If you work on your own car regularly – whether you’re carrying out maintenance, modifying it or even restoring it – you’ll soon end up with an assortment of second-hand parts that you no longer want or need.
Before you know it, your once immaculate garage turns into a disorganised mess, full to the brim with random odds and ends. Working in that kind of environment isn’t ideal; it’s so easy to lose tools (and parts you actually need) with all that clutter around!
Not to mention it can be a hazard – tripping over a rogue suspension arm or brake disc could land you in A&E.
So, what can you do with your second-hand parts?
The solutions
If you own a classic or performance car (or one with any form of enthusiast following, like a 4×4), check in with owners’ groups on Facebook to see if your parts are of any use. Even if they seem like junk to you, they might come in handy for someone out there. You might not get much for them, but at least you’ll be helping a fellow enthusiast out – and you might even make a friend along the way!
If your parts really are a lost cause, though – perhaps they’re too rotten, damaged or are consumables like brake discs – your best bet will instead be to contact a scrap metal recycling specialist.
