How To Recycle Your Old Car


The key to starting your own shop is planning. I spent a couple of years planning and gathering shop equipment before I ever opened the doors. Back then I read somewhere that small businesses that planned at least 18 months prior to opening had the best chance of success.

Oil Leak: My 1993 Toyota Camry had a small oil leak. My grandpa told me to carry oil in my trunk and not worry about it. Several months later I was driving from Montana to California by myself for the first time. I was on my way home with no thoughts about breaking down in a little town called Madris, Oregon. My car would not start. By the grace of God I broke down in the parking lot of an auto parts store. They directed me to the local mechanic.

The best way to get ready for the rehabbing business is to grab a cup of coffee on Saturday mornings (even before you pickup a property) and head out to the salvage yard, builders' surplus store, junkyard and your mega home improvement store. Sniff around these places so you know what things cost. This will go a long way in helping you prepare budgets that are dead on that will have you smiling when you look at your bottomline.

Junkyard cars provide a wealth of cheap auto parts if you want to take the time to look. And you can get more stuff for the bucks you spend. Getting your cool auto into tip top shape is the real goal.

Know what you need to get the part off and take those tools. Take some extra tools, too, so you can take off anything that has to come off to get to your part. You just never know. You can carry your tool box or bag around with you. They don't care.

We live in a world that demands instant results. The Internet feeds right into the heart of this phenomenon. Within seconds of a search you can order and arrange delivery of any car part in the world. The international nature of the Internet means that you can even avoid the restrictions of petty border rules. For example a car owner in Argentina can very easily order a part from a Japanese company that is hundreds of miles away. All this can happen within an instant. If they attempted to achieve this feat within the assistance of the Internet, their failure would almost be assured.

Just like Duchamp used ready mades and called them art, such as his piece called the "Fountain" which was actually a used urinal, e36 car parts and auto parts can be used as art ready mades. You can take an old bumper or hub cap and call it a piece of artwork. Just simply sign your name to it, put it on a platform, and you have yourself a ready made. Or take used car part and smear it with paint and you can be engaging in a type of performance art. Contemporary art can be so many things, and it can even go as far as to creating art from old car parts and auto parts. There is so much that can be done with these old vehicle parts. You can also use them for a science fair and do tests on old vehicle parts to compare how new parts function better than old used parts.

Use your gut instinct. Whichever methods you use you should always go with what feels right, if the salesman seems a little pushy then walk out the door.
