Have an AU in my garage. Original plan was to strip it completely for parts, then cut the carcass into big bits and carry it out.
Can't be arsed, and just want it gone. Get it out the garage and call the scrap guy. It still has the engine, doors, boot, etc. Problem is that the rear axles and front suspension have been scavenged, so its not rolling out on its own wheels without a significant rebuild. A crane won't clear the garage door, about the only mechanical method would be one of those long-reach forklifts like Pickles use, and that's hardly feasible. If it were stripped, I could probably just use jacks and trolleys to move the carcass, but there's still a fair bit of weight. Any Ideas? |

Uuuummm I think you may have a slight problem.......Maybe try dragging it out of garage with a chain/towstrap with another car so a tow truck can get onto it and drag it up onto the tray. Sounds like its only worth a couple of hundred as scrap metal.

Jacks is your only option really. Will need a couple of guys to push it.

Couple of skateboards?
Or grab a few old pallets or whatever is handy and screw some castors to the bottom similar to this. Jack the car so you can get them under and a few mates to push/ steer to the kerb for the scrappy.

I might make up somethings that would be useful for furniture/ fridge moving in the future. Some meaty castors, and it should be ok. |

What ever you do make sure you have some sort of reliable way to stop it getting out of control and killing someone!

As above is what I used in your situation. Had this at one end and a large trolley jack at the other. The scrap collector but chains through the open doors and lifted the car onto the flat bed and it was gone.

Try all of the above
Use jokey wheels on each corner, logs or dollies underneath and call a scrap guy with a tilt tray, after it hits the tray will slide up

Go jacks with short lengths of timber (600-800mm) to sit where the tyres normally sit in them and pallets on top

Assuming the car is in the shed forward, hire a car trailer, jack up the rear of the car from as far forward as you can and reverse the trailer up as far as you can under it, lower it onto the trailer, use a trolley jack under the front and drag it on with a chain block. Use pieces of wood to protect the trailer.

If you are not worried about your driveway, just get the scrappy to winch it on his truck. They will drag the car up.
Seen this done many times before. |

Whatever method you do .. make sure you take some pics so we can see whether you managed ok or stuffed up badly lol. Either way it could be a valuable learning experience for us all.

whats your driveway like? I was recently in a similar situation but my driveway is dirt and rock and the truck couldn't get to the cars. So I just hooked cars going to scrap to the back of my EL wagon with chains and belly dragged them to a place where the truck could reach them. Ended up being easier then I excepted even with the shells being loaded up with parts
