Preparing for the Scrappers

This past Wednesday, I was thinking how I should probably just get Sassy scrapped as it’s become little more than a rusting hulk in the driveway.  As serendipity would have it, later in the day a small scrapping company stopped by and offered me cash for Sassy.  I took their information but declined the on-the-spot offer as I wanted to get any interesting parts first.

So today I went out and went through the beast.  I took out the air horns I had installed, then got the under-hood fusebox (which will presumably come in handy for higher-power 12V projects I have in mind, what with the high-amperage fuses and relays).  I also pulled the stereo speakers but was unable to get the stereo itself (a wretched Clarion DB336MP that had problems playing 2 out of 3 MP3 CD’s I burned among numerous other problems).  I had forgotten that I had installed a power inverter under the dash so I grabbed that along with some miscellaneous items not bolted down like a couple dollars in change in the compartment in the center of the dash.  Finally from the rear I kept the scissor jack, spare tire, and the wiring for the trailer connector.

Upon completion, I guess I’m ready to get rid of it.  Although I’m sad I didn’t get to complete my intended project, I’m glad that I can free up some more yard space and recover the tarp that covers it before it gets shredded in the wind like the last one.
