or should I just get rid and save the ear-ache from having a front garden like Dibners yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I wouldn't bother to be honest, just get the money for it as scrap. It's not usable by anyone for any road-going vehicle, so buyers would be few I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffernutter Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 You could of course just cut off the rear crossmember and sell that separately (smaller amount of scrap on the lawn!) Knowing what price they are new, you should get £50 (or more) for it. Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy'd Gentry Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 From a buyers perspective, could I trust a second hand cross member? (No, Iwould buy new, swallow the cost, but at least I know the history of the part) From a sellers perspective, hey, there is always someone who thinks my trash is their treasure! Personally, I wouldn't bother with the hassle of cutting up the old chassis. Weighit in, and offset the cost of the new chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'd buy it off you (gotta be worth £30-40). I fit quite a lot of crossmembers, so will use it sometime soon. You are only 20-odd miles from me. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'd cut off the bit of chassis with the VIN no. and keep it as evidence that the new chassis under it is a replacement of an original. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 cut it off and sell it, scrap about 10 quid for 100 kilo so you wont get much if you weigh it in. i would buy it if it was solid and i needed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
